汉语语境中的审美现代性问题

Problem of Aesthetic Modernity in the Linguistic Context of the Chinese Language

本文试图突破将中国等同于传统、将西方等同于现代的学术范式,以中国近代文学中的浪漫主义为主要考察对象,从浪漫主义与审美现代性的密切关联入手,揭示了审美现代性在汉语语境中产生的文化渊源、具体内涵、历史意义。以此说明审美现代性问题不仅仅是西方独特的文化现象,而且也是内在于中国美学发展的历程之中的。而在考察中国审美现代性问题的时候,就不应该仅从西方着眼,还应该考虑到中国文学自身因素,不仅要看到中国浪漫主义作家所受到的外国文化的影响,还应该注意到本民族文化的传承性在现代作家身上所发挥的作用以及所表现出的文化姿态。

This article attempts to break through the academic model that China equals to tradition, while the West is modernity. Regarding romanticism in Chinese modern literature as the main target of observation, it reveals the cultural origin, concrete cannotations and historic significance of aesthetic modernity in Chinese linguistic context, starting with close relation of romanticism and aesthetic modernity. With this article, the author explains that aesthetic modernity is not merely a unique culture phenomenon of the West, but also a problem existing in the course of Chinese aesthetic development. When observing Chinese aesthetic modernity problems, however, we should not only have the west in mind, but consider the factors of Chinese literature as well. Meanwhile, we should take into consideration the influence of foreign culture on Chinese romantic writers and pay attention to the literary attitudes and the effect of national cultural succession on modern writers. 
