The Discourse Strategies And Its Significance On WangShuo's Novel

Social transformation in China is the key node in the 1980s and 1990s. Under the impact of commodity economy, the concept of cultural consumption intensified. Literature shrine was suddenly fallen from the center to the edge of society and from elite to mass position. The decline of literature has been unavoidable. At this time, a new force suddenly rises and Wang Shuo becomes the one with the metaphorical meaning of cultural symbol.As a literary speaker, Wang Shuo had a heresy voice by degrading himself as the "riffraff to the edge of society. His series of "bigot" novels are gathered a group of cynicism and loafer but without losing the goodness and sincere. They state that I'm a rascal with fearlessness. Known as the ruffian and rogue, they despise authority, scoff society, ridicule de-elitism. In fact, Wang is depicting characters personality in his novels,he constructs the literary discourse system of his own.Wang's basic strategy of literary discourse is to remove ideology, nobility and quintessence. He gave up sermons position from novels and deconstructed of literary meaning from them. He is not a spokesman for literary whereas advocates self-expression. He refuses to grand narratives back to the grassroots. He wryly remarks the falsity of the intellectual. This strategy makes his novels with strong destructiveness. In the words, Wang wields a magic weapon by exaggeration, metaphor, parody and other rhetorical devices to pour ridicule on social injustice and cultural elite. His irony can be divided into three levels:structural irony, situational irony and banter of irony.Wang's greatest significance lies in literary discourse. He broke through the ideological discourse in the bondage of the literary discourse, removed the literature of the endorsement mission to make the literature move towards the common, popular ways. In tales of roving knights and sentimental novel, shallow and commercial trend are avoided. Although wang's novel controversial, he has shown a thought more pure literature attitude at least. If the writer is not the endorsement and literature is not the ideological discourse, sincere self-expression is the essence of literature.However, Wang Shuo's novels do not completely practice the "true expression", the dependence on the market, and the catering to the readers, so that values of his novels fall into the trap of confusing.
