Liu Naou,Mu Shiying,Shi Zhecun are the most prominent authors of new sensibility novel "Body Rhetoric" in history of modern Chinese literature.They reconstructed the metaphor system,and by narrative in angle of view of female body, they constructed a unique characteristics of living space for men and women under special consumer era.In fact,because the culture collusion with powers,the male writers still practice the traditional narrative strategies to avoid elaborate on the female body,and perfuse original desire into every pore of the female body.Absence of male desire results in the imbalance of gender between men and women against the men to the surface of the object purely on him to finish those type of women to take the initiative to unreasonable allegations,modern women will fall into this trap of the narrative,and the final purpose of male authors is to defend their hegemony of culture and literature.In preface,the innovative point of this article is from overview of research actuality of new sensibility novel.Most Shanghai Literature at 1930's era and new sensibility are absorbed in city culture,modern body metaphor and so on,but I believe that the cultural criticism need to be opened up to a more wide range and depth,and new sensibility novel will make cultural criticism has more angle.In this paper,The concept of "body rhetoric" is trying to provide new research angle for new sensibility novel to cultural criticism of enchanting under modern sky.The first chapter trace the history of "body rhetoric" to define the concept.From rhetorical theory of classical authors found traditional rhetoric used by male authors, combined with the female body image of "Flowers of Evil" in west and impact from Japan's new sense novel,to find theoretical basis and actual source for "body rhetoric" of Shanghai writer's in 1903's era.Chapterâ…¡is concerned about the consumer culture of the "female body." First of all,together with consumption era,modern girl appeared in Shanghai.Such a strong female role appears shaken the male-centered pattern of the city,so as the "disgust of female disease" syndrome,the male writers were beginning to reconstruct the image of modern female body.Performance for the following four aspects:the image of imagination,of imagination goods,animals and imagination,imagine demonizedChapterâ…¢focuses on the eventually point of body rhetorical strategies.In the confrontation between "see" and "be seen",men get the initiative of criticism to the female body,even initiative of imagine.Use men's thinking and personal experience to alleviate the tension and anxiety from the gender imbalance.There is a deep collusion of culture and value behind male author's rhetorical strategy for female body.Male writer's "body rhetoric" against female body has been described in a "re-establishment of the General Value of women",while the female body just been twisted for consumer entertainment and play.As a backwash of such power,only real concern about the real female body,and give women their own language so they can break through this existence of dissidents.General part revealed that,in accordance with the development of modern urban civilization characteristics,Liu Naou,Mu Shiying,Shi Zhecun implantat the new consumer time factor into imagination of female body,whether the narrative or demonized figures way of narrative,both build a "rhetoric" Imagine space for men authors.Men use their own experience to achieve the Rhetoric and value orientation, and thus expressed concern over the "voice" of women groups,exist as a hollow body of the cultural destiny.
