希望在于民间文本?——评《中国知青民间备忘文本》

Does Hope Lie in Folk Text?—— A Criticism on " Folk Memorandum Text about the Educated Youth of China

《中国知青民间备忘文本》是世纪初出版的一套以知青为题材的文本,这套文本具有三个方面的特征:首先,文本的作者面临着一种在纯文学与商业化之间进行艰难选择的困惑;其次,由于审美品格的缺失,致使文本的备忘价值大于其审美价值;第三,文本的策划者将这套文本定位为“民间文本”,带有很大的虚幻性与不确定性。纵观知青文学二十余年的发展历程,可以看出,这套文本并未能将知青文学创作提高到一个新的水平,因而,在新的历史条件下,知青文学的创作有待突破与提高。

Folk Memorandum Text about Educated Youth of China,whose subject is educated youth,came out at the begin of 21st century.The character of the text can be divided into three aspects:Firstly,authors of the text are faced with perplexity of hard selection between pure literature and commercialism;Secondly,because of the lack of aesthetic character ,the value of the text as memorandum exceeds the aesthetic value;Thirdly,it is very illusory and uncertain for schemer to orient the text as folk text.Through viewing longitudally the course of over twenty years of literature of educated youth,we can draw a conclusion that this set of text does not improve the creation of literature of educated youth to a new level,therefore ,under the new historical condition,the creation of literature of educated youth remains to be made breakthrough and transcended.
