Revolutionary Government And The Construction Of Writers' Subjectivity

Ding Ling is a radical writer who left Shanghai for Yan'an in early days. She takes the revolutionary work assigned by the government of Communist Party, and gradually adapts herself to collective life, then establishes a relationship with the underclass, which make her subjectivity change voluntarily. But Ding Ling keeps a realist critique to the deficiencies of the revolutionary government independently, and starts an autocriticism and self-remolding on her own initiative, when the contact between individual and organization become closer. It produces a double-negative attitude of writer's subjectivity, which is clearly reflected by her works. On the other aspect, Ding Ling does not ignore the female experience for her devotion to revolutionary government. The dilemma between the new regime which established and matured during China's Anti-Japanese War and feminist narrative discourse pushes the construction of writer's subjectivity to a more complicated dimension.With the start of Yan'an Forum on Literature and Art, Ding Ling waive the particular construction . She accepts the discourse of Mao on modern development, thus take a subjective change via self-innovation again. Thus, the negative gesture and complicated tensility of emotions given by her early works is demolished after gaining a new discourse refer to subjectivity.
