This dissertation tries to research the link between the construction of discoursereality and the new literature, discuss the historical track of Literature narrative duringnew period from the discourse and genealogical perspective. This dissertation pointsout that there is a direct relation between the appearance, construction and meaninggeneration of the new literature and the reality of Theoretical discourse. The discourseconstruction of reality of different literature in different times contains the conversionof literature rule, the understanding of political standard, the change of cultural fieldand the choice of narrative skill. It will reveal the mental outline of the historicalchange of literature if we understand the historical construction of discourse reality.The first chapter mainly discusses the relationship between the political cultureand the reality of discourse construction, and the cure function of scar literature’sreality of discourse construction. The paper believes that there is an importantrelationship between the origin and the acquisition of its legality of new literature andthe reality of discourse reconstruction. In order to liquidate the “deceive and cheat” ofthe “conspiracy literature” after the “cultural revolution”, theory circle excavated the"writing true" view which had been suppressed and prohibited. The new literatureconfirms the relation between reality and literature, literature and politics, andproduces abundantly the reality of discourse and establishes quickly the legitimacy ofnew literary by identifying the literature false of the Cultural Revolution. Theimpaction of Political culture on the reality of discourse which makes the politicalstandards of early literature in new period transformed into the standard of reality. Thepolitical energy of reality of discourse which is invisible and huge has a controlfunction for scar literature.The second chapter explores the attempt of the human nature discourse to obtainits own legality from constant interpreting, integrating, probing, shifting, andattacking of the reality discourse amid the prosperity of humanism. It challenges thecentral role of the reality discourse that implies power on the basis of four inquiries:“the change of human as a tool to human as the aim”,“the shift from ‘human’s life’ to‘human’”,“the slanting of essence of living towards essence of human”, and “the leapfrom objective reproduction to subjective expression, so as to elevate the role ofhuman as the subject and to restore the power of human nature discourse.The third chapter elaborates on the changing process of the reality field inseeking origin literature from reality criticism to cultural reflection and the path onwhich the existence of this field relies. The paper argues that the methods of cognitionand imaging are further explored when the seeking origin literature frees the “reality”of literature from the vulgar social reflection. The relocation of reality to the level ofculture grants writes a new approach of observation and another perspective ofjudgment, and thus enriches the contents and methods of expression in literature.The fourth chapter is focused on the process of dissection of the reality discourseof realism caused by the concept of reality in pioneering literature and its accelerationof the active art revolution started by the pioneer school. The thesis suggests that thepioneer literature challenges the reality discourse system of realism with “virtualreality”,“spiritual reality” and “linguistic reality”, which lead the pioneer literaturetowards three narrative styles: meta-fiction narrative, mystification narrative, anddehumanization narrative. This concept of reality dissects itself while fighting againstthe reality discourse of realism. The fifth chapter discusses the return of new realism to the family of realisticliterature. Reinterpreting realism through emphasis on living reality and resistance toartistic reality, new realistic novels believe that artistic reality covers living reality andattempt to eliminate the assumed “essence” forced upon living reality, especially the“essence” that is selectively processed with ideological discourse. Therefore, it seeksto display the “verbatim reality” with “zero emotion”, featured by anti-typifyingaesthetics. Meanwhile, the “micro reality” of new realistic novels constitutes ofanti-political “politics”, i.e. the co-existence of an agreement with everyday livingregulated by micro power in the actual text and an objection to the macro politicalconstraint on literature discourse in general.
