新时期文学创作由朦胧诗、寻根文学到先锋小说,形式技巧的变革越来越显得突出,但始终没有上升到本体论的地位。而一部分新生代、新人类作家,受后现代理论蛊惑,使文体革命逐步走向唯形式主义乃至反形式主义的死胡同,作品弥漫着颓废主义的精神气息。由此,文坛呼唤新的理性精神也就势在必行。
Developing through the Obscure Poetry, the Root-seeking Literature, till the Pioneer Novels, new-era literature has changed prominently in formal skills, but has never risen to the ontological status. Instead, a part of the new generation and new human writers, bewitched by postmodem theory, has made the revolution of styles gradually walk into the dead end of unique formalism or anti-formalism, and as a result, the works are filled with the spirit of decadent atmosphere. Thus, the call for a new literary rational spirit is imperative.
