摘要

据说在2000 + 20年，文学抛弃了深度而选择了表面;至少在传统浅薄的“新世界”社会中是如此。从美国，我们听到时代的标志是“对现实的饥渴”，一种不是探索的审美，而是情感的审美;没有复杂的情节，而是没有情节的结构;事实掩盖了想象。如果严肃小说的销量被非小说类、类型小说和自助类书籍所超越，那么“小说的回应”可能是什么?我转向小说的少数形式——诗歌——来问:诗歌是否暗示了小说的回应与社会之间的一种契约?

The Story of an Anthology: “Conjunctures in a Disjunctive Society?”

It is said that in the years 2000 + 20, literature has rejected depth for surface; at least in ‘New World’ societies of shallow tradition. From the United States, we hear that the sign of the times is “reality hunger”, an aesthetic not of exploration, but of affect; a structure not of intricate plot, but of plotlessness; of facts that eclipse imagination. If serious fiction is outsold by nonfiction, genre fiction and self-help books, what might be ‘fiction's response’? I turn to the minority form of the fictional repertoire – poetry – to ask: might poetry suggest a contract between fiction's response and the society?

期刊介绍： Current Writing: Text and Reception in Southern Africa is published bi-annually by Routledge. Current Writing focuses on recent writing and re-publication of texts on southern African and (from a ''southern'' perspective) commonwealth and/or postcolonial literature and literary-culture. Works of the past and near-past must be assessed and evaluated through the lens of current reception. Submissions are double-blind peer-reviewed by at least two referees of international stature in the field. The journal is accredited with the South African Department of Higher Education and Training.
