“新南方写作”:文学事件的发生与文学策略的选择

"New Southern Writing":The Occurrence of Literary Events and the Choice of Literary

“新南方写作”是批评家、作家、期刊编辑、文学期刊合力造势的文学事件,也是从知识到共识的文学生产。在“新南方写作”发生、发展的过程中,概念的内涵和外延被不断地丰富和拓展,这暴露出概念的不确定性和模糊性,甚至某种意义上可以看作是对现有文学命名的整合。作为一种文学策略,“新南方写作”试图从“寻根文学”的文学脉络中找寻理论资源和实践支撑,但由于二者所处的社会语境和文化语境有所不同,“新南方写作”在以文化视角介入文学想象、重塑方言的力量、以地方书写想象中国和世界三个方面都对“寻根文学”进行了重构。除“新南方写作”之外,“新东北文学”“新北京作家群”“文学新浙派”等地域文学思潮的兴起使“地域”与“文学”之间的张力再次成为文坛热点,但需警惕的是地域写作不应成为文学圈地运动。

"New Southern Writing"is a literary event created by critics,writers,periodical editors and literary journals,and it is also a literary production from knowledge to consensus.As a literary strategy,"New Southern Writing"tries to find theoretical resources and practical support from the literary context of"Root-Seeking Literature".However,due to their different social and cultural contexts,"New Southern Writing"reconstructs"Root-seeking Literature"from three aspects:intervening in literary imagination from a cultural perspective,remolding the power of dialects,and imagining China and the world with local writing.In addition to New Southern Writing",the rise of regional literary thoughts such as"New Northeast Literature","New Beijing Writers Group"and"Literature of New Zhejiang School"has made the tension between"region"and"literature"become a hot spot in the literary world again,but it should be warned that the naming of regional writing should notbecomea literaryenclosuremovement.
