“现代性”视角下的穆时英小说创作

Mu Shiying's Novels from the Perspective of "Modernity"

作为“新感觉派”的代表作家之一,穆时英是一个不尊崇唯一价值观,有着多元艺术追求的知识分子。“现代性”是他的人生关键词,穆时英吸收“现代性”革新性、反传统性的特性实践于小说创作中,在创作时大量采用都市素材,歌颂现代物质文明,抒写都市人的细腻情感生活;其现代性不仅体现在小说表达两性欲望、书写新享乐主义、作为“象征”的回家、体察个人的命运这4个主题中,还体现在电影手法运用、大胆的语言实验、意识流书写、典型人物的小说技法上。由此可见,“现代性”已经渗透到了穆时英对这个世界的思考及观察的方式之中。

As one of the representative writers of the"Neo-sensorism",Mu Shiying is an intellectual who does not respect the only values and has diverse artistic pursuits."Modernity"is the key word of his life.Mu Shiying absorbed the innovative and anti-traditional characteristics of"Modernity"into his novel creation,and used lots of urban materials in his creation,praising modern material civilization,and expressing the exquisite emotional life of city people.Its modernity is not only reflected in the novel expression,writing new hedonism,"Home Symbol"and observing the fate of the individuals,but also reflected in the use of film techniques,bold language experiment,stream of consciousness writing and the novel techniques of typical characters.Thus,"Modernity"has penetrated into the way of Mu Shiying's thinking and observation of the world.
