现代中国文学大众话语的起源

On the Origin of Masses Discourse of Modern Chinese Literature

现代中国文学大众话语起源于晚清的下层社会启蒙运动。"国民"与"新民"概念的提出及其泛化确立了文学大众话语的接受主体,以"开通民智"为核心的启蒙目标的确定使文学变成了政治启蒙的工具,促成了晚清"文学民众化"的潮流的发生。白话报刊的创办和戏剧改良的盛行是晚清"文学民众化"潮流的主要表现形式,晚清的"文学民众化"运动开启了"五四"时期的"文学民众化"潮流,其本质是一种意识形态的再生产,具有强烈的政治化倾向。

The masses discourse of modern Chinese literature originated in enlightenment movement of lower class in the late Qing Dynasty. The concept of citizen was put forward and later became popular, which established the subject of masses discourse. The idea of ＂developing the masses intelligence＂ made literature become the political instrument, which encouraged the trend of ＂masses literature＂. Newspapers and magazines were written in the vernacular and new plays were the important styles of masses literature. The nature of masses discourse of literature in the late Qing Dynasty is the representation of capitalist ideology, and has strong political orientation.
