Modernity Anxiety And Reflection

As a transitional society between urban and rural areas,small cities carry the process of China’s modernization.Since the new century,a group of "Post-70s" female writers,who have the growth background and cultural gene of small town life and live in big cities,have placed their creative eyes on the small town society in China,paying attention to the development paradox in the process of Modernization: on the one hand,they are eager to realize their own modernization;on the other hand,they are full of doubts and hesitations about the changes in the process Not yet.At the same time,the Post-70 s female writers have some contradictions in their views on the modernization of small cities: on the one hand,they criticize and reject the alienated landscape and behavior in their pursuit of modernization,while they are full of imagination and praise for the pre modern civilization;on the other hand,they are worried about the backward status of small cities and their self-restraint,eager to achieve poetic modernization.This contradictory situation is based on the depressive expression of the writer’s modernity anxiety and the external expression of modernity reflection,and then the modernity anxiety and reflection has become the internal driving force of small town writing,generating a rich and complex text world,as well as a useful perspective and theory for our text analysis."Small town" is the hometown of modern people,including writers.It has not only the material factors of time and space,but also the spiritual fields of memory and ethics.It has not only the realistic existence perception,but also the emotional support in the abstract sense.When in the social context of pursuing economic efficiency and technological civilization,the shift and decline of hometown in time and space become the inevitable result of the pursuit of modernization,modern people can not find a familiar real home,but also can not get spiritual comfort.Therefore,the sense of crisis that the home is not in the space level and the sense of strangeness that the home is alienated in the time level have become the most representative anxiety of modern people,that is,the space anxiety and the time anxiety have become the important representations of modern anxiety.The anxiety of external time and space leads usto the internal ethics;the disorder of external time and space makes us yearn for the order of internal ethics."After 70" female writers reflect on the internal ethics of small cities,and express their demands for the establishment of a new ethical order in the return and imagination of traditional ethics.However,no matter the expression of time and space anxiety or the reflection and reconstruction of small town ethics,all implied the internal modernization pursuit of the "post-70" female writers.This paper is divided into five chapters:In the first chapter,from the perspective of space anxiety,the author makes a multi-dimensional research on the modern town writing of the "Post-70s" female writers in the new century.Based on the analysis of the writing of the small town’s geographical space by the female writers,this paper analyzes the two opposite groups of small town’s landscape spaces: critical modern landscape(hair salon,factory)and poetic small town landscape(street,gate,courtyard),which shows the alienation of the small town’s living space and the writer’s poetic imagination of the small town’s space,and then through the emotional space "breakthrough" and The writing of the two transfer modes of "barrier" shows the rootless living anxiety of the contemporary small town people.Finally,by comparing the different images of the small town described in the two narrative spaces of "my city" and "other city",it expresses the writer’s emotional contradiction to the small town.The second chapter starts from the angle of time anxiety,and compares two kinds of contradictory life time and development speed of small cities,one is the stagnant time reflected in daily life,the other is the imbalance of time and development speed caused by the urgent demand for modernization.When the linear development of "fast" modernization of small cities collides with the slow speed of daily life of small cities,the panic and anxiety of small cities will arise.Under the influence of this kind of panic and anxiety,the writer fell into nostalgia for the past,in order to resist the linear development of modern time.The third chapter explores the author’s reflection and reconstruction of small town ethics in the modern anxiety.In the reflection of the old feudal ethics or the unreasonable modern ethics,the female writers of the "Post-70s" narrated the depression of the Gender Ethics and the contradiction of the existence ethics in the small cities,so as to return to the separatedtradition,to find the awe of the life ethics in the disenchanted modern society,and to rebuild the inclusiveness of the Folk Ethics in the modernity of the tool rationality.In the reflection and reconstruction of small town ethics,it embodies the author’s spirit of reflection on modern morality and expresses the writer’s urgent demand for the establishment of a new ethical order.The fourth chapter goes deep into the female writer’s spiritual subject,and analyzes the modern significance and pursuit of her small town writing.In the writing of small cities,the "Post-70s" female writers expressed the ecological aesthetics of natural harmony,emphasized the protection of ecological civilization and the maintenance of the relationship between human and natural harmonious development in the development of modern industry;they took the initiative to observe the natural human nature,and showed the natural human nature of small cities based on the good through the comparison of the present agent civilization;they showed the natural human nature of small cities based on the good The recollection of traditional culture and the introspection of its awkward situation in modern society aim to establish the self-identity of national culture in the context of globalization and cultural diversity in the new century.We sum it up as the writer’s pursuit of ecological aesthetics,humanistic consideration of natural human nature,and hard adherence to traditional culture in the literary texts of small cities.These are exactly the reflection spirit of modernity and the inner embodiment of modernity pursuit of "post-70" female writers,as well as the writer’s expectation and expectation for the healthy development of small cities’ modernization.This paper starts from the writing of the small town written by the "Post-70s" female writers,and takes the anxiety and reflection of modernity as the starting point to go deep into the modernity spirit of the "Post-70s" female writers.With all kinds of contradictions and development paradoxes of small town modernization,the author returns to the simple nature of small town civilization and the profundity of traditional culture to seek contemporary spiritual support and emotional consolation,and in the anxiety of time and space and the reflection of ethics,he re examines and observes the ecological,social and cultural dangers faced by small town in the modernization development from a dialectical perspective Machine,so as to express and hope for the future of small cities and the healthy development of the modernization of small cities.
