摘要
曹征路是当代底层文学的代表作家之一。他以知识分子的自觉意识介入现实,恢复文学批判功能,体现出富有历史关怀的新左翼精神。本文以《那儿》《霓虹》《问苍茫》为中心,探讨他的底层叙事如何展现知识分子的担当与责任。曹征路既体察知识分子的精神困境与底层化现实,又关注底层大众的思想启蒙。与渲染苦难的底层叙事不同,他以批判现实、突破遮蔽的话语揭示底层个体的身份困境、生存困境和精神困境,试图在困境突围中寻求文学疗愈的可能。

Abstract
Cao Zhenglu is one of the representative writer of contemporary Chinese subaltern literature. With the self-conscious awareness of an intellectual, he engages with reality, restores the critical function of literature, and embodies a New Leftist spirit imbued with historical concern. Focusing on his novellas There, Neon Lights, and Questioning the Vast Land, this paper explores how his subaltern narratives demonstrate the commitment and responsibility of intellectuals. Cao Zhenglu not only perceives the spiritual predicaments and the subalternized reality of intellectuals, but also attends to the ideological enlightenment of the subaltern masses. Unlike those subaltern narratives that merely accentuate suffering, he employs a discourse that critically engages with reality and breaks through obscurations to reveal the identity predicaments, existential predicaments, and spiritual predicaments of subaltern individuals, seeking the possibility of literary healing in the process of breaking through these predicaments.
Key words: Cao Zhenglu; Subaltern narrative; Engagement with reality; Critical stance of intellectuals; Triple predicaments
