身体写作:一种“野蛮主义”的现代性

Body Writing: An “Uncivilized” Modernity

现代性是一个含义颇多、歧义丛生、因此显得极为暧昧的概念。一般情况下,我们喜欢把它简化为两种,即“启蒙/社会现代性”和“审美/文化现代性”;这实际是对现代性概念多元性、复杂性的掩盖。在多元的现代性中,“野蛮主义潜藏于现代性的核心”,并且在20世纪90年代以来中国文学的“身体写作”中鲜明地表露出来。在现代性视角的观照下,身体写作的成就与缺失清晰可辨。这为众生藉此走近人性和生活的真相,去贴切感悟意义复制世界对生命积习已久的尘封,提供了一个绝佳的契机和切入口。

The complicated and ambiguous concept of modernity is generally simplified as “initial/social modernity” and“aesthetic/cultural modernity”which actually conceals the plurality and complexity of the concept of modernity. The uncivilist modernity is apparently reflected in “body writing”of Chinese contemporary literature. Studies on body writing help understand the truth of life and experience the dust-laden meaningful world.
