民初“思想界”解析——报刊媒介与读书人的生活形态

An Analysis of Early Republican "Intellectual Circles":Press Media and the Life Style of Intellectuals

基于报刊媒介所营造的思想环境,及读书人由此展现的新的生活形态,以解析民国初年之"思想界",是本文的中心论旨。一方面试图说明报刊经历晚清的发展到民国时期有什么新的变化,但这里所说的变化,主要不是指量的变化,而是指传播媒介与思想、政治、社会之间的互动。通过这样的研究以检讨民初由报刊所营造的思想环境有怎样的特征;另一方面则试图结合读书人与报刊的互动,尤其是身处大学校园的读书人与报刊的关联,审视读书人的生活形态呈现出的新的特性。无论什么时候,读书人总有展现其身份意义的象征,民初读书人也不例外。透过报刊与大学及读书人的互动,或者可以更好说明民初的思想环境对读书人的塑造,也有助于对民初"思想界"更好的把握。

The main aim of this article is to analyze the intellectual circles in Early Republican China based on the intellectual environment produced by the press media and the new life style among intellectuals that emerged from it.On the one hand,this paper tries to explain the new changes in the press media in Republican China after its development in the late Qing period.However,the changes examined are not quantitative changes;they are the media's interactions with thought,politics and society.With this approach,we examine what characteristics the press media produced in the intellectual environment of Early Republican China.On the other hand,in order to observe what kinds of new characteristics appeared in the life style of intellectuals,this paper tries to integrate the interactions between the press and intellectuals,in particular the relationship between the press and intellectuals in colleges and universities.In every era intellectuals always have symbols to show their status,and early Republican intellectuals were no exception.Through interactions between the press media and intellectuals,perhaps we can explain better how the early Republican intellectual environment molded intellectuals,and better understand early Republican 'intellectual circles'.
