Chinese Red Revolution Narration(CRRN)is a concept of "Family",which includes the "Left-Wing Revolutionary Literature", "Literature in the Liberated Areas","Literature in New China." This dissertation attempts to put a clear interpretation on the formation of the Red Revolution Narration in China from different perspectives of culture,politics,philosophy,sociology and the evolution of literary trends,etc.By comparision,Chapter One makes a phenomenological anlysis of culture context of the formation of CRRN and discusses the influence of "May,4thEnlightenment literature","Japanese -Soviet Proletarian literature","Mao Zedong's Speech" on the formation of CRRN.The author puts forward that "May,4thEnlightenment Literature",typical chinese charateristics,"Western-oriented" as well as "deviation from the West",gave birth to the possibility of the formation of CRRN.Patriarchal "Japanese -Soviet Proletarian Literature" directly leaded to the occurrence of "Left-Wing Revolution Literature "in China.The publication of Mao Zedong's Speech standardized and reorganized the Literature in the Liberated Areas,which gave a good foundation for the formation and improvement of CRRN,and even its surpassing"May,4th Enlightenment Literature" and the cultural aesthetic formation of western literature,and the establishment of a new form of literature with new concept and style with typical Chinese Characteristics.Chapter Two makes a thorough inquiry about the formation of class literary viewpoint.To begin with,the author attempts to explore and reorganize the formation of the concepts of the class,class awareness and class narrative;puts forwards that the literary viewpoint on " Class Weapon" attaches great importance to classifying artistic as an ideology dynamic role,which aims at seeking for an appropriate role in the society in accord with the community standards of self-identity confirmed road for the role of the initiative and its social values.The Party's perspective of literature is the pratice of the Party's arts policy,which symbolizes that literature has been comprehensively infiltratred by the Political Party ethics,contributes to the shift of CRRN from "Proletarian Literature and Art" to " Farmers Artistic".Meanwhile,the author also points out that from the perspective of the class,the expression of Class Struggle has completely become logic narration with Red Revolutionary nature. Collectiveism has overstepped its authority and held back the individual consciousness,caused individualism and individual liberation themes rarely confidently to appear in the field of CRRN,which,to some extent, is an alienation and regret.Chapter Three focuses on discussing the establishment of the image ot"historical subject" in CRRN.The author proposes that to portray historical mainstay is the pillar of the construction of class narration. Actually,the mass workers and farmers in China,as the historical mainstay,began to hold a dominant position in Chinese history with the help of some Chinese learned people's giving the name.By expressing imaginatively that Chinese workers and farmers held a main position in the course of Chinese revolution,these people tried to reveal the uniqueness of Chinese Proletariat Revolution---the feasibility of mass Chinese farmers' being in existence as the mainstay of Chinese Revolution.First of all,based on Rawls' principles of justice and ethic, the author points out that the mass Chinese workers and farmers are the justice and ethical carriers invented by Left-Wing writers.Besides,the author raises a point that the "new images" in the Liberated Areas is an unique code mode mingled by an ideology and political practice.To portray the "new images" is originated from the author's strong conviction of the truth of Marxist ideology and the continuation of enlightment ideals from May,4thMovement,which reflects the creative class literary writing ideas,and creats a sense of polical necessity in debt consciousness.In addition,the author advances that the mass workers and farmers,as "historical mainstay",are consistently being constructed, rather than being constructors.In this sense,Zhao Shuli's "farmerized" narration beyond the class has found its far-reaching historical significance.Chapter Four maily discusses the identity confirmation of the narrative subject.The author puts forward that,as narrative subjects,the Left—Wing writers attempt to confirm their discourse position through the molding of "historical subject in expectation" and the creating of "Revolutionary Love" novel model.The author believes that denying the individualism of "May,4th,Movement" has something to do with Left—Wing writers's infatuation with the superiority of the proletariats' life view on the world and their self-consciousness.Besides,according to Gramsci's theory of traditional and organic intellectuals,this chapter analyzes the transformational process and its deep root of the writers' changing into "singers of the red cause" in Liberated Areas.What's more, the author raises the following points:firstly,the formation of intellectuals' organic indentity is facilitated by educational assimilation such as "purification" and "combination" and mandatory taming mechanism and methods;secondly,the red singers' indentity confirmation is,to a great extent,out of the writers' internal truthful moral awareness and the result of complex of "sacred place";thirdly,the intention of intellectuals' self—empowerment is reflected,that is,it aims at correcting and supplementing helpless reality in the nation-wide anti-Japanese war situation;forthly,the "Public Servicemen" identity causes Yan'an writers to rely on a system,hence the writers' admonishment and remoulding actually being the result of conspiration between writers and party politics.Chapter Five probes into the aesthetic established practice of revolutionary narration.The expressing patterns of Pan—class narrative scheme and farmers'hilarity,which in fact is ideologicalization of "farmers' ideology",is alienated from the true farmers' writing.As an organized literary producing way,collective writing is the best "democratic" method to guarantee the infiltration of the Party's authoritative utterances into literary creation as well as forceful protection of author's individuality becoming the society and class personality, which in fact declares the essence of literary writing and its political party tendency under the control of Party's authoritative ideology.This disserrtation proposes that political characteristics with class nature should be the greatest feature of CRRN,and literature is not its ultimate pursuit.Therefore,the author believes that the development of Chinese literature should clear up the nature of literature in severval aspects,such as in politcs,contemporary and transcendence.
