Abstract

As a hotly debated topic in the field of contemporary Chinese literature, although the narrative of “confession” borrows religious consciousness to a certain extent to realize the transformation of its own discourse and deepen the discussion, it also has problems such as the vacillation of signifier and signified, the confusion in the use of concepts, and the unclear logic and so on, most of which are presented as the lack of confession discourse with real “confession spirit”. This paper uses the two main concepts of confession formed in the context of Western history and culture, “Theodicy” represented by Augustine and “Anthrodizee” represented by Rousseau, to sort out the confession narrative in contemporary Chinese literature. It can be noted that the Chinese contemporary literary context presents an overall admiration for “Anthrodizee” and many internal alienations, as well as the emergence of a weak awareness of “Theodicy” that needs urgent attention.
