论茅盾《子夜》的空间叙事

On the Spatial Narrative in Mao Dun's Midnight

空间是茅盾《子夜》结构故事的主要形式。不同物理空间的聚集形成不同的利益群体,进而形成阶级斗争的基础。空间的政治属性决定了私密空间对公共空间的支配,也显示出资本的决定作用,从这个意义上说,吴荪甫等人与赵伯韬“斗法”失败正是民族工业命运的真实写照。茅盾以忠实于现实的原则展示出20世纪30年代初期各个阶级的真实生存现状,同时,也以情欲叙事的张扬使以政治为主导的文学场达到了暂时的相对平衡,从而使《子夜》成为一部成功的作品。

Space is the main form that organizes the story structure of Mao Dun's Midnight.The aggregation of different physical spaces forms different interest groups and then the basis of class struggle.The political nature of space determines the control of private space over public space and also shows the decisive role of capital.In this sense,the failure of Wu Sunfu and the others'“fighting”against Zhao Botao is an authentic portrayal of the fate of the national industry.Adhering to the principle of faithfulness to reality,Mao Dun shows the real living status of all classes at the beginning of the 1930s.Meanwhile,the explicit erotic narration temporarily balances the politics-oriented literature field,which makes Midnight a success.
