百年乡土文学与新乡村书写(笔谈)

Centennial Local Literature and New Rural Writing

现当代文学史中常有“断离”,当新文学成为现代文学,当代文学即告别了新文学,1980年代文学更以一种新的姿态与20世纪50—70年代文学断裂,而在不断的“断离”后,学界亦有尝试重建“20世纪中国文学”之整体面貌或逻辑的工作。进入21世纪第三个十年,我们发现当面对新的事物、事件,漫长的20世纪仍是我们不断回望并与之对话的对象,事实上我们依然习惯于在与20世纪的不断对话中命名、树立坐标以定位那些“新”。乡土文学即是如此。“乡土”在当下语境不仅包含一种社会行动的命意,而且其在文学上的展开更具有历史意义。
