加速时代的上海叙述与慢速美学——以金宇澄《繁花》为中心

Shanghai Narration and Slow Aesthetics in the Accelerated Era:Centered on Jin Yucheng's Flowers

“速度”问题其实是一个“现代性”问题。在“加速”的现代中国社会,《繁花》以缓急有度的叙事节奏,呈现独特的“慢速美学”:一是“慢”是小说人物行动、言谈的高频词汇;“讲好中国故事”的舒缓节奏与缓慢时间;语言之美与缓慢的节奏。二是“激进现代性”与“小时代”的“快”之下仍然坚韧的“民间”,呈现了“加速时代”底下缓慢、稳定、生机勃勃的人民的“生活常道”。总的来说,《繁花》以充满纵深感的“速度”书写克服了当代的稀薄时间与碎片化体验,为加速时代的文学提供了“慢速美学”的创作经验。

The question of"speed"is actually a question of"modernity".In the"accelerated"modern Chinese society,Flowers presents a unique""slow modernity"with a slow and moderate narrative rhythm.Firstly,"being slow"is the high-frequency vocabulary for the characters"actions and words,which lies in the slow tempo and slow pace of"telling the Chinese story well",the charm of the language and the slow rhythm.Secondly,it demonstrates the tenacious folk nature in the context of the"being fast"'of the radical modernity"and"small age",showing the"normal way of life"of the slow,stable and dynamic people in the"accelerated era.In general,Flowers overcomes the thin time and fragmented experience in contemporary era with a profound sense of the"speedy"writing,and provides a writing experience of""slow aesthetics"for the literature in a speedyera.
