沈从文的创作与审美现代性

Shen Congwen's Creations and Aesthetic Modernity

沈从文是中国现代文坛一个独异的存在。须从审美现代性的维度去解读沈氏创作,其创作所内蕴的独异性才能得到充分的揭示。沈氏创作呈现的审美现代性精神主要体现在:对进步时间观的反思,对感性生命的崇扬,对人性异化的忧虑三个方面。沈氏创作的这一审美现代性视野在当时的历史语境下是大胆而独异的,它必然注定沈氏在中国现代文坛的孤独者命运。

Shen Congwen is a unique existence in the modern literary circles of China. The distinctiveness connoted in Shen＇s creations can be sufficiently revealed if we explain his creations from the viewpoint of aesthetic modernity. The spirit of aesthetic modernity presented in Shen＇s creations is embodied as three aspects which are reflection on the idea of progressive time, advocating sensual life and anxiety about alienation of human nature. The viewpoint of aesthetic modernity in Shen＇s creations is bold and unique in historical context at that time. It is inevitably doomed for Shen to be lonely in the modern literary circles of China.
