Rise To The Surface:the Naming Of "misty Poetry" And Its Related Problems

As the core link of literary activities,"literary naming" has deeply participated in the diachronic development process of every literary phenomenon since its birth.Make a general observation of the "naming" of literary trends and schools since the new period,it can be seen that they largely undertake the function of representing the discourse of The Times and highlighting the ideology.Only in this state of "cultural rhetoric" can the object phenomena under these naming produce unique "naming value" and "historical implication".Therefore,it is necessary to examine the intertwining relationship between "literary naming" and various discourse powers in the new era,and explore the ways in which it is selected and produced by various forces and institutional structures."Misty Poetry" used to be a phenomenal literary trend of thought and school in the 1980 s,but its "naming" was repeatedly questioned and discussed by the academic circle in the following decades because of the special social context and the anxiety of literary reconstruction in the transition period.Therefore,this paper will focus on the naming of "misty poetry",examining it as a kind of connotation and denotation have not been clearly defined "literature naming",how to use of the internal poetic logic self-consistent,the spread of the outer race of historical discourse and literary history,become literary classics finally.At the same time,the paper will also discuss the derivation problems caused by the fuzziness and boundary crossing of the name of "misty poetry" after its establishment,and take this as a starting point to reflect on the current "literary naming fever".The literature review and introduction part of this paper firstly sorts out the research status of "misty poetry" and the current state of "literary naming",focuses on explaining the main ideas,types and influencing factors of "literary naming",and points out the possible problems after the apparent prosperity of "literary naming".The first chapter focuses on the historical changes and generation of the nomenclature of "misty poetry" based on the achievements of the previous history of "misty poetry",and makes a chronological combing.Dated from the "underground literature" or "potential" literature which include the early literary group,rural educated youth literature and urban art salon group,to the poet group "today" which rising to the historic surface,then to the period of "misty debate" in 1980 s,when the name of "misty poetry" is put forward and preliminary established.The emergence of this naming is not only an occasional accident,what behind is actually full of historical accumulation.The second chapter mainly analyzes how the naming of "misty poetry" establishes a reasonable discourse field for its own existence from both internal and external dimensions.On the one hand,the overall feature of defining a school of poetry with "obscurity" inherits the classical tradition of "poetry is precious and implicit" and the modernist tradition of new poetry,it has self-consistent poetics logic.On the other hand,in the context of special era,it is been used as a strategic weapon,for those intellectual elite who is committed to the reconstruction of literary order and strive for the center position of literary.In their interpretation and defense,"misty" consistent with the overall trend of social change,thus obtained the legitimate living space,leaves room for its canonical.The third chapter analyzes the academic communication acceptance represented by poetic criticism and literary history writing,the popular communication acceptance represented by anthologies,periodicals,poetry awards and poetry events,as well as the literary communication operation jointly carried out by "misty poets" through setting up the image of "illuminator" and writing memoirs.They are the main way for the naming of "misty poetry" to be widely accepted and recognized,and finally to realize the canonization.The fourth chapter reflects on the problems caused by the establishment of the name of "misty poetry".First of all,the ambiguity of the naming connotation and extension of "misty poetry" leads to the situation of "excessive naming",squeezing the living space of the same poetry,especially the rich connotation of "underground literature" and "the third generation of poetry".Secondly,the continuation of the legitimacy of "misty poetry" is largely supported by ideological factors,but it also causes counterattack to it.There are a large number of external factors weighing the recognition of the poet group and classic works,which leads to the concealment of the true appearance of "misty poetry".Finally,because of the "misty poetry" in terms of naming,concepts,and genre of existing many problems has not been solved,the controversy around it has never ceased,makes creators which regarded as representative poet of "misty poetry" being very wobbly about their identity,most of them anxious to draw a line between "misty poetry" and themselves,and deny belonging to the genre.Epilogue part of the full text is summarized and discussed by the names of "misty poetry" anxiety extends to the reflection of "literature naming",points out that the surface of the "naming boom" but is a kind of the cacophony of lack of order.It hides the loss of our abilities and psychological anxiety when we face the complex literature situation in the new period,So the "nameing boom" it’s essentially the lack of humanity spirit.Therefore,any "literary naming" needs time to cool and wash,to avoid falling into the "multi-party competition" and "self-directed and self-acting" embarrassing situation.
