从“期许与犹疑”到“突破与边缘”——中国 2 0世纪二三十年代现代主义文学本土化进程管窥

From "expectation and hesitation" to "breakthrough and brink". On the historical process of the modernism literature localization in the 1920's and 1930's in China

对20世纪二三十年代中国现代主义文学本土化进程进行了探讨,认为现代主义文学是从西方引进的"异质文化",它从最初的"新客"身份演变成后来的"归化者"的定位,其间经历了一个较为漫长的时期。在这个时期的第一个阶段中,20年代中国的新文学家们对于"新客东来"的现代主义基本上持期许与犹疑并存的态度,现代主义在那时还只能说是一种广为散播的质素。30年代中国的现代主义文学实验取得了一定程度的突破,但衬托在强势的民族危亡的时代语境与现实主义的文学主流之下,这种突破也显得十分单薄。中国现代主义文学的边缘宿命在当时已经初见端倪。

Discusses the localization process of modernism literature in the 1920's and 1930's in China. Considers that modernism literature was a heterogeneous culture introduced from the west. It is quite a long period that its first 'new guest' status was later turned into 'a naturalized citizen'. In the interval, Chinese modern literary authors in 1920's housed a basic attitude of both expectation and hesitation towards Modernism, 'the new comer from abroad'. During that time, Modernism was only an element widely distributed. In 1930's, China's modernism literature experiments experienced a breakthrough of certain degree. But this breakthrough seemed to be very weak because of the pre-eminent history setting of country and race extinction, and realism literature being mainstream. China's modernism predestination already saw the clues at that time.
