“浪漫的崇高”与“流动的乡愁”——兵团文学的美学特色

“The Romantic Sublime”and“the Flowing Nostalgia”:A Study of the Aesthetic Characteristics of the Corps Literature

兵团文学既自觉融入当代新疆多民族文学的斑斓图谱,也以反映兵团社会历史变迁和几代兵团人命运故事为旨归,在书写兵团农场日常生活、再现兵团人市场经济改革大潮中的心理调适、塑造兵团代际形象等领域取得瞩目成绩。兵团文学具有以奉献精神为内核的崇高美,这种美学特质熔铸了中华优秀传统文化的家国情怀。此外,兵团文学尝试突破英雄史观束缚,以摇镜头的观视方式,展示兵团人如何重塑“故乡”与“家乡”的情感结构。文本中流淌的乡愁,与其说是对“故乡”的眷恋,不如说是对兵团人创造美好生活的憧憬。这些叙事文本尝试激活兵团初创期的历史记忆,为弘扬和传播兵团精神、铸牢兵团屯垦戍边文化认同提供重要参照。

The corps literature not only consciously integrates into the colorful spectrum of contemporary multi-ethnic literature in Xinjiang,but also aims to reflect the social and historical changes of the corps and the life stories of several generations of the corps people.The corps literature has achieved remarkable achievements in writing the daily life of the corps farms,reproducing the psychological adjustment of the corps people in the wave of the reform of market economy,and shaping the intergenerational images of the corps.With a noble beauty centered on the spirit of dedication,the corps literature embodies the patriotism of excellent traditional Chinese culture.In addition,the corps literature tries to break through the shackles of hero-dominant historical view,and shows how the corps people reshape the emotional structures of“hometown”and“home place”in the way of panning shots.The nostalgia throughout the literary texts is not so much attachment to“hometown”as a longing for the corps people to create a better life.These narrative texts attempt to activate historical memory of the corps in its initial stage,and provide important references to carrying forward and disseminating the corps spirit and consolidating the cultural identity of the corps for reclamation and safeguarding borders.
