From Essence to Relationship: The Construction Method of the Subjectivity of Ethnic Minority Fictions and Reflections

(Abstract)

Jin Chunping

As an artistic field with cultural structural conflicts, the Chinese minority fiction has highlighted the characteristics of locality, ethnicity and self-sufficiency in the relation with with “the cultural other.” It takes the “nomadic civilization in frontiers” and “religious heavenly order” as the narrative ontology of its ethnic discourses generally. On this basis, the ethnic minority fiction constructed its literary aesthetic subjectivity through landscape relationalism. Its literary discourse subjectivity is constructed in the aspect of local relationalism, and its literary ideological subjectivity is constructed in the aspect of identity relationalism. The basic construction paradigm of minority fiction as value subjectivity is therefore formed.
