“偶像破坏时期”日本游记中的武汉形象研究——以三部选入中华书局出版的“近代日本人中国游记”丛书的作品为例

Study on the Image of Wuhan in Japanese Travel Notes During the Period Of Idol Destruction——Taking Three Selected Works of"Modern Japanese Travels to China"Series Published by Zhonghua Book Company as an Example

日本明治和大正年间,许多日本文人来汉并留下大量游记,其中以内藤湖南、宇野哲人和芥川龙之介为代表。他们的笔下既有现代化的汉口,也有处于新旧尴尬夹缝间的“传统武汉”。通过与史实的比较,可以发现文本与现实间的失真与错漏。这与作者们的观察视角密切相关。他们所构建的武汉形象,实质是经典文本和侵略者意识共同作用下的幻象,暗示着其独特而矛盾的民族心理。对于他们来说,武汉形象是否客观不再重要,重要的是武汉是否成为作者们关照本民族文化的一面镜子。

During the Meiji and Taisho Times of Japan,many Japanese scholars came to Wuhan and left a large number of travel notes writers,including Naito Konan,Uno Tetsuto and Akutagawa Ryunosuke as representatives.Their writings contain both modern Hankou and"traditional Wuhan"which was in the awkward gap between the old and the new age.Comparing with historical facts,we can easily find that there are distortions and omission.This is closely related to the authors'observation perspective.The image of Wuhan they constructed is essentially an illusion under the combination of the classic and the aggressive consciousness,implying their unique and contradictory national psychology.For them,whether the image of Wuhan is objective is no longer important.What matters is if Wuhan has become a mirror for authors to take care of their own culture.
