无效的自救——《星火》月刊的漩涡里外

1935年,自称“第三种人”的杜衡、韩侍桁、杨邮人等作家与左翼之间不断发生争论并趋于对立,其在文坛的生存境况也逐渐艰难。在这种情况下,他们成立星火文艺社并出版《星火》月刊,用重述自己的文艺理论和与鲁迅等左翼人士互相攻讦等方式,力图引起文坛的关注,改变自身在文坛的不利局面,但是这些自救的努力并没有取得这些“第三种人”集团成员自己预期的效果。

Fruitless Self-retrieval the Dispute over the Spark Monthly Journal

In 1935, writers Du Heng, Han Shiheng and Yang Cunren--＂the third category of persons＂, disputed with the Left-wing and their opposition made it hard for them to exist in the literary world. Such being the case, they founded the ＂Spark＂ Literary Society and published the Spark Monthly journal, in which they reelaborated their literary theory and attacked the Left-wing in order to arouse others＇ attention and change their own unfavorable situation. However, these efforts failed to attain the results they had expected. This paper aims to reveal the complicated literary ecology of the Spark Monthly to provide the readers with a direct impression, which is useful for the reappraisal of＂the third category of persons＂.
