摘 要
科幻文学是一个舶来的文学类型,在上世纪 80 年代之前,中国的科幻文学一直作为一种功能性的文体被要求发挥着宣传思想、普及科学知识等作用。随后出现的新生代科幻作家的创作丰富了科幻小说的类型和主题,也增加了科幻文学的文化内涵和哲理深度。刘慈欣作为新生代科幻作家的代表之一,以其宏大空灵的想象力给中国科幻带来了新的活力。2015 年 8 月他的科幻小说《三体》(英文版)获得世界级科幻小说最高奖项“雨果奖”,标志着中国科幻小说创作达到了世界先进水平。刘慈欣的科幻小说创作取得如此成绩的原因,在于他以中国文学传统为基础,将西方科幻小说创作经验、现代科学技术的理念与精神以及中国社会历史融为一体,形成了中国当代科幻小说创作的一种特色,探索出一条中国当代科幻小说创作的发展道路。刘慈欣的作品让文学评论界不得不对科幻文学重视起来,但这种重视还不够,毕竟长期以来对科幻文学的忽视以至于相关研究有限,作家只能自己模仿前人进行创作。一个刘慈欣无法撑起整个中国科幻文学,需要更多的作者和更多优秀的作品,也需要更多有针对性和建设性的研究和评论。
本研究共分为三个部分:第一部分,刘慈欣科幻小说的文本分析,探讨支撑他科幻小说成功的文本特点,认为他的创作想象力恢宏、科学态度乐观和形象刻画重物轻人,这些特点让他的小说从其他科幻作品中凸显出来。第二部分,结合刘慈欣创作的阶段性以及中西文学对他的影响,可见其创作特点来源于他秉持现代科学精神,对中国文学传统与西方文学艺术手法积极借鉴和吸收,并在创作过程中不断地尝试与探索,最终形成了自己独特的风格。第三部分,对刘慈欣的科幻小说创作价值进行阐释,其鲜明的“科幻”特色、与市场的结合、引发科幻热特别是成功进入外国科幻界,对今后的科幻小说创作都有很多启示。本文的研究试图为科幻小说创作提供一些借鉴,并为理解中国科幻小说的内涵与特点提供研究成果。
