西方“他者”视角下的中国作家阎连科

Abstract

Having won some literature prizes overseas, chinese writer Yan Lianke is one of the contemporary writers who have received much attention after Mo Yan. His popularity overseas not only lies in the aesthetic features in his works, including the sensitivity of the subject matter, the absurdity of writing skills and strong humanities, but also relates to the Western discourse hegemony formed over a long time. According to the discourse power theory of French philosopher Michel Foucault, the western dominant culture established a power discourse of “the world literature” through a series of awarding and awarding rules, screening and evaluating writers from other cultures, including the Chinese. This selective mechanism was accepted voluntarily, For Chinese literature, this standard is presented as anti-system political writing, repressed human nature, Oriental magic expression and so on. In order to lead Chinese contemporary literature to become global continually, we should reflect on this situation, Send out the voice of China，Express Chinese Aesthetics，change our stereotype on the west and develop a new aesthetic value. From the aesthetic law of literature, we’ll find some rules of “the world literature”, Literary writing of any country must transcend the reality, subvert the mainstream value in the literary world, develop a new aesthetic value and speculative space. It will become an independent school on the stage of world literature.
