"数量"的丰收与"质量"的期许--2004年中国儿童文学中的"小说创作"述评

论文按“长篇小说”、“中篇小说”和“短篇小说”的分类,全面考察了2004年中国儿童文学中的小说创作状貌。发现了本年度小说创作的新质,即众多作家、作品激活了少年儿童文学出版市场;大多数作家深入观察写作对象/阅读主体的生活情状,文本的当下感、现场感增强;快乐、幽默、睿智、张扬个性等理念融入创作实践;关注“平凡的大多数”等。指出创作中存在的不足,即关注成长的内在动因不够;恶劣的“无性成长”生态仍未得到“综合治理”;刻意的幽默、过分的调侃、恶俗的搞笑,伤害了文学的神圣性、庄重性和诗意栖居;文本中急需涤荡“孩子气”与“娃娃腔”;作家理论素养的贫血,仅靠才气写作,凭经验、惯性写作等。力求对本年度的小说创作予以全面、客观、公允、准确的评说,为阅读、创作提供一些有益的辅助。
