启蒙视域下中国现代散文的理想生活文化建构

Construction of Ideal Life Culture in Modern Chinese Prose from the Perspective of Enlightenment

现代散文既是中国新文化启蒙运动中重要的文学表达方式之一,更是一种社会文化的建构方式。它以其形式的短小灵活、内容的无限包容、表达的直接浅显等文体优势,与现代期刊报纸传媒迅速结合,构建了现代性时间概念、自然空间概念、社会文化空间、审美意识、社会习俗等,形成现代理想的生活模式,传播着现代科学、民主等先进理念,具有都市工业化社会文化特征,呈现出"中等社会"(即社会变迁中形成的复杂的士、商、职业技术阶层)引领下层民众所认可的理想生活图景,反映并影响了中国社会现代价值观念与行为模式的形成,在社会文化建构中具有非常重要的价值和作用,并由此获得了现代散文的大众文化文类性质。

Modern prose is not only one of the important ways of literary expression in Chinese new cultural enlightenment, but also a way of social and cultural construction. With its stylistic advantages such as short and flexible form, unlimited tolerance of content, and direct and simple expressions, modern prose quickly combines modern periodicals and newspaper media, constructs modern concepts of time, natural space, social and cultural space, aesthetic consciousness, social customs, etc., forms a modern ideal mode of life, disseminates advanced concepts such as modern science and democracy. These social and cultural characteristics of urban industrialization present a "medium society"(that is, the complicated scholar bureaucrat, business and vocational and technical social stratum formed in social changes), which leads the ideal life picture accepted by the lower class, reflects and influences the formation of modern values and behavior patterns in Chinese society, and plays a very valuable role in the construction of social culture, thus, obtaining the nature of popular culture genre for modern prose.
