乌托邦情结的消解——中国“后新时期”文学创作的一种精神向度及其文化品性

乌托邦作为一种人文主义的理想 ,是历代具有使命和责任感的作家的精神追求。本文拟就 80年代中期以来 ,中国文学领域出现的一种反乌托邦创作倾向 ,阐述文学作品在削弱和厌弃了精神性力量之后 ,具有明显的后现代文化品性这一观点。其表现为 :深度意义的消失 ,历史意识被抹去 ,主体的跌落等。并指出 ,反乌托邦作品是以消解理想主义谜底的方式重设虚无的寓言。

A study of post-modern cultural characteristics of Chinese counter-utopian works

Utopia as a humanistic ideal is the spiritua1 pursuit of writers with strong sense of mission and responsibility in different ages.This paper expounds the viewpoint that literary works show remarkable post-modern cultural characteristics when a counter-utopian creative trend has occurred in China's literary field after the weakening and discarding of spiritual forces since late 1980s.These characteristics include the disappearance of the deep meaning,the obscureness of the historical consciousness and the decline of the subject matter.The paper also points out that counter-utopian literary works are fables redesigning utopia by means of guessing idealist riddles.
