革命文学、左翼文学概念的意义生成与辩析

由于中国现代文学与政治之间的特殊关联,革命文学与左翼文学两个概念在主流文学史的阐释框架内被不断追加与重写,导致概念内涵不断扩容与泛化。从原初内涵看来:"革命文学"指的是左联成立之前未被组织化的革命作家在当时社会情境下对革命的一种自觉、主动的文学反应;"左翼文学"指左联成立至解散这个期间的无产阶级革命作家及其同路人作家反抗国民党政权文化围剿的文学实践。这样的界定既考虑到了革命文学提倡的阶段性、复杂性,又指出了左翼文学的质的规定性,同时将其与延安文学、社会主义文学、文革文学等概念区别开来。对革命文学、左翼文学概念的厘定不仅是为了推进左翼文学研究,也试图为中国现代文学研究的概念定位提供一种可行的思路。

The Evolution and Expansion of the Concept of Revolutionary Literature and Left-wing Literature

The concept of "revolutionary literature" and "left-wing literature" experienced continuous expansion and generalization as a result of the special relationship between Chinese modern literature and politics.The original connotation of "revolutionary literature" refers to active literary response made by revolutionary writers before the foundation of League of the left-wing writers,while "left-wing literature" refers to literary practice made by proletarian revolutionary writer and fellow writers against the Kuomintang regime cultural suppression after the foundation of League of the left-wing writers.
