摘要
后现代主义是 2 0世纪下半叶西方主要文学潮流之一。它于 5 0年代起步 ,六七十年代达到全盛期 ,80年代开始衰落。后现代主义文学在思想内容上倾向于悲观主义与虚无哲学 ,在艺术形式上追求打破常规 ,标新立异。由此 ,它在整体上呈现出平淡感 ,不确定性与荒诞性。后现代主义文学是二战后西方社会、经济、文化条件的必然产物。此外 ,后现代主义文学有着极强的两面性。一方面它在思想内容上有明显缺陷 ;另一方面它在形式革新中创造出许多有益的东西 。
Postmodernism is one of the main literary schools in the second half of the 20th century in the west. Originated in the 50s,it reached its prime in the 60s and 70s, and began to decline in the 80s. Thematically, postmodernist literature is inclinde to pessimism and nihilistic philosophy, and formally it tends to be unconventional and novel. Generally speaking, it is characterized by senses of shallowness, uncertainty, and absurdity. Postmodernism is the unavoidable product of the social,cultural and economic conditions in the west after World War Ⅱ. Though defective in thematic contents, it helped expand literary expression with its artistic experimentation.
