“五四”以后,现代文学被逐步纳入民族国家的文化生产空间。作为国族动员的对象,读者的力量与功能获得与古代文学不同的新的论证与叙述。这种叙述表现在,左翼文学中读者概念的内涵与外延开始发生现代性转移,逐渐从被启蒙的“大众”上升为历史主体阶级“群众”。从“革命文学论争”到左联,从《讲话》到“泛延安化”时期,概念的转移赋予了读者前所未有的意识形态资源,亦暗示了读者文学角色及功能的置换。 After the May 4th Movement, modern literature was gradually incorporated into the cultural production space of the nation-state. As the object of national mobilization, the reader’s power and function gain new arguments and narratives different from those of ancient literature. This narrative manifests itself in that the connotation and denotation of the concept of readers in left-wing literature begin to shift from modernity to gradual rise from the enlightened “mass ” to the historical class “masses ”. From the “Revolutionary Literary Argument” to the period of the League of Leftists and from the “speech” to the “Pan Yan Anhua” period, the transfer of concepts gives readers an unprecedented source of ideological resources and also implies the replacement of readers’ roles and functions in literature.
