沈从文的“现代性”与“反现代性”

Shen Congwen’s“Modernity”and“Anti-modernity”

沈从文在中国现代文学史上占有重要地位,但明确其思想与创作的“现代性”或“反现代性”却是沈从文研究的一大难题。从时间的角度以及沈从文的风景描写与“风景中的人”三个方面来看,沈从文具有“现代性”与“反现代性”并行的独特魅力。“现代性”与“反现代性”的矛盾两极在沈从文的作品中形成了极强的艺术与思想张力,这种张力来自于艺术领域的不二法则——真实,也造就了沈从文在现代文学史上的独特和耀眼。童庆炳先生倡导的“亦此亦彼”的思维方式,可以作为解决这一难题的一个切实的起点。

Shen Congwen holds a significant position in the history of modern Chinese literature.However,defining the“modernity”or“anti-modernity”of his thoughts and creations remains a challenging task in Shen Congwen studies.This paper examines Shen Congwen’s unique charm in both“modernity”and“antimodernity”through the lens of time,his depictions of landscapes,and the role of individuals within those landscapes.The tension between“modernity”and“anti-modernity”creates a strong artistic and intellectual force within Shen Congwen’s works,which derives from the fundamental principle of art-authenticity.This tension also contributes to Shen Congwen’s distinctive and dazzling presence in the history of modern literature.The“both-and”thinking advocated by Mr.Tong Qingbing can serve as a practical starting point for resolving this issue.
