论小诗:一个批评的范例

“小诗”是中国新诗发生期建构的重要型态,“小诗”的写作不仅是新诗这一体裁本身的“历史”,它更关涉到20世纪20年代中国社会复杂而歧异的思想状态和主体表达方式。作为一个诗学概念,“小诗”的命名是和周作人的日本诗歌译介相关的,周作人从译介日本诗歌中发展出“小诗”这一诗学概念。“小诗”之所以发生,一个重要的原因是五四时期中国社会复杂、岐异又激烈的思想状态以及寻找恰当的主体表达方式所致,也是早期新诗内部发展机制的需要。对于“小诗”的论述,涉及到以下几个相关理论问题:一是“小诗”的诗学特征,二是小诗与传统的关系,三是小诗与国际诗坛的关系。“小诗”作为早期新诗中的一种范型,从流行到衰落,集聚了中国新诗乃至新文学产生之初的诸多话语特征,对于“小诗”的批评,不仅源于早期新诗的自我设计和想像,更体现了现代文学的生产机制。
