审美现代性的历险——施蛰存小说创作的消长

Evolution of Aesthetic Modernity——Case Study of Shi Zhecun's Works

现代性的滥觞起于西方,随着世界资本市场一体化的扩张,它已跨越了民族国家的界限而成为一种世界现象。但无论是在率先遭遇现代性的西方还是被迫遭遇现代性的中国,作为一种元叙述话语,它都是一个阐释的难题。1846年,波德莱尔以预言家的口吻为现代性的神话作了注脚,为后来的现代性研究提供了首要的理论资源。本文拟以审美现代性为突破点,以施蛰存的创作为立论基点,还有他创作的沉浮为焦点,揭橥被压抑的中国审美现代性,从而梳理出现代性在中国本土化的历程中纠结的两难窘境。

Originating from the West, modernity has crossed national boundaries and prevailed throughout the world, with the expansion of Capitalist market system. However, it remains a puzzle as a multi-dimensional concept in its birthplace-the West, and its colony-the East, as well. Aesthetic modernity was firstly constructed in 1846 by Baudelaire, who laid a solid foundation for the theoretical evolution of this idea. This paper deals with this topic in the light of SHI Zhecun's works, which expose the oppressed aesthetic modernity, and its contradiction with localness in China.
