历史题材文学创作五向度

中国当代历史题材文学创作须有五个向度。历史观是创作的指导思想,创作历史题材文学作品要关注的第一个向度,既然是在写"历史",就不能不对你写的那段历史有一种理解和评判。以"大历史观"从长时间、远距离、宽视界地审察和批判历史,是可取的。历史题材文学创作的核心地带是艺术真实,对此向度历来成为关注的焦点,需用"建构"的观点来解释,原本的历史真相是"历史1",历史文献是"历史2",而历史题材文学中虚构的历史是"历史3",艺术真实应是"历史3"。价值判断关系到对历史的深刻评价,是历史题材文学又一个重要向度。历史的前进经常伴随着悲剧性,从而形成历史的"悖论",历史—人文张力论,可以解决历史上纠缠不清的"悖论"。历史总是处在过去、现在和未来的时间链条中。写历史题材的文学作品,最终是要与现实对话。在此向度上,既"用现在解释过去",又"用过去解释现在"的观念,也是必要的。文体审美化是历史题材文学的第五个向度,关系到作品的艺术魅力问题。古人提出的"情以物兴"和"物以情观"的双向拓展应是营造审美化文体的关键。
