旱灾是中国现当代文学创作中的常见题材。文学中的旱灾描述除关注到传统信仰的遗留和新变之外,更多集中在对现实世界的镜像展示:深重的苦难、有限的抗争、对立式的反抗和人性的杂糅。文化流传与历史证言之间的自我选择,使旱灾的"人间性"和写实姿态得以确立。文学于记录、回应时代方面之得,映衬出灾害书写在独立性和多样性层面之失。
Drought is a common writing material in contemporary literature works,in which the description of drought pays attention not only to the traditional belief and constant changes of literal conventions but also to the mirrored reflections to the reality world in severe hardship,insignificant fighting,adversarial revolt and complex humanity.The human nature and realism function of drought writing hasbeen identified on the basis of the self-choice between literal convention and historical evidence.The literature’s achievements in recording and responding to times has set off the loss of drought writing in independence and diversity.
