底层与纯文学:两个不相关事物的相关性

“底层”是社会学概念,本与“纯文学”不相干.但从观念反思的角度看,文学与社会的不相关,恰恰是1980年代中期形成、日后则愈显狭隘的文学观的产物.在某种转义的意义上,“底层”和“纯文学”重新建立起的相关性,将使日益被实体化的“纯文学”观念释放出新的意义,并在新的历史条件下获得其当初执意祛除的伦理性、政治性和社会性.

Grass Roots and Literature: Dependence of Two Uncorelated Things

As a sociological concept,"grass roots" ought have nothing to do with "pure literature".But viewing it from the retroanalytic angle of the mentality,the uncorelation between literature and society is the very product of literary conception,which took shape in the middle of 1980 and became increasingly narrower afterwards.In a certain sense,their established corelationship will enable the "pure literature",which is being hypostatized day by day,to release new senses,and under the new historical conditions,to obtain its ethical,political and social nature that it formerly insisted on discarding.
