  • 先锋诗歌的转折

    by 贾鉴 ...
    Series series 述而批评系列第二辑
    先锋派在今天的一个重要使命就是:穿越历史之雾,使自己重新成为那个陌生人。八十年代末九十年代初,激烈的历史转折带来社会意识的深刻改变。在诗歌领域,宏大的文化想象黯淡了,众多诗人所持有的新诗学概念,写作中主题和内容的重心调整,语言技艺的更精微磨砺,这些变化积累到九十年代后半期,终于凝结成“九十年代诗歌”概念。本书主要聚焦中国先锋诗歌在八九十年代间的演变与九十年代诗歌的两种精神面相。作者从寻根诗和海子的文化史诗开始,探讨了诗歌如何通过改造“传统”概念来传达文化反思。继而又以王家新、欧阳江河、多多、韩东、于坚、臧棣、张枣、肖开愚等人的诗作为例,重新反思有关“纯诗/纯文学”问题,描述九十年代诗歌的“叙事”转向。作者意在探究八九十年代先锋诗歌的转换和分化过程,也更关注诗歌意识在两个时代既相异又汇通的踪迹。 ...
