城市化与城市性:上海书写中城市意识的形态与嬗变

Urbanization and Urbanity:Form and Evolution of Urban Consciousness in Shanghai Writing

近年来,城市文学成为研究热点。文章以城市化与城市性为视角回顾上海书写的发展历程,梳理城市意识的嬗变。城市化不仅改变了城市的物质外观,而且也改变了人们的感性认知与理性判断。上海书写中城市化与城市性的同步变动,映射出城市意识的历史形态与嬗变。现代时期,上海作为与乡土相对立的城市典型,对其的书写呈现出人们的身份危机与生存焦虑;新时期后,重启的城市化重新引发人们的心灵震荡,并出现了怀旧叙事的新类型;新世纪以来,则从城乡、今昔的宏观视角沉潜到城市性的层面,更加关注城市人的生活形态与精神样貌。城市书写仍亟待一次情感的自我启蒙,以建构新时代的城市意识。

In recent years,urban literature has become a research hotspot.From the perspective of urbanization and urbanity,this paper reviews the development process of Shanghai writing and combs the evolution of urban consciousness.Urbanization changes not only the physical appearance of the city,but also people's perceptual cognition and rational judgment.The synchronous change of urbanization and urbanity also reflects the historical form and evolution of urban consciousness.In modern times,as a typical city oppose to the countryside,the writing of Shanghai presents people's identity crisis and survival anxiety;Since the 1980s,the renewed urbanization has triggered people's spiritual shock again,and a new type of nostalgic narration has emerged;Since the 21st century,from the macro perspective of urban and rural areas,present and past,it has sunk to the level of urbanity,paying more attention to the life form and spiritual appearance of urban people.Urban writing still needs an emotional self enlightenment to construct the urban consciousness of the new era.
