On Contemporary Chinese Sf Realism Literature

This thesis focuses on the research of contemporary Chinese science fiction realism literature,and the core issue is the construction of contemporary Chinese science fiction literature paradigm and the transformation of modern experience presented in contemporary Chinese science fiction realism literature.By sorting out the connotation,definition and characteristics of the core concept of science fiction by contemporary Chinese science fiction writers,combining the theoretical resources related to realism in the history of modern and contemporary Chinese literature and the relevant theoretical discussions in the history of science fiction literature in the world,this paper distinguishes the relationship and differences between science fiction realism literature and the mainstream of realism literature,and explores the internal practice of self-renewal of Chinese science fiction literature.Grasp the appearance and characteristics of its core concepts in contemporary Chinese science fiction,and strive to comprehensively and deeply sort out and discuss contemporary Chinese science fiction realism literature creation concept,text representation,development process and aesthetic style,pointing out that science fiction realism is still the most appropriate theory and creation proposition for summarizing Chinese science fiction literature today.Chapter one to chapter four is a detailed review of the creative ideas and practical representations in the four overall stages of the development of "science fiction realism" in contemporary Chinese science fiction literature.It can be roughly divided into 17 years after the founding of New China(socialist revolution and construction period),the beginning of the new period of reform and opening up and socialist modernization construction(from the late1970 s to the 1990s),the 1990 s to the beginning of the new century,the new century(and since entering the "new era")to the present four time stages.It should be emphasized that,from our point of view,the whole contemporary Chinese science fiction literature(and even the whole Chinese science fiction literature)is a huge and continuous whole,and the boundaries between its four stages are not absolutely clear and definite,but with certain fuzziness and extensibility,while both the historical dimension of the late Qing Dynasty and the future dimension of the new era.In terms of chapter arrangement,Basically,it first discusses the presentation of the creative concept of science fiction realism in this stage,then discusses the main representation of science fiction realism in the theme content,and finally involves its representation in formal issues such as aesthetic style,such as science and technology aesthetics,historical and mythological narration,popularization and typification trends,communication and interpenetration with mainstream literature,etc.We reveal the problem of the multiple representation of "Chineseness" in contemporary Chinese science fiction realism literature.The first chapter points out that the 17 years of science fiction literature creation under the shadow of popular science tool theory should be re-understood.The theory of popular science in the seventeenth year itself is adapted to the socialist realism literature theory,which can be understood as a branch and variant of socialist realism theory,and also inherits Lu Xun’s science fiction creation concept of "science through science and human feeling".The picture of science and technology in the 17 years of science fiction reflects people’s need to get rid of the actual material situation of China which is extremely scarce and backward.At the same time,science and technology,which has become the source of productive forces in the real world but has long been ignored in the field of mainstream literature,is incorporated into the field of realism to describe the practical fraternity of people and the struggle against enemies and nature in the realistic community of socialism.And shaped the image of the new man who would emerge in the future vision of communism.The second chapter is the new period of Chinese science fiction literature after the catastrophe and silence.The characteristics of this period are highlighted in the instrumental theory of popular science,but there have been different degrees of changes in the text.People’s outlook on the role of science in the picture of modernization has long gone beyond the simple popularization,and the blueprint vision of highly developed material living standards is constantly imagined in the text.Another important feature of science fiction realism in this stage is the addition of realistic criticism,which almost did not exist before,and this criticism extends to the worry and criticism of the development prospect of science and technology.The scope of representation of science fiction realism expands on the relationship between human beings and science and technology,and the nature of the universe,which is almost completely beyond the traditional realism,and continues to increase in the later stages of development.The third chapter is about the rise of Wang Jinkang,Liu Cixin and Han Song from the1990 s to the new century.The most prominent feature of this period is the metaphorical representation of the reality of Chinese civilization.In the works of Wang Jinkang and Liu Cixin,this kind of thinking about the real situation is related to the relationship between human beings and the nature of the universe and science.Science and technology is the law of heaven that human civilization must face and follow,and it also brings people a grand and amazing sense of sublimity,which is a realism that surpasses the reality of life,and is also the realism with the most essential features of science fiction.Han Song,on the other hand,writes reality with irrational delirium,seemingly breaking away from the laws of life reality,but it is still realistic in essence,and also enriches the narrative representation and aesthetic style of science fiction realism at this stage.The fourth chapter is about the new century,especially in the name of the new era,the new generation of science fiction writers have keenly captured the survival dilemma and identity anxiety of human beings in the post-modern society,and also endowed the science fiction imagination with humanistic care by means of the richness of regional culture.Behind his writing,the author’s personal life experience,life opportunities and thoughts and feelings are hidden,and it also contains the ideological review and cultural observation of the fundamental issues such as the nation-state construction,the mirror of The Times and the spiritual order under the background of The Times.Various traditional,modern and postmodern cultural symbols are constantly encoded,deconstructed and reorganized in the imaginary text,which refers to and transmits the geographical memory,political discourse,living conditions and realistic anxiety of contemporary Chinese people,prompting us to pay attention to and reflect on the empirical world on which we live.
