A Study Of Novel Creation In 1920s And 1930s From The Perspective Of Shanghai Concession Culture

This paper starts with the relationship between the nature and characteristics of Shanghai concession space and culture and writers 'literary creation in 1920 s and 1930 s,and examines the internal and external influence of Shanghai concession space and culture on writers' literary practice.The literati practice activities are used as a reference to try to explore how the concession and culture as the active constructive factors of Shanghai culture influenced the literati's way of thinking,daily behavior,aesthetic tendency and aesthetics in the specific cultural and historical context of Shanghai in the1920 s and 1930 s.The pursuit is how to influence the generation of literary thoughts,the diversity of urban literary types and the narrative symptoms of certain literary types,in order to draw some conclusions that are slightly different from those of their predecessors.The full text is divided into six chapters,as follows:Chapter one,the introduction section mainly introduces the topic and significance of the thesis and the related literature review.First,sort out the special historical works and literatures of Chinese and foreign historians on the Shanghai Concession,and then roughly review the literary practice monographs and literature related to the urban culture related to the Shanghai Concession under the Shanghai style literature framework.And cultural literature.The second chapter specifically discusses the concept and characteristics of the concession space and culture,and the influence of concession space,especially the concession culture,on social values,lifestyles,social aesthetics,and the psychological mechanism of literature and practice.The characterization of the Shanghai Concession as a colonial space has different characteristics and characteristics from the Chinese realm that previously represented traditional Chinese social space.And the unique nature of this space disrupts the rhythm of Chinese traditional society's own development.The unique nature and culture of the Shanghai Concession Space have a profound impact on the whole society and literature.The thesis first introduces the history of the Shanghai Concession and its historical evolution process,and summarizes several events of turning significance in the history of the development of the Shanghai Concession.Next,it explains the concept and characteristics of the Shanghai Concession culture,from thethree dimensions of writer,work and reader.It explains the influence of the concession and its culture on the field of literature.The Shanghai concession and culture had a structural and functional significance for Shanghai's literary development in the 1920 s and 1930 s,and it had an inestimable effect on the literary appearance of this period.Borrowing the theory of Bourdieu's literary field,the entire Shanghai concession is considered as a literary field,and the multiple cultural types and background literati communities living in the literary field of the concession are considered as subfields in the literary field.The external dimensions and internal form of the combination of organic dimensions.In the late 1920 s,the cultural center of China moved south,and the concession-oriented Shanghai has undoubtedly won the central position of the modern Chinese literature.The Shanghai Concession provided numerous objective conditions for the generation of the literary field.Traditional literati in the Shanghai Concession realized the transformation to professional writers,and reconstructed a new type of public communication space model for literati.The development of the publishing industry in the Shanghai Concession has also provided economic and material guarantees for literati writers to achieve this identity change.For a period of time after 1927,Shanghai gathered literati of various cultural backgrounds.The main activities in the concession literature field were left-wing literati,southward-moving liberal literati,and Shanghai literati.By examining the "habits" of literati in different cultural backgrounds,the spatial distribution and activities of various literati in the Shanghai Concession are analyzed.The law of the activities of various literati in the concession space reflects their cultural position on the Shanghai concession,and also shows the calling and debugging effect of the literary field of the rental sector on various literati,which implies the uniqueness of Chinese writers in their respective fields.Cultural logic.The essence of the movement of various literati in the literary field of the concession is the struggle for symbolic capital in the Shanghai concession by various discourses of power.The third chapter,the Butterfly novels selected in this chapter are the Butterfly novels related to Shanghai's regional culture.It refers to those who are from Shanghai and later to Shanghai and Zhejiang provinces.They are closely related to Shanghai's regional culture works.Since Shanghai opened its port,the Shanghai Concession Space has broken the structure of traditional Chinese social space.And the nature of modern urbanspace and social structure gave birth to the modern class of citizens.The birth of the modern citizen class must have a literary form that matches its aesthetic taste.But the Butterfly novel of Shanghai,which represents popular literature,has flourished in such a social,historical,and cultural background.The urbanized new life in the Shanghai Concession provided abundant creative resources for the Butterfly novel.The new class of citizens has cultivated a large number of readers with potential for consumption for this kind of popular novels.The different aesthetic tendencies formed by the internal differences of the civil society have enriched the types of the original Butterfly novel novels.As the earliest novel to reflect the concession space in Shanghai,the butterfly novels played an enlightening role in the urban life of new immigrants to Shanghai.In Chapter 4,there is no doubt that Shanghai-style literature is most closely related to the Shanghai concession and culture.Shanghai style literature and the Shanghai Concession are actually a symbiotic relationship to a certain extent,which is a literary phenomenon based on specific regional culture.Therefore,the pursuit of aesthetic symptom in Shanghai style novels must be related to the Shanghai concession and culture.The prosperous material environment of the Shanghai Concession and the mature consumerism system provide an opportunity for this aestheticism to pursue,and the financial commerciality and consumerism of the unique culture of the Concession provides a suitable spiritual soil for the pursuit of aestheticism in Shanghai.The unique nature of the concession space also profoundly affected the aesthetic tendency and cognitive style of Shanghai-based writers living in the concession.It should be said that Shanghai-style writers intentionally chose aestheticism,a western imported literary trend of thought,to express the mapping reaction to the concession space.The aesthetic pursuit of this Shanghai style is expressed in the text as the pursuit of Jainism,the respect for the molding of inorganic female bodies and the intentional pursuit of vision in the text.The pursuit of aestheticism by Shanghai-based writers is not only embodied in literary practice,but also puts the aesthetic idea of aestheticism into practice in life.And this aesthetic life practice also unknowingly affected the construction of the text,making clothing decorations,cosmetics,and decorative arts into the text with independent meanings.The promotion of this aesthetic purpose has a net-like interaction with the western aestheticism and the cultural context of the Shanghai Concession.Chapter 5,Shanghai Metropolitan Literature,as a kind of regional literary experience,its production mechanism relies on the new commercial-based society and interpersonal relationships in the Shanghai Concession.In this sense,Shanghai-style novels must belong to urban literature.category.In the category of the history of Chinese modern literature,whenever the urban literature is mentioned,it must be the Shanghai style literature,especially the new sense style.Left-wing novels have been excluded from the perspective of urban literature for a long time because of their functional political ideology.However,in terms of the mechanism of their germination and development,the inherent logic and historical context of left-wing novels are both It cannot be separated from the mature urban space sample provided by the Shanghai Concession.Therefore,from this perspective,Neosensory novels and left-wing novels are the same origin.The "source" of the same origin refers to the concession that both were rooted in Shanghai's economic prosperity at the time.The symbiosis between left-wing urban novels and neo-sensualism has also led to the formation of symptom groups in left-wing novel narratives,such as the narrative subject split,revolution and love.As a new sensationist of true foreign-field novels,due to its efforts to keep pace with the trend of world literature,it inevitably has a cosmopolitan color,and in the emotional posture of the narration,it cannot avoid the self-oriental attitude.Chapter Six: In the history of Chinese literature in the 1920 s and 1930 s,the concession-oriented Shanghai became a well-deserved area with its geographical and unique cultural advantages,and its avant-garde,pluralistic,and commercial characteristics of urban literature.A model of sexual literature.Shanghai's concession culture is a very active factor in the construction of Shanghai's regional culture.The elements of the concession culture have long been infiltrated into the texture of Shanghai culture.Therefore,the influence of the concession culture is an issue that cannot be avoided in the creation of Shanghai urban literature.Judging from the modernization process,the concession culture has indeed given the impetus to the modern professionalism of literature and writers,but the concession culture,as a typical colonial culture,has indeed brought an inevitable effect on the regional literary creation centered on Shanghai.Negative effects of neglect.After 1949,the concession space completely disappeared,and Shanghai's regional literary tradition,which had a strong symbiosiswith the concession and concession culture,was interrupted.However,after entering the new era,especially since the mid-1990 s,the re-prosperity of Shanghai's economy has stimulated the writers' inner emotions to create with Shanghai as the theme,thus forming a wave of nostalgia in Shanghai.In the process of tracing and reconstructing Shanghai,the Shanghai in the 1920 s and 1930 s became an important cultural resource for rebuilding the new Shanghai.Shanghai's concessions and culture have been transformed into abstract academic concepts such as post-colonialism through the depletion of linear historical processes.In this so-called "post-colonialism" concept,it can be specifically and concretely regarded as "Concession" in the reconstruction of Shanghai's nostalgic literature boom.This "concessionality" affects the narrative content and speech style of future writers in an absent manner,and silently affects the creation of foreign novels in the new century.
