论郭沫若的城市意识与城市诗(上)

On Urban Awareness and Urban Poems of Guo Moruo(Ⅰ)

描写现代都会生活和物质文明的城市诗 ,是 2 0世纪新诗发展中现代性趋向的一个重要方面。郭沫若的《女神》及稍后的其他诗歌创作 ,在这方面的实践 ,可视为中国现代城市诗先驱性的探索和尝试。在这一系列诗作中 ,他由重视情感的表现 ,到重视感觉发掘 ,特别是重视新的感觉和经验的开掘 ,重视用“近代人的脑筋”对新的感觉与经验的发现与捕捉 ,从而实现了诗歌美学上的突进。其“雏形”期城市诗的价值在于 ,它不仅提供了新的感觉与现代性审美转变的信息 。

Urban poeztry which depicts modern urban life and material civilization is an important aspect of the modern tendency of the zoth-century new poetry's development.Guo's Goddess and other poetical writings could be viewed as a kind of pioneering exploration and experiment of China's modern urban poetry.In his poetical writings, Guo began with the emphasis on representing emotions and then turned to the exploration of perception,especially exposure of new perception and experience.His poems focus on the discovery and seizure of new perception and experiene by means of 'modern man's brain' and thus achieve a breakthrough in poetical aesthetics.The value of Guo's earliest urban poetry lies in the fact that it provides new perception and information of modern aesthetic conversion and meanwhile displays an important way to modernize the new poetry itself.
