探询“现代化的中国固有精神”——论周作人抗战时期的散文创作

An Inquiry into "Modern Inherent Chinese Spirit"—— on Zhou Zuoren’s Essays during the War of Resistance Against Japan

周作人抗战时期的散文创作,呈现出探究"现代化的中国固有精神"这一基本价值指向,虽然和左翼作家的自由追求大不相同,但潜在地符合了新文化传统逐渐彰显的"本土化"趋势,和胡适等人的自由诉求隐相呼应。这些积极因素与其政治短视并存,反映出周作人作为"思想者"在应对现实生存时的某种困境。仔细考察这些内容,对于重审知识分子的社会角色与社会文化语境的应对关系,不无裨益。

Zhou Zuoren＇s essays during the War of Resistance Against Japan present a fundamental value orientation of inquiring into ＂modem inherent Chinese spirit＂, which, though totally different from the pursuit of freedom of the left-wing writers, potentially conforms to ＂localization ＂ trend more and more prominent in a new cultural tradition, echoing Hu Shi＇s appeal of freedom. Such positive elements coexist his political nearsightedness, which reflects a certain dilemma of Zhou Zuoren as a ＂thinker＂ facing reality. Taking all the above into consideration is of great help to reviewing the correlation between the social role o.f intellectuals and the cultural context of society.
