“建国十年优秀创作选拔本”与新中国文学经典化的生产机制

Selected Works of Excellent Creations in the First Decade of the People's Republic of China and the Production Mechanism of Canonization of New Chinese Literature

1959年,为庆祝新中国成立十周年,人民文学出版社推出了“建国十年优秀创作选拔本”丛书,对新中国文学的经典化产生了重要作用。“建国十年优秀创作选拔本”丛书所表现出的对革命历史主题的偏重、篇目的增删、内容的修改和副文本中亲身讲述式的政治认同强化等现象,是“十七年”时期文学经典化的重要生产机制。“建国十年优秀创作选拔本”丛书的出版,奠定了“十七年”时期文学的基本格局,也成为后来“红色经典”的话语源起。

In 1959,to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the People's Republic of China,the People's Literature Publishing House published the Selected Works of Excellent Creations in the First Decade of the People's Republic of China series,which played an important role in the canonization of Chinese new literature.The series emphasis on revolutionary historical themes,the addition and deletion of selectives items,the modification of content,and the strengthening of political identity through personal narration in the paratext demonstrate the important production mechanisms for literary canonization during the“Seventeen Years”before the Cultural Revolution.It can be said that the publication of the series laid the foundation for the basic pattern of literature during the“Seventeen Years”and became the source of discourse for the later“Red Canon”.
