Calling The Specter Back At The Disintegrating Moment:Dialectic Of Literature In The Era Of China’s Economic Reform

Since Na’er(by Cao Zhenglu)was issued in 2004,a sharp dispute focusing on the work by critics and scholars has indicate a trend that scholars were likely to retrospect and re-understand the history of academic researching and ideas.Undoubtedly,Na’er was a turning point of thinking that aroused the retrospection though which scholars began to modulate their cognizance on reality.Once it intervened the retrospection on history,Na’er as a literature text then transcended the category of literature issue and interlinked straight with a new condition of itself regarded as a issue of reality.That meant,Not only to represent the reality but furthermore,Na’er would rather intervene the real life and so that participate in the integration process of history progress.Therefore,Na’er,which as a text functioning between the issue of literature and of reality,was endued a character entitled the social attribute that implying the tension of history progress.The social attribute has constructed a Logos of Dialectic,which isomorphically kindred with the external history progress,that embedded in the story texture of Na’er so that made it possible for Na’er to confront the issue of literature with a dialectical stance of reflexivity.With the reflexivity,it is also possible that Na’er would bring an innovation for the contemporary literature realm of which the vitality was in a crisis of fading away.That is what entitled Dialectic of Literature deducing by Na’er in history progress.In the interest of academic research into Dialectic of Literature of which the significance in terms of a turning point of literature history,it is necessary to adopt a method that different from the normal aesthetic analysis,and then by force of the discovery of analyzing the literature texture of Na’er so that the meaning on history of Na’er as a issue of reality could be revealed——an Atlas of History Progress in terms of Social History which embedded in the story texture of Na’er and performed as a complex of present history that containing the condition of existence and of movement.Start with this pattern of awareness on academic issue,this paper will come to resort to the method of thinking which named Perspective of Social History that abiding by a total research framework outlined as “the issue of literature----the issue of reality----depth of history----the issue of literature” and concentrating on the four key categories of issues illustrated like “Dynamic Operation of History”,“the Experience and Consciousness on Reality”,“the Basis of Meaning on Value”,“the Dialectical Movement of Spirit”.Next,by taking use of the expressing pattern of Thick Description(as Clifford Geertz’s named),this paper then will take on an academic research in the paradigm of “social history/ sociology/ spiritual history” into the story texture of Na’er in order to retrace,seize,describe,understand,illustrate,estimate the condition of social history interlinked by the story of Na’er,through which leading to the conclusion of this paper: As a text that functioning between the issue of literature and of reality,Na’er has been storing the history potential energy so that it as an event of literature will intend to bring about an breakthrough and deep innovation on the overall thought paradigm of Chinese contemporary literature.
