漫水家园的多维建构——论王跃文的乡土小说创作

Multidimensional Construction of Literary Image of Water Villag——A Critique on Wang Yuewen's Rural NovelsYan Jiexiong

王跃文因对政府机关人际生态的精微叙写在图书市场走红,被遮蔽其他题材的写作以及纯文学底色。近年来,学界往往着眼于王跃文“官场”小说的创作,对其乡土小说研究较少,缺少综合性整体性观照。事实上,王跃文乡土小说也是颇为丰富的。首先,他秉承“文学即人学”的理念,以辩证眼光透视了乡村人性的丰富性和复杂性;其次,把民俗文化作为小说生发的土壤,通过对湘西的民俗描写,描绘出一个充满烟火气和人情味的漫水家园;再者,以政治日常化处理,实现政治权力话语的参与消解,形成一个与政治权力话语对峙的乡村价值体系。

Wang Yuewen is popular in the book market because of his subtle description of the interpersonal ecology of government agencies,and his novels on other topics and the background of pure literature are neglected.In recent years,academic circles often focus on the literary creation of Wang Yuewen's"officialdom"novels with a little research on his rural novels,lacking comprehensive and holistic critique and study.In fact,Wang Yuewen's rural novels are also quite rich.First of all,adhering to the concept of"literature is human studies",he has a dialectical perspective on the richness and complexity of rural human nature.Secondly,taking folk culture as the literary source of his novels,through the description on the folk custom in Western Hunan Province,he depicts the Water Village with a strong flavor of rural life and a human touch.Moreover,the regular politicization materializes the participation and elimination of the discourse of political power,and form a rural value system that confronts with the discourse of political power.
