摘　　要：本文认为 ,长篇小说作为现代性的产物 ,以其宏大的建制表现宏大的内容 ,从而赋予历史与现实存在的形式和内在意义。我国新时期以来的长篇小说因为宏大历史背景的缩减而逐步走向个人经验 ,但人们并不满意也不愿承受这种变化 ,而是一再寻求深刻宏大的思想内涵重新降临于长篇小说。这表明当代长篇小说的艺术创新能量不够充足。只有破除这种叙事模式的束缚 ,当代长篇小说才可能在后现代美学空间里获取更有活力的表现方式 ,找到一条更具有多元美学品质的、与时俱进的创新之路。As a product of modernity, the novel has given physical existence and immanent significance to the history and the present with its grand form and its magnificent content. Owing to the disappearing of macro historical context, the Chinese novel developed since the New Era has gradually moved toward focusing on personal experience. But people are neither satisfied with nor willing to accept this change, and consistently searching for profound and magnificent meanings in the novel. This indicates that the contemporary novel is not artistically creative and still trammeled by the conventional form of narrative. Only by breaking through this form of narrative can the contemporary novel gain its more vital expression in the post-modern aesthetic context and find a way to originality and multiple-layered quality of art.
