上海都市空间的现代性想象——论新感觉派作家的上海空间想象

Imagination of the Urban Space of Shanghai——On the Imagination of Shanghai Space of New Sensation Writers

上海自从开启现代性进程以来,真正从都市文化的角度来想象上海空间、建构上海现代都市文化特质的无疑是新感觉派小说家。他们所建构的上海都市空间既是想象的,又是现实的;不是完全真实的,又不是完全不真实的,是想象与现实的混合体。从新感觉派作家对上海的想象开始,上海逐渐成为中国人理解现代性的一个文化符号和永久的文化记忆。新感觉派作家所想象的都市空间、所表现的都市文化主题、所采用的艺术表现手法为都市文化小说提供了可资借鉴的范例。

New sensation writers imagine the Shanghai space and construct the character of the urban culture of Shanghai through the urban culture since Shanghai begin to modernize.The Shanghai which they construct is either imaginative or real;neither true wholly nor untrue wholly and it is the combination of imagination and reality.Shanghai gradually becomes the sign and the memory in which Chinese people comprehend the modernity since new sensation writers imagine Shanghai.These writers＇ imagination of urban space and their usage of the means of artistic expression all provide experiences for urban fiction.
