“向内转”与“个人化写作”是 90年代文学发展引人注目的现象 ,两者有相似之处 ,但在本质上的区别却是明显的。“向内转”体现了文学真正向自身本质特征回归的努力 ,对文学的发展具有积极的意义 ,使文学创作更具有主体性和个性。“个人化写作”与“内向化”有某种承续关系 ,但过于沉溺于现实界的物欲感受之中 ,其负面阴影不可视而不见。 “Turn in” and “personal writing” are the notable phenomena in the development of literature in the 90s. They have similarities, but the essential difference is obvious. The “inward turning” embodies the efforts of literature to return to its own essential characteristics, has positive significance to the development of literature, and makes literature creation more subjective and individualistic. There is a certain relationship between “personal writing” and “introversion”, but it is too indulgent in the materialistic feelings of the real world. The negative shadow can not be ignored.
