地方、语言与民间现代性

Locality,Language and Civil Modernity

本文通过三个不同的侧面来探讨地方、语言与民间现代性的问题。萧红的《呼兰河传》秉持与五四文学相一致的启蒙立场,深刻揭示了呼兰河民众愚昧麻木的精神状态。同时,在批判封建的总体格局上,又以人道主义的情怀发掘了民间自在状态下的朴实与坚忍,通过民间信仰及其民俗活动赋予小说广阔的文化内涵。《安徽俗话报》秉承启蒙的宗旨,采用地方俗话的形式,将启蒙目光投射到民间大众尤其是女性身上,大力宣扬女性启蒙思想,使“男女平权”的思想以丰富的内容和形式传播开来,为女性从生理到心理两个方面建构话语权做出了一定贡献。刘半农则在新文化运动中将自身情感内化于民间,站在民间立场来对抗中国传统主流文化。他在民间语言与民歌文体的审美认同上提出了自己关于新诗的理论主张,为新诗的发展拓宽了道路。在这些理论的基础上,刘半农自觉进行了探索民间文化的创作实践,集中体现为《扬鞭集》与《瓦釜集》。

This paper explores the issues of locality,language,and civil modernity through three different aspects.Tales of Hulan River written by Xiao Hong stands on the enlightenment position consistent with the May Fourth Literature,and profoundly exposes the ignorant and numb mental state of the people from Hulan River.Simultaneously,in the overall pattern of criticizing feudalism,she has explored the simplicity and perseverance of the people s free state with humanitarian sentiments,which endowed the novel s broad cultural connotation through folk beliefs and folklore activities.Adhering to the purpose of enlightenment,Anhui Colloquial Periodical has used the form of local sayings to project enlightenment to the public,particularly in women,and vigorously promote women s enlightenment thought so that the idea of“equal rights between men and women”has spreaded in rich contents and forms.It has made certain contributions to the construction of discourse power for women from physiological and psychological aspects.Liu Bannong internalizes his own emotions into the folk in the New Cultural Movement and stands on the folk position against traditional Chinese mainstream culture.And in the aesthetic identity of folk language and folk song style,he puts forward his own theoretical ideas about new poetry and broadened the road for the development of new poetry.On the basis of these theories,Liu Bannong consciously carries out the creative practice of exploring folk culture,which is embodied in the Collection of Yang Bian and Collection of Wa Fu.
