1990年代:走向叙事自觉时期的短篇创作

Narrative Self-consciousness: Short Story Writing of the 1990s

1990年代以来短篇小说在借鉴了现代派小说理论及叙事话语之后,重新发现了叙事的重要性,不仅改变了以往小说忽略形式因素的模式,而且在叙事上表现出独特的文本策略。本文从叙事时空、叙事视角、叙事者、叙事方式等方面对这一时期的短篇小说进行深入考察,认为1990年代以来短篇小说真正进入了文体自觉时期,小说的叙事“话语”与文体相互对照、补充,在短篇小说的艺术发展中发挥着越来越重要的作用。

The authors hold that China's short story writing in the 1990s integrated the Modernist theories and narrative discourse, rediscovered the significance of narration, and consciously shifted its attention from the previous neglect of form to a new textual strategy in narration. Based on a comprehensive survey of such aspects as narrative time-space, narrative perspective, narrator and narrative mode, the paper concludes that China's short story writing has entered an era of self-consciousness, and the contrastive complementation between narrative discourse and text is playing an increasingly important role in the art of short story writing.
