现代散文理论话语中的“个人”与“社会”

“Individual” and “Society” by the Discourse of Modern Prose Theory

在现代散文理论话语里,“个人”与“社会”是两个密切相关的审美范畴,构成了散文个性观念的一体两面。理论界之所以将两者勾连在一起,既缘于时代精神的感召,也在于它们各自内涵指涉的不可分割性。对于散文中“个人”与“社会”的关系,当时的理论界主要围绕以下三个方面展开言说:扩大散文的题材,从个人的身边琐事到宏大的社会时务,皆可取材;解放散文的思想内容,以个人视角能动反映广泛的社会人生,有思想的光芒和智性的魅力;推崇深受作者人格精神涵养又具有穿透现实社会能力的艺术手法。

In the discourse of modern prose theory, “individual” and “society” are two closely related aesthetic categories, which constitute one and two sides of the concept of prose personality. The reason why the theoretical circles connect the two is not only due to the call of the spirit of the times, but also due to the indivisibility of their respective connotation. For the relationship between “individual” and “society” in prose, the theoretical circle at that time mainly focused on the following three aspects: expanding the theme of prose, from personal trivial matters to grand social and current affairs;Emancipate the ideological content of prose, dynamically reflect a wide range of social life from a personal perspective, and have the light of thought and intellectual charm;It advocates the artistic technique which is deeply cultivated by the author’s personality and spirit and has the ability to penetrate the real society.
