时空观的变迁与文学经验的现代性

Spacial and Temporal Awareness and Modernity

'现代性'是有效描述和解释中国20世纪文学经验的概念,它将20世纪文学与古典文学做了内在的区分。构成'现代性'最根本内核的,是在西方影响下的新时空观。随着线性时间观而兴起的进步史观,随着新的地理概念而出现的全球视野,深刻改变了中国传统的时空概念。也带来了新的生存危机和生命体验,形成日益复杂的个人经验与公共经验,这些经验借助现代媒体、现代语言文字(白话文)和现代小说形式化为文学经验,使'人'的文学,'平民'的文学等带有启蒙性质的新文学理念得到广泛的传播,并逐渐形成了新型民族国家的意识形态,也创造了一种可以发现'新'的现代人因素与现代社会生活的美学形式。本文对时空观的变迁脉络做了初步的清理,以期深入理解文学经验之社会化、国家化和个人化之间的相互关系及其发展轨迹。
