五四时期,“写实主义”作为理论话语为人们普遍接受,但是随着话语环境的变化,30时年代初“写实主义”在话语实践中渐渐被“现实主义”所取代。这一换名看似偶然,实际上它不仅反映了五四写实小说的修辞困境,而且揭示了以鲁迅为代表的左翼小说创作在修辞策略上的重新调整。 During the May 4th Movement, “realism ” was generally accepted as a theoretical discourse, but as the discourse environment changed, the “realism” in the early 1930s was gradually replaced by “realism” in discourse practice . In fact, this name change not only reflects the rhetorical predicament of the May 4th realistic novels, but also reveals the rhetorical strategies of left-wing novels represented by Lu Xun.
