论非虚构写作中的“理真”

On the“Truth in Reasoning”in Non-Fiction Writing

在践行“求真行动”的过程中,新世纪以来的非虚构写作一直追求“事真”、“情真”和“理真”的有机统一,尤其是在传达“理真”的叙事策略上,表现得尤为灵活和复杂。它常常以问题意识为导向,由作者充当叙事的组织者、调控者和事件的“见证人”,并始终置身于叙事现场,灵活表达创作主体的内心之思。同时,它还充分调动当事人的言说功能,集纳不同当事人的内心看法和认知,在多维度的聚焦中不断激活读者内心的认同感。为了进一步强化“理真”的叙事效果,非虚构作者还广泛征引有关文献资料,在准专业化的分析中充实并印证自己的观念。非虚构写作的这种叙事追求在一定程度上承续了中国文学的“载道”传统,并回应了人们对于历史现实的重要关切。

In the process of practicing the“Quest for Truth Action,”non-fiction writing since the turn of the century has consistently pursued the organic unity of“truth in events,”“truth in emotions,”and“truth in reasoning.”This pursuit,especially in the narrative strategy to convey“truth in reasoning,”has shown remarkable flexibility and complexity.It often takes a problem-oriented approach,with the author acting as the organizer,regulator,and“witness”of the narrative,always immersing themselves in the narrative scene,freely expressing the inner thoughts of the creative subject.Simultaneously,it effectively motivates the expressive capacity of the involved participants,gathering inner perspectives and cognition from different people,continuously activating readers’sense of identification through multi-dimensional focus.To further enhance the narrative effectiveness of“truth in reasoning,”non-fiction authors cite a wide range of relevant materials,enriching and confirming their own ideas through quasi-professional analysis.This narrative pursuit in non-fiction writing,to a certain extent,carries on the Chinese literary tradition of“conveying truth”and responds to people’s significant concerns about historical reality.
