摘要
农民工题材小说的叙事空间主要集中在城市,而乡村承载着农民工原初生命阶段的印记,刻录着他们“向城求生”的历史动因,是这类小说重要的空间形态。与其他题材的小说相比,农民工题材小说具有浓厚的乡土情结,这一方面表现为乡村生存空间的挤压与剥夺成为农民进城的外部助推力,促动了农民对乡村的反叛与逃离;另一方面表现为农民工对乡村生活的诗意化想象,他们对乡村价值的追寻与眷恋,是他们在遭遇城市不公正待遇后的心灵慰藉。作家常将乡村建构为人性淳朴美好的所在地,而城市则代表着非正义的空间性,城乡二元关系表达揭示了作家城乡空间想象的简单化与表层化。
The narrative space of novels on the theme of migrant workers is mainly concentrated in cities,yet the countryside carries the imprints of their early life stages and records their historical motivation of“seeking survival in the city”,which is an important spatial form of this type of novel.Compared with novels of other genres,novels about migrant workers have a strong sense of rural sentiment.Firstly,it is manifested in the squeezing and deprivation of their rural living space,which is an external driving force for farmers to move to cities and reflects their rebellion and escape from the countryside.Secondly,it is also manifested in migrant workers’poetic imagination of rural life and their yearning for and emotional attachment to rural values,which serves as spiritual solace when facing urban injustices.Writers often construct the countryside as a place where human nature is simple and honest,while the city represents the spatial nature of injustice.The expression of the dual relationship between urban and rural areas reveals the simplification of writers’imagination of urban and rural areas.
