民粹主义思想与“五四”文学

“五四”思想的民粹主义因子是温和而潜隐的,但从后来它的极端化引发的历史文化进程的灾难性后果来看,对民粹主义在中国传播的早期所呈现出的面貌做一些本质性的梳理是非常必要的,它会帮助我们理解本世纪历史叙事中的主能指及其之间错综复杂的关系。文学创作和相应的文学观念是“五四”民粹主义思想渗透的一个独特又重要的纬度,也是民粹主义在后世产生巨大影响的重要体现,从“五四”文学这一视角入手,做这样的梳理将有助于许多观念的澄清和理解。

The Populism and "May the Fourth" Literature

The Populism factor of "May the Fourth" ideology is mild,latent and obscure.However,from the catastrophic result in the historical and cultural process resulting from its extremalization,it is very necessary to make some essential analysis on the early outlook of the Populism disseminated in China,hence helping us to understand the principal part and meaning of the historical narration in this century,as well as their complicated relations.The literary creation and its corresponding concepts are not only an important and special mode for the infiltration of "May Fourth" Populism,but also a major manifestation of the great influence of Populism on the following generations.With "May the Fourth" as a visible angle,such analysis will be conducive to straightening out and understanding many concepts.
