“现代化”的总体性与“技术主义”的鼎新——对20世纪80年代先锋文学的一种发生学考察

The Totality of“Modernization”and the Renovation of“Technicism”:A Genetics Study of the Vanguard Literature in the 1980s

近代以降的中国,迈向现代化是历史的大趋势,就这个宏大且一以贯之的历史逻辑而言,中国文学的现代化只不过是这一“重大工程”之下的一个“子项目”而已。从发生学的角度加以考察,20世纪80年代先锋文学的兴起,完全可以视为告别革命话语之后,在“现代化”这个新的总体性规约之下,文学领域基于“技术主义”的鼎新求变。先锋文学是80年代中国现代性焦虑的重要文化表征。

China,since its decline in the modern times,has moved towards modernization,which is a historical trend.In terms of this grand and consistent historical logic,the modernization of Chinese literature is only a“branch program”of this“major project”.From the perspective of genetics,the rise of avant-garde literature in the 1980s can be regarded as the renovation for change based on“technicism”in the literary field within this new and general convention of“modernization”,after the departure from the revolutionary discourse.Vanguard literature is an impor tant cultural representation of China’s modernity anxiety in the 1980s.
