班马是中国当代儿童文学的一位开路先锋，无论是在理论还是创作领域，他的探索都带有颠覆性意味，他的成败得失也给儿童文学的良性发展带来经验与教训。班马的探索不仅体现在作品艺术面貌的创新方面，更体现在对儿童文学的美学本体建构层面。本文将从班马的美学理念出发，重点分析其少年小说在文本内涵、艺术形式与读者接受等方面的探索之路。第一章“绪论”部分介绍了班马的生活经历、创作情况，以及本文的选题意义。本章致力于探寻班马的生活经历对其个性发展与事业选择的影响，并将班马的少年小说按风格分成三类，将班马的儿童事业分为四个阶段。接下来的三章从创作理念、文本内涵和艺术形式的探索三方面对班马少年小说展开相关的研究，重在表现班马少年小说对儿童文学美学新边疆的拓展。其中，第二章从主体对话、儿童的审美发生与审美接受三个理论支点出发，阐述班马对儿童文学的美学建构，并以“儿童反儿童化”、“游戏精神”和“精神扮演”为关键词，详细解读班马的少年小说创作理念；第三章从人物形象、故事空间与文化寻根三方面研究班马少年小说的表现内容，走进其笔下那个充满野性生命力的深广世界，探寻其中的寻根意识和文化脉络。第四章从“亦真亦幻”、文体实验和叙事特色三个角度，呈现班马少年小说中那令人耳目一新的艺术形式，展现其不循常规的探索意识和日渐精湛的写作手法。研究班马不能绕开“儿童接受”这个话题，本文的第五章揭示了班马早期创作中的审美理念与读者接受之间的错位，并以长篇小说《六年级大逃亡》为例，重点分析了班马的后期创作如何对前期探索的失误进行了有效修正，从而实现了创作主体与接受主体之间的真正对话。“结语”部分在总结前面章节的基础上，试探着在中国儿童文学发展史上对班马进行定位，并认为他所代表的探索精神和难度写作，给当代儿童文学这样的启示：要重塑儿童文学的美学品格，同时，要密切联系儿童的精神现实，实现“艺术探索”与“儿童接受”的有效结合。
