关于中国当代文学审美现代性的一点思考

My Ponderation over the Aesthetic Modernity of the Contemporary Chinese Literature

文论界有学者把西方现代派文学反现代性、反理性、反意识形态性的审美现代性视为普适性的标准 ,用以规范中国当代文学的发展方向和目标。本文对这一观点提出异议。认为应当根据文学与中国社会主义现代化进程所形成的特有的审美关系 ,赋予中国当代文学以审美现代性的新内涵。就批判性的审美精神而言 ,中国当代文学与西方现代派文学虽有共通性 ,但也存在着明显的异质性。无视这种异质性 。

In this article, it is thought of as highly controversial that the antimodernity, anti-rationality and anti-ideology of the aesthetic modernity prevailing in the modern western literature can be regarded as universal standards and be used as a yardstick for the developing orientation and goal of the contemporary Chinese literature —— an argument stated by some scholars in the literary critical field at home. It is the author's viewpoint that the new connotation of aesthetic modernity should be injected into the contemporary Chinese litreature on the basis of a special aesthetic relaition shaped by the literature in the course of China's socialist modernization. So far as the critical aesthetic spirit is concerned, though there are some traits in common between the contemporary Chinese literature and the modern western literature, there still exists obvious heterogeneity. To neglect the heterogeneity will be bound to misguide the development of the contemporary Chinese literature.
