关注当代长篇小说的诗学问题——兼评《长篇小说的诗学观察》

20世纪90年代之后中国长篇小说创作的最突出特征,一是数量的剧增,再是文体形式的激变。黄忠顺的《长篇小说的诗学观察》大约是立足于这一时期长篇小说文体资源之上对长篇小说诗学问题给予专门思考的第一部比较系统的著作。它以深具文学史背景的当代眼光,在对这一时期长篇小说文体发展的宏观走势给予独特把握的基础上,具体剖析了这一文体在处理哲学、呈现神话、表现寓言、传达历史,以及情节模式的颠覆与重建等方面的诗学作为。当老派的现实主义长篇小说诗学话语已无力与当代那些于艺术上有所作为的长篇小说创作达成交流的时刻,这是一项事关我们面对当代能否开口言说和如何言说的研究。希望有更多的人来关注当代长篇小说诗学问题。

A Concern About Poetical Problems of Contemporary Novels

There are two most striking features for the novel production in China after the 1990s: rapid growth of numbers and radical change of styles. Poetical Observation of Novels by Huang Zhongshun may be the first systematic work which is based on the stylistic resources of the period and gives special reflections on the poetical problems of novels. With a penetrating eye of literary historical background, the author, based on his personal grasp of the mega - trend of the stylistic development of the novel, specifically analyzes the poetical achievements of the style in treatment of philosophy, presentation of myths, display of fables, transmission of history and overthrowing and reconstructing of plot patterns. When the poetical discourse of old ?fashioned realistic novels can not communicate with the contemporary novel production that is artistically ambitious, this involves the study of what to say and how to say it in contemporary times. It is hoped that more and more people turn to the poetical problems of contemporary novels.
