民族性与现代性的两难——以小说《长河》、《正红旗下》为例

A Case Study of Chang He and Zheng Hong Qi Xia:the Dilemma Between Nationality and Modernity

20世纪初以来逐步趋于稳定的民族共同体背景下,少数民族基于自身"民族性"构建的实践与作为整体社会历史潮流的追求"现代性"之间,呈现出一种复杂的两难状态。《长河》、《正红旗下》从不同的时代与民族关系背景出发,试图对作者自身民族的民族性进行想象性展望与重构。这种展望与重构的失败,与20世纪中国艰难的"现代性"追求及其陷入的吊诡和误区紧密相关,并凸显出二者在共存中陷入的悖论。

In the context of stabilized national community from 1900s, a dilemma has come into being between pursuing ethnic nationality and seeking modernity as a whole social and historic tide. The author of Chang He and Zheng Hong Qi Xia tried to imagine and reconstruct this nationality under the background of different eras and national relations, whose failure was closely related to China＇s difficulty in seeking modernity in the whole twentieth century and presented a paradox which resulted from the coexistence of nationality and modernity.
