1990年代刘震云的另类叙事

1990年代的刘震云从"新写实"主义走向了"新历史"主义,其语言风格叙述特色也迥异于前期创作,从冷静客观的描述到尖刻的嘲讽与戏谑,带有某种先锋与试验倾向。这种转向源于他的"历史循环观"或称"原点历史观",源于其对民族因袭的集体无意识的洞察。耻辱成为主题,对于历史的仔细打量成为他与文学相连的一种方式。戏谑与反讽在这里成为一种带泪的怆痛,其所呈现的沧桑感和历史感亦空前浓烈。但如果将这种反讽与戏谑发展到极端的地步,其弊端也是显而易见的。

On the Unique Narrative of LIU Zhen-yun in the 1990s

The authors maintain that the 1990s witnessed a transition in LIU Zhen-yun's novel from "Neo-Realism" to "Neo-Historicism", and, as far as language and narrative style is concerned, from a naturalistic approach to satire and irony. The paper explains that this shift stems from LIU's "circular historicism" and an insight in the collective unconscious of the Chinese nation. In so doing, he had disgrace as his major subject and historical investigation as his relationship to literature. The paper further points out that satire and irony used to excess will bring out their limitations.
