论铁凝小说的审丑意识

一个文学家囿于古典艺术的美学规范,只描绘美,不表现丑,就会使文艺创作失去回应现实、批判现实的力量,不免让人觉得太做作、太虚假,因为它掩盖了部分社会现实,无视个体心灵的真实。因此,把表现和展示人性丑引入文艺创作范围,才能契合人真实的生命体验。铁凝以作家的良知和责任,直面死亡与暴力、人格的扭曲与异化等生活中的“丑”,并以犀利的笔锋将其转化为艺术的美。

The Alert of History, The Guard of Humanity Comment on Tiening's consciousness of her appreciation of ugliness in her novels

Ugliness is the greatest truth in reality,which can't be avoided.If writers still limit themselves to the aesthetic standard of classical art,describing only the beautiful instead of ugliness,it will cause the literary and artistic creation to lose the power to respond to and criticize the reality,making people feel it is too affected and too false,because it conceals the reality of social division,ignoring the creation of individual mind.Only by surmounting obstacles,taking another short cut and introducing ugliness into the range of expression in literature and art can we writers suit human true experience of life.With a writer's conscience and responsibility, Tiening faces ugliness in life directly,such as death and violence,distortion of personality and alienation.What's more,she transforms these ugly things into the beauty of art with her incisive and calm writing style.
