在二十世纪四十年代的战争背景下,中国现代小说理论开始了其对小说“民族化”的关注。尽管此时期一 些小说理论家对“民族化”问题有过较深入的探讨,但战争的持久性,尤其是意识形态的强力召唤,使得绝大多数理 论家对小说的“民族化”作通俗化和大众化的理解。这就使战时小说理论对“民族化”的强调陷入了革命功利性的误 区。与此相对照的是,徘徊于意识形态之外的理论家却表现出了深邃的理论眼光和睿智的价值取向。 Under the background of the 1940s, the theory of modern Chinese novels began its concern about the “nationalization” of the novel. Although some novel theorists in this period had a more in-depth discussion on the issue of “nationalization,” the persistence of the war, especially the powerful call of ideology, caused the overwhelming majority of theorists to popularize the “nationalization” of the novel And popular understanding. This puts the emphasis on “nationalization” in wartime novel theory into the misunderstanding of revolutionary utilitarianism. In contrast, theorists hovering beyond ideology have shown profound theoretical and intellectual values.
