当冷战现代主义遭遇文化民族主义——关于中国香港现代文学美术协会及其文化再造运动的考察与思考

When American Cold War Modernism Met Chinese Cultural Nationalism:Revisiting Modern Literature and Art Association Hong Kong,China and Its Remaking Movement of Chinese Culture

本文以中国香港现代主义文化团体中国香港现代文学美术协会(1958-1964)及其倡导的文化再造运动为研究对象,通过考察协会刊物《新思潮》与《好望角》的文艺风貌,辨析20世纪50年代末至60年代前期中国香港现代主义与冷战现代主义及文化民族主义如何附着交织又有所创造的具体面向。本文认为,美国政府推广的冷战现代主义主要着眼于艺术的政治功用,而中国香港对于欧美现代主义的接受侧重于艺术本身与民族文化再造。此外,本项研究尝试厘清以下问题:其时中国香港现代主义与大众文化工业、离散文化以及文艺新潮社的多重关系等。本文认为,这一文化再造运动试图以个体创造性为根本、民族文化新生为旗帜、中外文艺交流为媒介,想象与构建一种具有世界主义色彩的文化共同体。

Based on the case study of Modern Literature and Art Association Hong Kong,China (1958-1964) and its journals The New Currents and Modern Edition, this article reveals how Hong Kong,China modernism established its specific aesthetic principles and outlooks through recontextualizing American Cold War modernism, reinventing Chinese cultural nationalism, and inheriting local modernist tradition of the Literary New Trends Association. This articles also explores the multi-facets of Hong Kong,China modernism of the period through teasing out its complex relations with local cultural industries, international Cold War politics, and Chinese diasporic writings during that period. It argues that the Association inscribed its remaking movement of Chinese culture not only to national cultural renaissance but also within a cosmopolitan cultural community that promoted individual creativity and world cultural exchanges on the platform of Hong Kong,China.
