半殖民体验与晚清民族国家文学的主体性建构

Semi-colonial Experience and Construction of Subjectivity in Late Qing Nationstate Literature

现代文学研究的民族国家文学命题需要在半殖民体验中重审。晚清文本在殖民西方认知中,试图移植西欧范式的民族国家文学,实现反殖文本的建构。但在帝国内陆文化传统隐脉的影响下,晚清文本中的民族国家成为再次通往世界大同的途径,实则表明了西欧范式在中国本土的不适用性;因晚清文本生成于沿海都市社会,在缺少对内陆农村的主体认知前提下,晚清文人未完成“殖民西方”认知中民族国家文学的主体性建构。

The proposition of nation-state literature in modern literary research needs to be re-examined in the context of semi-colonial experience.The texts of the late Qing Dynasty tried to transplant the nation-state literature of the Western European paradigm into the colonial Western cognition and realize the construction of anti-colonial texts.Under the influence of the hidden cultural traditions of the inland empire,the nation-state in the late Qing texts became a way to world unity again,which actually showed the inapplicability of the Western European paradigm in China.However,because the late Qing texts were produced on the coast in urban society,in the absence of a subjective understanding of inland rural areas,late Qing literati did not complete the subjective construction of nation-state literature in their understanding of the"colonial West".
