《麒麟》通俗小说中的现代都市文化符号与悖论叙事

Modern Urban Culture Symbols and Paradox Narration in the Popular Novels of Kirin

20世纪上半叶,随着中国城市化进程的发展,关注世俗生活的都市书写日益兴盛,而东北的城市化起步虽晚但发展快。日本殖民时期的大众文化杂志《麒麟》以大量刊载通俗小说而畅销东北,作品中丰富而复杂的都市文化符号真实地再现了现代化进程中的都市文化形态。这些都市大众生活中具有典型现代意味的时尚消费空间、日常活动空间、流动行进空间等都市文化符号,还蕴含着对都市物质现代化的文化反思。从中可见,特异时空中的《麒麟》通俗小说与现代通俗小说的都市书写是一脉相承的,同样表现了都市与乡村对立的现代性悖论叙事。

In the first half of the 20th century,with the development of China’s urbanization process,urban writing,which focuses on secular life,is booming day by day.The urbanization in the northeast started late but developed rapidly.During the Japanese colonial period,the popular culture magazine“Kirin”sold well in Northeast China with a large number of popular novels,and the rich and complex urban cultural symbols in the works truly reproduce the urban cultural forms in the process of modernization.These urban cultural symbols,such as fashionable consumption space,daily activity space and mobile traveling space,which have typical modern meanings in the urban mass life,contain cultural reflections on the modernization of urban materials.It can be seen from this that the popular novels of“Kirin”in the special time and space are in line with the urban writing of modern popular novels,and also show the paradox narration of modernity in the opposition between urban and rural areas.
