Revolution,Politics and the Avant-Garde——On the Turn of Chinese Contemporary Literary Thought of Avant-Garde

Since 1990s,particularly in 21st century,the Chinese literary thought of avant-garde has experienced a new remarkable turn,namely,to interpret avant-gardeness of literature in view ofrevolutionarinessandpoliticalness.This turn is worth noticing,because it concerns with re-evaluation of Chinese literature in 20th century,even with issue of development of Chinese literature.In western literature tradition,due to literary tradition that exerts its influence in an obscure way,the literature as a whole does not turn to otherwise,even though some of literary schools embrace politics.However,in a context in which thepoliticalnessis more important than theliterariness,the contemporary Chinese literature will again fall into a position of dependency of politics and revolution,if the revolutionarinessand politicalnesscompletely replace literary autonomy.
