On The Novel Narrative About The Peasant Workers

According to the relationship between the narrative subject and narrative object and the outstanding characteristic, my paper mainly applies the modern novel narrative theory,discusses the ideology, discourse features, narrative modes, sex character, thinking paradigm and emotional characteristics of the peasant-worker novels from multi-angle and multi-layer, discovers its spiritual connotation and artistic expression and forms the entire cognition.The peasant-worker novels are the ones which describe the working living of the peasant-worker from countryside to the city since New Period. These novels occurred in the1980s, developed in the1990s and grew prosperity in the beginning of the new century. The peasant-worker novel narrative is the result of the new ideology, such as the practice theory, the human-oriented thought and the economism. The ideology and the prominent counter-discourse nature of the novel narrative determine the occurrence mechanism and the discourse expression of the peasant-worker novel narrative. The peasant-worker novel narrative spreads out in this tension of the following and violating its ideology.The new features of the peasant-worker novel narrative are the first-person narrative with the peasant-worker as the narrator and the protagonist, the strange land time-space body and the female narrative. The first-person narrative manifests the enhancing of the farmer own literacy and the spirit of independence, becomes the mark of the self-awakening and spiritual liberation of the peasants, and provide the valuable narration subject resource of the peasants for the peasants novels in Chinese new literature history. The strange land time-space body of the novel narrative about the peasant workers shows the oppressive, lacerated and wandering state about the story protagonists in the Social Transformation Period. The female narrative describes the unique female fate which is in the institutional urban-rural opposition in the Reform Era and fully exposes the imperious, gloomy and ugly of the male-centered society. The some works, which describe the new female peasants, show the depth of the female consciousness of the novels about the peasant workers and reluctantly cut into the nature of the times. The novel narrative about the peasant workers has outstanding theatricality. It amplifies contradictory conflict of the peasant-worker living in the crisis situation. The urgent incident-narration and the maximum concealment of the narration voice efficiently strengthen its theatricality.However, the limitation of the novel narrative about the peasant workers is much obvious. The novels about the peasant workers are lack of the deep digging for the spiritual world of the characters. This also restricts its female consciousness and the dramatic effect, makes it basically rest on the sadness narrative and has not it to promote to the height of the tragedy. There are reasons as follow:the novel narrative about the peasant workers is deeply restricted by the "binary opposition" thinking, local complex and un-autonomy thinking. They inhibit the imaginary space and the art discovering of the novel narrative; the complexion of the modernism and the shade of the postmodernism result in difficult value selection and narration anxiety. Thus the novel narrative cannot well undertake the mission of the literature narrative in Transformation Period.The novel narrative about the peasant workers is the transitional literature. However, it much appears the special urban-rural dual social culture forming in1950s. Thus the novel narrative about the peasant workers mainly becomes the identity narrative of the peasant and makes it focus on the unique life existence in Transformation Period. This is the contribution for the Chinese New Literature and shows the unique in world literary history.The novel narrative about the peasant workers is the contradictory body as a facet-to-facet angular error. The analysis and discussion clearly unfolds this existing state. However, despite of the angle of the observation, the sadness runs through the every aspect of the novel narrative about the peasant workers. Thus, the novel narrative about the peasant workers still honest discovers the symptom of the Time Spirit.So far, the novel narrative about the peasant workers has been the artistic exploration of diversification and possessed many excellent novel texts. However, the fictional world of the novel narrative, compared to the abundant real life, is very poor and far from maturation and greatness. The novel narrative about the peasant workers will continue because the peasant-worker living still exists. The novel narrative about the peasant workers must develop in outer and inner world. Perhaps, the splendid time of the novel narrative about the peasant workers is not coming.
