回应现实与反思历史:谈王蒙小说创作的现实主义品性

Responding to Reality and Reflecting on History:On the Realistic Character of Wang Meng’s Novel Creation

王蒙是社会主义文艺的引领者,他的文学创作具有鲜明的现实主义品性。他的小说以关注现实、介入生活见长,他通过人物命运与情节发展的辩证性构述实现了小说对人生、对社会的反思,在他的作品中始终贯通着一种批判意识,这也是王蒙以文学反思历史、探讨文化的重要方式。对现实的关注、辩证法的运用以及带有自省意味的批判性,构成了王蒙创作中现实主义品性的三个重要维度。王蒙的文学创作,将现实主义品性与故事情节、人物的表现完满地融合在一起,使其作品成为当代现实主义文学作品的典范。在新的历史发展语境下,王蒙文学创作内蕴着的现实主义品性为新时代社会主义文艺创作提供了至为宝贵的经验,探讨其创作中一系列现实主义问题对于丰富现实主义文艺理论具有重要的借鉴意义。
