地域、国家与世界——《云雀之歌》中现代性的三重视野

Region,Nation and the World: Triple Visions of Modernity in The Song of the Lark

脱离研究《云雀之歌》中的乡土特色和自传特征的俗套,本文考察该小说对现代性的表征。小说中,"杂糅"的乡村是现代性的地域化产物,是兼具前现代和现代的"第三空间"。同质化的城市是现代性的国家化效应,世界主义者的崛起则是全球现代性的语境中理想的主体存在模式,成为连接前现代/现代、乡村/城市、国家/世界等二元对立之间互动的桥梁。《云雀之歌》从地域、国家和世界的三重视野审视现代性历史实践,表明文学地域主义这一文类参与、反思并重构了现代性的历史话语。

Disaffiliating from the convention that has researched on local colorist features and autobiographical characteristics in The Song of the Lark, this paper studies its representation of modernity. In the novel, the ＂hybridized＂ countryside, as the regionalized product of modernity, becomes ＂the third space＂ with the features of the premodern and the modern. But, the homogenized city is resulted from the nationalization of modernity, and the emergence of cosmopolitan is the ideal existential mode of subject in the context of global modernity and becomes the bridge that connects the interaction among such binary relations as the premodern/the modern, the country/the city and nation/the world. From the triple visions of region, nation and the world, The Song of the Lark, inspects the merits and demerits incurred by the historical practices of modernity, and thereby proves that literary regionalism as a genre has participated in, reflected upon and reconstructed the historical discourse of modernity.
