市场化年代追随现实的文学

The Literature Following the Reality at the Age of Marketization

中国现代文学一直在现实之中而不怎么在文学之中,进入市场化年代后,适应与追随现实的"载道"传统使20世纪80年代和90年代文学具有本质性和整体性一致,它们都较多关注现实而较少关注文学自身,较多关注文学与现实的直接性关系而较少关注文学与现实的想象性关系,文学通常被作为一种现实现象来阅读,文学成为现实的直接展开,多元的个体性文学在艺术对现实的追随立场上统一起来。追随现实的标志性特点是以时间对文学命名,一波波代际名称代替了文学现象,不同时间的同一写作只能以时间区别便证明了文学意义的匮乏,对现实的追随使写作变成了时装表演,而且越来越像商业广告。文学以启蒙现代化的沉重而变成追随市场化的轻松,各种现实性的文学时尚标志中已很难见到文学品性。

Chinese Contemporary Literature has stressed more on the reality than on the Literature itself. Since the age of Marketization,the tradition of propagating doctrines by means of literature adapting to and following the reality has made the essentiality and wholeness of the literature in the 1980s'and in the 1990s' converge. They all have paid much more attention to the reality rather than to the literature itself,more to the direct relation between literature and the reality but less to the imagination relation between them. Literature is generally read as a realistic phenomena and becomes the direct extending of the reality. Various individuality literature unit in the stand of art follows reality. The following of the reality features naming Literature after time and the denomination of one generation after another substitute the phenomena of literature. The fact that the same writing in different periods can be only differentiated by time testifies the scarcity of the meaning of literature. Following the reality turns writing into fashion shows and becomes more and more like commercial advertisements. The thickness of enlightening modernization of literature becomes the leisure of following marketization. The virtue of literature has seldom appeared in the fashionable marks of various realistic literatures.
