批评的选择——重返“上海批评圈”与先锋小说

The Choice of Criticism—Returning to the “Shanghai Criticism Circle” and Avant-Garde Novel

20世纪80年代中后期,“先锋小说”作为文学新潮在较短时间内形成了强劲的力量,冲击了当时现实主义创作原则规约之下的文坛,在此过程中文学批评发挥了不容忽视的作用。其中,“上海批评圈”以敏锐的眼光与多维度的探索建构起自身独特的批评话语,开启了先锋小说的经典化进程,为先锋小说的文学史评价奠定了基础。同时,先锋小说与“上海批评圈”在共时生长的过程中紧密合作,协同建构起彼此的话语空间。但“上海批评圈”的批评活动与先锋小说创作的共生关系也形成一系列的局限性,一定程度上使得“先锋”的退潮与转型成为必然。

In the mid-to-late 1980s.“Avant-garde Novel”,as a new literary trend,gained significant influence in a short period of time,and challenged the literary world which was dominated by the writing principle of realism at that time.In this process,literary criticism played an indispensable role.Among them,“Shanghai Criticism Circle”,with a keen vision and multi-dimensional exploration,constructed its own unique critical discourse,which initiated the canonization of Avant-garde Novel and laid the foundation for the evaluation of Avant-garde Novel in the literary history.Meanwhile,the Avant-garde Novel and the“Shanghai Criticism Circle”closely collaborated during their simultaneous development,jointly constructing each other’s discursive space.However,the symbiotic relationship between the critical activities of the“Shanghai Criticism Circle”and the creation of Avant-garde Novel formed a series of limitations which,to some extent,made the recession and transformation of the“Avant-garde”inevitable.
