Ways Of Narrating Revolution:A Narrative Study Of Revolutionary Fictions In The 1920s(1926-1930)

Revolutionary fictions in the 1920s were often simplified as "Revolutionary Romanticism" and "Stereotype and Formulism".But behind this seemingly single narrative form lied the complex historical pluralism.The narrative production of revolutionary fictions was not a self-evident historical entity,but an important"discourse practice" that took place in China in the 1920s.There was a deep interaction between the text order and social order,hence the resulting" ideology of form" had a profound impact on the integration of experience,historical writing and the construction of subject identity in modern China.Firstly,the narrative structure of revolutionary fictions had a symbolic one-to-one relationship with revolutionary ideological trend,social contradictions and ideology.Under the stipulations of revolutionary collectivism,the plural narrator"We" gradually replaced the traditional singular narrator "I".The separation of social strata led to the dislocation of narrative communication structure,and the identity of the narrator was uncertain between the intellectuals and the workers and peasants at the bottom.The discourse of revolutionary,virtue replaced social contradictions with narrative of "oppression-resistance" in which nationalist contradictions and class contradictions were symbolically solved in the category of "resistance of the weak"which is "natural legitimacy".Secondly,the narrative mechanism of revolutionary fictions was an important way to construct revolutionary "mythology".The modern publishing industry,which tended to be mature in the late 1920s,enabled revolutionary fictions to be replicated in a large number in the form of popular culture,thus forming an "imagined revolutionary community".Meanwhile,revolutionary fictions used the totality of"revolutionary hero legend",beliefs for revolution produced by "historical inevitability" and the new meaning of "body" code to interpellate and recruit individuals.And it naturalized revolutionary ideology into self-evident "common sense" on the basis of re-structuring the origin of revolution and shaping revolutionary memory,so as to demonstrate the legitimacy of revolution and sublimity.Finally,the time and space of narrative in revolutionary fictions directly confirmed the revolutionary logic of modern China.Although the time hegemony of modernity endowed revolution with great power to crush everything,the paradox of evolutionism caused by it also leads to the fact that revolutionary fictions could not accurately describe what is "a bright future",and ultimately can only choose to establish a large and inappropriate empty utopian.In order to conceal the logical paradox of revolutionary ideology,spatial narrative,which was a "strategy of containment",appeared in the text.And the spatial logic of "repetition" and"ascension" shifted and suppressed the paradox to a certain extent.In addition,the transformation of "rural" public space in the narrative of revolutionary fictions was a metaphor for the revolutionary process of modern China.
