“都市叙事群”与“非西方的现代性”——兼论李欧梵《上海摩登》的颓废观与现代文学学科的关系

The “Urban Narrative Group”and “Non-Western Modernity”: On the Relation between the Concept of Decadence in Leo Ou-fan Lee's Shanghai Modern and Modern Literature as a Discipline as well

《上海摩登》曾被误解为"官方主流意识形态的‘代言者’",其实却是严肃的学术著作,其贡献在于:打捞起了因"颓废"问题而被"80前"中国现代文学学科长期忽视的以施蛰存与穆时英为代表的"都市叙事群",并通过对"都市叙事群"的研究发现了"身份—性压抑"与"批判性缺失"两种"摩登上海"独具的"非西方的现代性",从而证实了通过现代文学来研究现代性问题的可行性。

Shanghai Modern was once misunderstood as a'spokesperson'of the official mainstream ideology,but it is in fact a serious academic work. Its contributions can be described in such a way: it uncovers the 'urban narrative group'represented by Shi Zhecun and Mu Shiying,which has been ignored in modern Chinese literature as a discipline before 1980s due to the 'decadence'; it discovers two typical 'non-Western'modernity in modern Shanghai,that is,'identity depression'and 'criticism deficiency',so that it illustrates a feasibility of examining modernity through modern literature.
