《长恨歌》中的都市文化表征

The Urban Cultural Representation in the Song of Everlasting Sorrow

《长恨歌》是第五届茅盾文学奖获奖作品,小说以上海为故事发生场域,讲述主人公王琦瑶传奇又落寞的一生,以小人物视角展现上海在历史长河中的沉浮和变迁。小说中的典型都市景观和多元文化符码,成为理解城市文化的重要媒介;日常生活叙事则暗含了市民阶层独有的文化心理,以及消费文化支配下的物质主义和身体意识。

Song of Everlasting Sorrow is the award-winning work of the 5th Mao Dun Literature Award.The novel takes Shanghai as the scene of the story,tells the legendary and lonely life of the protagonist Wang Qiyao,and shows the ups and downs and changes of Shanghai in the long river of history from the perspective of small characters.The typical urban landscape and multicultural symbols in the novel become an important medium for understanding urban culture.The narrative of daily life implies the unique cultural psychology of the citizen class,as well as the materialism and body consciousness dominated by consumer culture.
