文学:不能承受的“介入”之重与“超越”之轻
Literature:The Unbearable Weight of"Engagement "and the Unbearable Lightness of"Transcendence"
【摘要】 文学活动的审美超越品质是其区别于其他人类活动的独特属性,也是它能够有效摆脱世俗桎梏,自由抒写人性、张扬人类良知的根本保证;但文学活动的这种品性在现实伸张的具体历史进程中,又必须获得世俗的接纳,这要求文学活动具备对现实历史的介入功能。超越性和介入性的对立成为文学运动的基本矛盾。偏于"超越",文学超越品性难以得到现实的展开,将无法承受其审美之轻;偏于"介入",文学受各种现实历史条件的左右,难以确保自身的审美品性,亦无法承受意识形态之重。新中国成立六十余年来文学活动的经验与教训可以藉此得到有效的历史检讨和逻辑辨析。
【Abstract】 Aesthetic transcendence is a property unique to literature,which serves not only as a distinctiveness between it and other human activities,but also as a basic guarantee for it to get rid of thebondage of mundane affairs and to freely describe human nature and conscience.On the other hand,however,in the realistic course history,this property must be accepted by society,which requires that literary activity should have a function of engaging in reality.Therefore,the opposition of transcendence to engagement constitutes the basic contradiction in literary movement:"over-transcendence " of aesthetical considerations will make it unacceptably and unbearably light,whereas"over-engagement" will make it unbearably and unacceptably weighty due to various realistic and historical restraints and ideological burden.The experience and the lessons of literary activity in the past 60 more years of New China can be properly examined and analyzed from this perspective.
