摘要
"进步"一词本身是指科学技术上的不断发展。中国传统文学中的"进步"通常是指反对"复古",提倡一代有一代的文学的"新变"观念。而现代文学中的"进步"则是在进化论基础上的一种演进观念。这些更多的是一种时间上的线性前进的观念。建国后文学"进步"的内涵则主要是指"人民群众"的文学、"革命"的文学、"无产阶级"的文学与"现实主义"的文学等,与此相对的就是落后的文学。"进步"的内涵主要是指政治上的进步,从纵向的时间进步走向了横向的理念进步。文学本身的丰富性与这一时期进步观的单一性之间的矛盾,体制内文学政治话语权的直接转化,这些造成了"十七年"时期文学自由创造空间的相对狭小,对文学的多样性、丰富性产生了一定程度的束缚。这种"进步观"有时代的必然性,但也有值得反思的地方。
In the field of pre-modern Chinese literature, progress usually referred to the countercurrent of the revival of the ancient styles or practice and it often came with the claim that each era should have a literature with its own new spirit. The concept of progress in modern literature, however, was developed fundamentally with Darwin's evolutionism, which in literary studies displayed a temporal linear development. After the establishment of the People's Republic of China, the idea of progress in literature implies the literature which serves the masses and the revolution, with a proletariat ideology and a realistic approach. Progress, therefore, refers mainly to the ideological aspect while the temporal linearity of progress becomes a horizontal advancement of ideas. The conflict between the richness of literature and the mono-dimension of progress, together with the direct conversion of political discursive power within the institution of literature, leaves little space for the freedom of literary creation and binds the variety and richness of literature in the Seventeen-Year Period ( 1949 - 1966). While the idea of progress in this period has its necessity, it leaves much for academic reflection.
