“流动”的旅行者和“想象”的乌托邦——近代小说两种叙事模式中的现代性意味

FLOWING TRAVELERS AND IMAGINARY UTOPIA: The significations of modernity of the two narrative patterns in Chinese novels from 1848 to 1919

旅行者叙事和“乌托邦”叙事是近代小说叙事中值得关注的两种现象。前者中旅行者复杂和“流动”的个体体验成为叙事的一个焦点;后者对于民族国家的“想象”成为叙事的基本结构。两者从不同的层面折射了近代文化中的现代性意味。

Narration of traveler and narration of utopia are obvious in the modem novels. In the former the traveler＇s complicated and flowing personal experience becomes a focus of the narrative; in the latter the imagination of the nation is the basic structure of the novels. Both imply the meaning of modernity in the modem culture.
