摘要：

“新东北文学”揭示了“东北问题”背后历史经验与转型记忆的深层面向，已成为理解中国转型期知识生产的重要文化现象。本文以文学社会学的视角探讨新东北文学的社会意涵，揭示其与转型期主体精神世界之间的关联。本文指出，新东北文学中的阶级经验书写，正是其能够超越地域限制并引发广泛共鸣的核心所在。这种书写并非仅限于工人家庭内部“子一代”对“父一代”尊严的重建，而是在阶级话语重构的转型语境中，加入当代阶级经验的再表述与再感知，进而激发出一种以阶级变动、焦虑与不确定性为核心的跨代际的情感共鸣。本文由此揭示文学在社会转型中建构集体记忆、引发公共反思的功能，以及转型期个体在不确定性中对自我价值与认同的多重探索。

Abstract:

"New Northeast Literature" has revealed the profound dimension of historical experience and transitional memory underlying the so-called "Northeast problem", emerging as a vital cultural lens for understanding knowledge production during China's transitional era. This paper explores the social implications of New Northeast Literature from a sociology of literature perspective, uncovering its connection to the subjective world of individuals navigating social transition. It argues that the representation of class experiences constitutes the core through which this literary phenomenon transcends its regional origins and evokes broad social resonance. Such representations go beyond the restoration of dignity of the "father's generation" by the "son's generation" within working-class families. Rather, they re-articulate and re-perceive class experience within the shifting discourse of class, sparking intergenerational affective resonance around themes of class mobility, anxiety, and uncertainty. Drawing on their own life upbringing experience, the writers born in the 1980s translate familial memories of class experience into tangible literary language, transforming personal trauma into an embrace of working-class ethics and a nostalgic yet distanced reminiscence of the revolutionary idealism. As contemporary youth confront the anxiety arising from class solidification and unstable class identity, they find an implicit yet pervasive emotional resonance with the "class faller" figures depicted in New Northeast Literature—a resonance deeply rooted in their lived experience of accelerated social transformation and the loosening of identity hierarchies. Ultimately, the paper reveals literature's role as a medium of collective memory and public reflection in times of social transition, underscoring the multifaceted ways individuals navigate self-worth and identity amid structural uncertainty.
