作为大后方文学中心意象的“路”与现代“国家共同感”的发生

“Highway” as the Central Image in Literature in KMT Controlled Rigions and the Genesis of “National Sense of Community”

大后方文学对以公路为主体的交通方式的想象和书写,使"路"成为此期文学鲜明的中心意象,在抗战时期中国"国家共同感"的生产中发挥了重要作用。"路"的联结性功能,不仅把"现代中国"联结成了一个统一的空间整体,还通过这种空间同一性打通了古代和现代的时间断裂,发明了"现代中国"自身的历史同一性。普通民众也在修筑和维护道路等活动中,从匿名的农民变成了崇高的现代"国民",完成了"民众的发现",使中国的抗战获得了人类学的伟大意义。

The imagination and writing about the highway-centered transportation in literature in KMT controlled regions during the Anti-Japanese War, played an indispensable role in creating "national sense of community"."Highway" functioned as a linkage not only to integrate the "modern China" as a spatial entity,but also to create the historic homogeneity of "modern China" by filling the temporal gap between antiquity and modernity. The " discovery of the people" was also accomplished as the ordinary people were transformed from anonymous peasants into the sublime modern " citizens" by way of participating in building and maintaining the highways, which constituted the anthropological significance of China’s AntiJapanese War.
