《狂人日记》与一种现代中国主体的诞生

Diary of A Madman and the Birth of a Kind of Modern Chinese Subjectivity

《狂人日记》提供了思考现代文学中现实主义、现代、主体等一系列理论命题的契机。作为巴赫金"思想小说"意义上的《狂人日记》,描绘了一种理性的、以"恐惧"为内核、有行动能力的现代主体。接续着以竹内好和伊藤虎丸为代表的战后日本鲁迅研究的思考,指出这样的主体形态是中国独特的现代历史进程的产物。

This paper defines Lu Xun＇s short novel Diary of A Madman as an ideological novel. By analyzing the madman’s rational thought and his experience of fear, together with the comparison with other types of subjectivity in modern Chinese literature, this paper aims to explain the form of the modern subjectivity depicted by Diary of A Madman, and explores the historical situations and experiences behind this short novel.
