The Imagination and Construction of the Historical Subjectivity of Farmers in"People's Literature and Art"
"People's Literature and Art"is a type of literature and art that focuses on farmers.Mao Zedong regarded farmers who were originally excluded from modern literary and artistic activities as the main objects of literary and artistic activities,completely changing China's literary and cultural ecology.If we look at the target audience of its enlightenment,namely the workers and farmers,"human literature"has not achieved its goals.The important tasks of"enlightening farmers"and"transforming farmers"that were not completed by"human literature"were gradually realized by"people's literature"."People's Literature and Art"have enabled farmers to transform and update their concepts.To deeply understand"People's Literature and Art",the first step is to understand the new proletarian culture that is different from the modern bourgeois culture,namely the new democratic culture and the socialist culture.In the new democratic stage,the new proletarian culture emphasizes anti imperialism and anti feudalism;In the socialist stage,both"bourgeois culture"and"feudal culture"are regarded as objects of criticism and negation.At this time,"People's Literature and Art"highlighted the process of revolutionary farmers accepting"proletarian consciousness";"People's Literature and Art"endows farmers with new"people's"character.Shaping the image of"new socialist farmers"with proletarian consciousness becomes their important responsibility.
