憧憬与惆怅:中国城市变迁的现代性悖论——以京味话剧中的北京城市改造为考察对象

Expectations and Perplexities: the Modernity Paradox of China's Urbanization——Exploring the Subject of Urban Renewal in Beijing-style Drama

自老舍的《龙须沟》始,中国当代文学已然将城市化进程纳入书写范畴。其中京味话剧的创作切切实实地展示了当代北京的城市变迁。继《龙须沟》之后,《旮旯胡同》、《万家灯火》、《海棠胡同》、《枣树》等剧以北京大杂院的拆迁为主题,围绕市民的杂院生活以及由拆迁带来的喜怒哀乐再现了平民视角之下的城市现代化道路。此类京味话剧一方面可配合宣扬城市规划,以戏剧舞台记录城市景观的变迁,从而参与城市形象的建构和推广;另一方面关注市民对城市改造的体验和感受,于市民的日常生活之中再现了城市现代性的诸多问题,为阐释中国的城市经验和城市现代性提供了丰富的文本。

Ever since Laoshe ＇s Longxugou, the urbanization process has been an element of Chinese contemporary literature. For example, the works of Beijng-style drama show the development of contemporary Beijing. After Longxugou, dramatic works such as Gala Hutong, Glittering Days, Haitang Hutong, and Chinese Jujube reflect the life and emotions of local people in the warrens, artistically dramatizing the process of modernization in Beijing in the eyes of the ordinary people. On one hand, these works of Beijing-style drama exhibit the change of urban landscape on the stage, and can be positively used to promote urban planning and to construct a favorable urban image. On the other hand, they focus on feelings of people about urban renewal and represent the problem of urban modernity in citizen＇s daily life, thus enriching the types of texts that help illustrate Chinese urban experience and urban modernity.
