第一次"文代会"与新文学传统的规范化阐释

新中国成立前夕召开的第一次全国文学艺术工作者代表大会(以下简称"文代会"),确立了"新民主主义"的文学史观,确定了"两条路线斗争"的文学史叙事线索,派生出一种新的文学史系统。"文代会"对纷纭复杂的文学史现象作了梳理,其中许多重要的观点和结论对现代文学史的建构产生了重要影响。当代中国文艺生产与管理体制的形成,是以"文代会"为发端,并由此获得理论支持。"文代会"显示了一个特殊年代对于文学传统的理解力,同时也表现出难于超越的历史局限性。随着时代变迁,"文代会"的思想、观念和概念有些已被摒弃,有些则在文学史书写中延续下来,甚至存留在"集体意识"之中,至今还影响着人们对新文学历史的"想象"。本文试图从几个最有影响的概念作为切入点,考察这一带有界碑性质的史事。

"The First Congress of the National Writers and Artists" and the Normative Explanation of the New Literary Tradition

The First Congress of the National Writers and Artists held just before the birth of New China in 1949 had the literary views of "new democracy",and the narrative way of "struggles between two lines",thus producing a new system of literary history.The establishment of artistic production and management system has come from this congress and has been supported by such theory.This congress displays an understanding of literary tradition in a special age.With years going by,some ideas and concepts are discarded,and others are kept in the books of literary history,even in the "collective consciousness",which influences the"imagination"of new literary history.This paper tries to survey this historical fact through some influential concepts.
