《钟山》与“新写实小说”合法性的建构

Zhong Shan and the Construction of the Legitimacy of“New Realistic Novel”

当“新写实小说”作为一种新的文学现象出现时,为了使“新写实小说”被文坛接受并在文学史中获得合理位置,《钟山》编辑部通过命名、评论、集结作品等方式,参与了为“新写实小说”正名的话语活动,确立了“新写实小说”的合法性。首先,《钟山》编辑部通过为“新写实小说”命名与理论界定,将符合“新写实小说”身份的作家纳入整体阵营中,建构“新写实小说”作家身份的合法性。其次,《钟山》编辑部将“新写实小说”置于现实主义、现代主义大框架下寻求其历史源头,为“新写实小说”入史提供了依据。最后,《钟山》编辑部还通过推出评论文章等形式对“新写实小说”的美学特征进行挖掘,肯定它新的美学品格,从而确认其美学合法性。

When the“new realistic novel”emerged as a new literary phenomenon,in order to make it accepted by the literary world and gain a reasonable position in the history of literature,Zhong shan,a literary magazine,participated in the discourse activities to correct its name through important ways such as naming,commenting,and assembling works,thereby establishing its legitimacy.First of all,the magazine includes writers who meet its identity into the overall camp by naming and theoretically defining“new realistic novel”,and constructs the legitimacy of the identity of“new realistic novel”writers.Secondly,the magazine places it under the framework of realism and modernism to seek its historical source,providing a basis for its entry into history.Finally,by launching critical articles,works,and other forms,it explores the aesthetic characteristics of“new realistic novel”,affirms its new character,and confirms its aesthetic legitimacy.
