从乡土到农村:中国现当代文学题材的重要转换

“乡土文学”和“农村题材小说”是两个包含着不同价值取向和历史形态的文学史范畴。它们所对应的文学创作,分别指涉着两种不同的乡村社会形态。但在实际使用上却存在范畴边界消弭的倾向,在以“乡土”覆盖“农村”的情形下,产生了“乡土文学”的指认焦虑。而在具体探究这两种文学史范畴的差异与联系的过程中,我们可以发现二者之间的置换,喻示着中国现当代文学题材的重要转换。具体体现在文学创作中,便是作为异质性因素的“他者”的进入;即阶级关系改变了乡土社会原有的人际格局,从而使文本地相应呈现出一种变貌。

From home village to the farm: the important transform of the theme of Chinese modern literature

"The home village narrative" and "the farm -subject novel" are two different categories of Chinese modern literature history, which rely on the different values. The writings which behold in each one also give to the different social circumstance of villages. But in the practical using there exists the tendency that the boundary of the two terms withers away. So when the term "home village" covers the term "farm" , the meaning of the category "the home village narrative" becomes indistinct. But the changes between the two categories show the transform of the theme of Chinese modem literature, which reflects that other enters into the villages. The class relationships of people change the former state of the villages, so the texts show the different styles.
