摘要: 本文是对80年代曾经轰动一时的长篇小说《晚霞消失的时候》的重读。这篇充满争议的小说提出了一系列在今天看来仍然具有重要意义的理论问题,如理性和感性的关系,文明和野蛮的关系,宗教宽恕与世俗惩罚的关系,等等。作为一个时代有代表性的知识分子群体的代表性作品,《晚霞》依然是值得我们重视的,它体现了七十年代末、八十年代初知青作家思考和书写“文革”时难以摆脱的模式:对具体社会历史问题的抽象化、哲学化、道德化处理。这种模式体现了典型的知青思维,不但在当时的知青文学中很典型,而且在其他“文革”题材小说中也普遍存在,即使在今天也有很大的市场。

关键词: 野蛮, 文明, 理性, 宗教, 宽恕

Abstract: This paper is a reperusal and a reinterpretation of When the Sunset Disappears, a novel sensational in the 1980s. This novel contains a series of theoretic questions which are still significant nowadays, such as the relationships between reason and emotion, civilization and barbarism, religious forgiveness and secular punishment, etc. As a representative work of a representative intellectual group of that period, this novel is still worthy of attention, for it reflects a pattern the "Zhiqing" (Educated Youth) writers cannot break away from when thinking and writing about the Cultural Revolution: abstracting, philosophizing and moralizing specific social and historical problems. This pattern, existing in novels about the Cultural Revolution, as well as typical of "Zhiqing" literature at that time, still prevails even in current thoughts and culture.

Key words: barbarism, civilization, reason, religion, forgiveness
