2022年度中国中篇科幻小说创作综述

A Comprehensive Overview of Chinese Science Fiction Novella,2022

2022年度中国中篇科幻小说发表总量在70篇左右,尽管数量上较往年有所减少,但从题材的深化、中国特色科幻话语体系的建构、叙事艺术的探索等方面来讲,质量与往年持平。科幻题材上以后人类、元宇宙、人工智能等三个题材最为热门,既充满未来想象又不乏现实关怀。对中国特色科幻话语体系的建构值得关注,具体呈现在对中国历史文化话语的再造式利用,武侠、玄幻等中国特有的通俗文学类型与科幻的深度融合,中国地方性书写的融入等三个方面。科幻叙事艺术上,进行了叙事语言科学化、元叙事、跨媒介叙事等陌生化的尝试,并在科幻的类型化叙事方面继续深化。

In 2022,approximately 70 science fiction novellas were published in China.Although the number has decreased compared to previous years,the quality remains consistent when considering the depth of subject matter,the construction of a science fiction discourse system with Chinese characteristics,and explorations in narrative artistry.In terms of subject matter,post-human,metaverse,and artificial intelligence emerged as the most popular themes,blending futuristic imaginations with genuine societal concerns.The construction of a science fiction discourse system imbued with Chinese characteristics is noteworthy.This is manifested in the transformative utilization of Chinese historical and cultural discourse,the profound integration of uniquely Chinese popular literary genres such as martial arts and fantasy with science fiction,and the incorporation of region-specific Chinese narratives.In the realm of science fiction narrative artistry,there have been avant-garde attempts at scientizing narrative language,meta-narratives,and cross-media storytelling,with further deepening in genre-specific narratives.
