当代中国城市文学的困境及其批判

On the Deficiency of Urban Literature in China and its Critique

当代中国,由于城市的大肆扩张,使西方几百年间形成的对现代性的研究成果被囫囵吞枣地接受,文学也呈现出中西合璧、古今混杂的局面,以至于迄今仍找不到合适的概念来对这种现象进行命名。若从主题学的视角概括当代中国城市文学,可将其主题大致分为四个类别:底层苦难、道德理想主义、切身性叙事和理性缺失。本文拟以这四个主题为线索,分析当代中国城市文学的现状,希冀触摸到一条中国文学发展的道路。

Contemporary China,for cities expanding,has seen modernity,research originating in the West,hastily and broadly received.Literature accordingly,is presenting itself in such a way as to striking people as a hybrid of both East/West and Ancient/Modern blending,a phenomenon defying conceptualization.From the perspective of thematology,contemporary Chinese urban literature can be broken down into four categories,namely grass-roots hardship,moral idealism,somatizing narrativity and deficiency of rationality.This paper aims at screening out a path of the development of Chinese literature,with a method on covering all the domains upon key points,through an analysis of the status quo of contemporary Chinese urban literature.
