另类现代性:时间、空间与性别的深度关联——中国现当代文学中的“外来者故事”模式

Alien Modernity:the Statements of the Relevance of Time,Space and Gender——The "Outsider Story" Pattern in Chinese Modern Literature

现代性首先是进化论的时间价值诉求,而在中国这样后发展现代性国家中,这种时间价值则被空间化,即将现代与传统、新与旧、进步与落后、文明与愚昧等等二元对立的进化论时间范畴深刻嵌入西方与中国、外与内、乡村与都市等空间范畴中,对时间化了的空间或者空间化的时间的体验成了中国人深刻而独特的现代性经验。而"外来者故事"这一"五四"以来中国文学中反复出现的叙事模式近百年的绵延、变异,表现了在现代中国象征意义系统中,二元对立的进化论时间范畴不仅被深刻嵌入中国与西方、外与内、都市与乡村等空间范畴的建构中,还被嵌入另一对空间性范畴——男性与女性(性别身份也是一种空间性的存在)的建构中。换言之,性别符码一直在参与有关时间、空间的表述。时间、空间与性别的深度关联实际上是"五四"以来近百年中国文学所表达的一种非常"另类"的现代性经验。

Through surveying the development and changing of the narrative pattern of ＂outsider story＂, which has been lasting for nearly a hundred years in Chinese literature since the May 4th Movement, this thesis seeks to show that in modern Chinese symbolic meaning system, old and new, modernity and tradition, progress and backwardness, civilization and ignorance, such dualistic time category of evolutionism was not only deeply embedded in the construction of space category, such as China and the West, outside and within, urban and rural, etc, but also embedded in the construction of male and female （gender identity is also spatial existence）. In other words, gender code has always been involved in the statements of the relevance of time and space.
