二十世纪中国文学中的人性变迁

现代中国文学中的人性书写经历了20世纪的历史变化,中国古典意义上的人性书写向现代意义上的人性书写转化。这个过程既与中国古典人性意向相悖,又在某种程度上向其回归;既移植着西方人性话语,又修正着其与中国传统人性话语不相融合的部分。但20世纪中国文学始终没有弄清中国古典人性话语和西方人性话语两者之间的关系,所以一直陷于两者的困惑和牵制中,至市场化年代,走上被利益化和欲望化所控制的极端。在中国市场化意识形态与现实生存紧密一体化的语境中,文学仍然迷失在现实中,没有形成独立的文学人性空间和书写意识。

Transformations to human nature reflected in the Chinese literature of the 20th century

Representation of human nature in Chinese literature experienced a historical transfer in the 20th century from being classical to being modern This process assumes both a disagreement to the classical Chinese mentality about human nature and a return to the truth in a sense. Western views on human nature were introduced into China in the process though, revisions were made to adapt them to the Chinese context. However, for lack of a clear recognition of the relationship between the two in the 20th century the Chinese literature is now facing a dilemma, featuring benefit and desire-orientation in the current age of market economy. The Chinese literature is clearly at a loss in the context of market ideology and subsistence reality, thus no independent space and awareness for representation of human nature has been established.
