被稱之為中國大陸兒童文學世紀日出的兒童幻想小說在中國大陸兒童文學界逐步興起產生,對它的研究與探討,具有著巨大的現實價值和深刻的實踐意義。本文旨在對兒童幻想小說基本的美學特徵進行梳理與闡釋,試圖確立起明晰的文體認識,確認兒童幻想小說作為一種獨立的、有別於童話文體的存在,把握這種文學樣式的基本藝術面貌。論文首先以一種俯瞰的角度,論述了世界兒童幻想小說的起源,以及這一文體命名在中國大陸的確定。論文並沒有停留在宏觀的泛泛描述上,而是從文本入手,以縝密仔細的文本研究與對照,考察最具典型性的數部國外優秀經典文本,探索兒童幻想小說的四大基本藝術特徵,並提出其中三條與童話的本質區分:兒童幻想小說建立起現實世界與幻想世界分化的二次元結構,描寫幻想侵入現實的「驚異感」作為重要表現手段。(相對於童話幻想與現實的互為交融,自然融合)兒童幻想小說通過鏈結與打通的藝術銜接,實現幻想邏輯於現實邏輯的合理嫁接與過渡。(相對於童話幻想與現實之間的模糊過渡)兒童幻想小說中的幻想呈現出寫實、具像的風格,充分豐富的細節細膩逼真,人物形象塑造典型化、個性化。(相對於童話的抽象寫意)兒童幻想小說的價值首先在於恣意想像精神解放的純遊戲精神的解放,同時具有返觀映照、更深刻地認識現實人生的機能。希望通過本文的論述,推動兒童幻想小說在中國大陸的確立、發展與成熟。
