20世纪二三十年代文学中的“上海书写”

“Shanghai Writings”of Chinese Literature in the 20s and 30s of the 20^(th) Century

20世纪二三十年代文学中的“上海书写”,寄寓了晚清以来对现代民族国家共同体的认同理念,构筑了现代文学追求宏大性的国家叙事的意义空间,成为现代中国的一种国家元叙事。同时,这一时期的上海,已完成了从开埠之初的小渔村、渔港,向现代大都会的转变,都市文化得到蓬勃发展。中西文化的交汇,消费文化的盛行和都市市民气息的混合、杂糅,又成为现代文学中“上海书写”的一大特点。无疑,20世纪二三十年代的“上海书写”,与中华民族的历史记忆、情感基调和时代意识有着内在的关联。它牵动着现代中国敏感的神经,对应着现代民族国家现代化的发展进程。

＂Shanghai Writings＂ of Chinese literature in the 20s and 30s of the 20^th century, which are imbued with ideas of a modern nation as a state community approved since the late Qing Dynasty, have built up a meaning space where modern Chinese literature strives for a grand paradigm for narration of national events, thus becoming a primary narration style in modern China. At the same time, Shanghai in the 20s and 30s of the 20^th century had accomplished its transformation from a little fishing village and a little fishing port to a modern grand city. As a result, its urban culture had flourished. The integration of Chinese culture with Western culture, the domination and popularity of a consumer culture, and a mixed atmosphere of urban residents became a major distinguishing feature of ＂Shanghai writings＂ in modern Chinese literature. Undoubtedly, ＂Shanghai Writings＂ are closely related to history memories, emotional keynote, and epoch consciousness of the Chinese nation. They get on the sensitive nerves of modern China, directing towards the modernization process of the Chinese nation.
