21世纪非洲法语文学特征探微

The Characteristics of African French Literature in the 21st Century

经历了20世纪后半叶的蓬勃发展,非洲法语文学已成长为世界文学中一支不可忽视的力量。在迈入21世纪的同时,它也站在了自身发展史的交汇点上,需要在继承与创新之间找到发展的新动力。它继续保持了对历史的反思和对当下的批判,关注民族、社会未来的出路。但相较于强调民族特性和书写民族共同经验的20世纪作品,21世纪非洲法语文学的题材具有更大的普世性,并表现出明显的对个体经验的倚重。在对历史、当下、未来的探讨中,加入了对个人生存状况的刻画和精神世界的探索,个体视角不断加强,并且更加重视剖析人的自我价值。非洲法语文学通过回望历史,剖析当下,诘问未来逐渐塑造出文学自身的发展史和传承史,体现了非洲法语作家摆脱西方话语、构建自身叙事体系的诉求。

After the development in the second half of the 20th century,African French literature has grown into a force that cannot be ignored in world literature.While entering the 21st century,it is also standing at the intersection of its own history,and needs to find a new driving force for development between inheritance and innovation.It continues to reflect on history and criticize the present,focusing on the future of the nation and society.However,compared with the works of the 20th century that emphasize national characteristics and write about the common experience of the nation,the themes of African French literature in the 21st century are more universal and show a clear reliance on individual experience.In the discussion of history,present,and future,the portrayal of personal living conditions and the exploration of the spiritual world are added,the individual perspective is continuously strengthened,and more attention is paid to the analysis of human self-worth.By looking back at history,analyzing the present,and interrogating the future,African French literature has gradually shaped the history of its own development and inheritance,reflecting the appeal of African French writers to get rid of Western discourse and build their own narrative system.
