自然主义文学在日本的产生及其本土化——兼与米洋先生商榷

The Birth and Localization of Naturalist literature in Japan——A Discussion with MR. Miyang

日本自然主义文学是在基本具备了消化吸收欧洲特别是法国自然主义文学的本土化条件之后产生的。它不会也不可能在与近代工业文明、科学思潮及科学方法论如此悬隔的宗教即神道、佛教、道教这一社会背景和文化土壤中产生。大逆事件导致了自然主义文学在日本的凋零和方向转换,并最终出现心境小说或私小说,使其成为日本自然主义文学本土化的最后归宿。

Japan produced its own naturalist literature after a basic absorption and assimilation of European, especially French, naturalist literature and its influences. It could hardly emerged from a social and cultural soil that, taking religion solely as Shinto, Buddhism and Taoism, was so different from the contemporary industrial civilization and the scientific trends of thought and of methodology. The Taigyaka Event led to the deterioration and diversion of Japanese naturalist literature, resulting eventually in the appearance of Shinkyo or Watakushi Novels, and in the end-result of Japanese naturalist literature.
