五四文学与存在主义

The May Fourth Literature and Existentialism

"存在主义与五四文学"是个在学界尚未得到正视的话题,对其进行必要的探究是对这一话题具有实质意义的学术话语建构。首先,由于五四新文学运动实质上是文化启蒙运动,所以启蒙主义语境中的存在主义价值选择,成为五四文学的时代必然。其次,从"新浪漫主义"——"现代主义"——"非理性主义"的话语意义链来审度,所谓"新浪漫主义"话语不啻为一种存在主义的艺术表述。其三,由生命哲学的视角切入,五四文学的生命诗学及创作形态,在将西方生命哲学本土化吸纳的基础上,显示出其存在主义文学的创作本体论的意义。

“Existentialism and the May Fourth Literature” is a subject that has not been confronted squarely in academia. It is an important academic construction to explore this topic . Firstly the May 4th Movement in 1919 is a cultural enlightenment movements, so the existentialist tendency in the context of enlightment becomes the inevitable result. Secondly, judging from the chain of discourse significance from new romanticism to modernism to irrationalism, the so-called ＂new romantic＂ discourse is a kind of existential expression. Thirdly, to analyse it in the viewpoint of life philosophy, the poetics of life and creative medality of the May Fourth Literature display their significance on the creative ontological of the Existentialism Literature on the basis of absorbing the western life philosophy.
