摘要: 晚近中国文坛兴起的各类地方性写作,存在概念泛化、简单扩容和画地为牢的问题。地方性应是作家与生俱来的文化基因,无须刻意标榜和提倡。在当今的世界文学时代,中国小说若要获得更广泛的国际认同,关键在于强化“世界性”而非“地方性”。世界性体现在对人类普遍情感和命运的共同关切上。中国作家应进行一种“去地方化”的实践,超越地域标签的局限,积极拥抱具有普遍意义的文学主题,真正汇入世界文学的潮流。

Abstract: The various kinds of local writing that have emerged in the recent Chinese literary scene suffer from problems such as conceptual overgeneralization, simplistic expansion, and self-confinement. Locality should be an inherent cultural gene of a writer, something that needs no deliberate flaunting or promotion. In the current era of world literature, if Chinese fiction is to gain broader international recognition, the key lies in strengthening “universality” rather than “locality”. Universality is embodied in the shared concern for universal human emotions and destiny. Chinese writers should undertake a practice of “de-localization”, transcending the limitations of regional labels, actively embracing literary themes of universal significance, and truly merging into the current of world literature.

Key words: contemporary fiction, world literature, locality, universality, de-localization
