Shelter,Ebb and Change——The fate of 1980s'revolutionary historical novels

在主流文学史叙述中,20世纪80年代成为了革命历史小说发展脉络中的断裂。20世纪80年代的革命历史小说表现出两条线索:一方面,传统话语的革命历史小说出现退潮的趋势;另一方面,在“向内转”的创作潮流下,革命历史题材的小说也在思想与艺术层面消解了宏大叙事,并呈现出多种新的样态。80年代“纯文学”思潮对“革命历史小说”这一概念的遮蔽,正是一种新的文化规约。

In the narration of the mainstream literary history,the 1980s became a break in the development of revolutionary historical novels.The revolutionary historical novels of the 1980s showed two clues.On the one hand,the revolutionary historical novels of traditional discourse tended to ebb;On the other hand,under the trend of“turning inward”,the novels with revolutionary historical themes also deconstructed the grand narrative at the ideological and artistic levels,and presented a variety of new patterns.The trend of depoliticization in the 1980s covered the concept of“revolutionary historical novels”,which was just a new kind of cultural norm.
