乡土的腥秽与芬芳--近年乡村叙事述评

在当代"显学"农民问题研究的映衬下,纯粹的乡土叙事(民工题材除外)显得较为沉寂。但优秀的乡土叙事作品仍不时出现于各大期刊。主要包括三大主题书写:一、乡村权力批判和国民性批判;二、乡村/城市的二元对立及农民对城市的向往和追逐;三、对区别于传统乡村想象的丰富醇厚的乡土之美的挖掘。三大主题共同构筑了近年乡土叙事的坚实基座。

A Review of the Folk Narratives in Recent Years

Under the background of the hot research of peasant problems, pure novels on the countryside's subject matter except for those on the rural labor keep a long silence these years. But excellent compositions of folk narratives occasionally appear on leading journals covering the three topics: 1) criticisms of rural power and nationality; 2) conflicts of ideas between rural people and citizens; 3) the exploration of the beautifulness of the countryside. The three topics together lay a solid foundation of the folk narratives.
