Abstract/Summary:
The youth literature creation of the "post-80s" generation is controversial because of its marketization background and alternative writing attitude.The object of this paper is the sentimental sentiment in the youth literature of the early "post-80" generation.On the one hand,influenced by consumer culture and cultural market,the early youth literature of the "post-80s" shows the sentimental tendency of typified and patterned,and the distinct narcissistic mood and the aesthetic taste of "Xiaozi" class in its spiritual core.On the other hand,due to sincere self-expression,the timely response to the symptoms of The Times,It has some positive significance.This thesis mainly consists of the following parts:The first chapter from the overall and local two aspects,aimed at the early "post-80" youth literature sentimental writing carried on a brief exposition.In the early years of the new century,the "post-80" youth literature’s sentimental writing experienced a process from pioneer to normal.Around 2006,sentimental aesthetic style no longer appears in youth literature as a collective aesthetic tendency.This chapter not only from the aspects of character image,plot pattern,language style,to explore some common characteristics of the early "post-80" youth literature sentimental writing,but also does not cover up the representative writers’ creative personality.Guo Jingming and Zhang Yueran,as the "grandmaster" of the "post-80" youth literature sentimental writing,have distinct personal style when expressing sentimental sentiment.The second chapter,from the perspective of the theme content,discusses the origin of sentimental writing in the early "post-80" youth literature,as well as the connotation of the sentimental writing.In general,sentimental young-adult literature focuses on themes such as reminiscences of the past,the frustrations of growing up as a teenager,bad relationships,or the shock of love.Ignoring grand narrative and paying attention to individual experience is a common tendency of the "post-80" youth literature writers in the early stage of creation.In the third chapter,from the artistic construction and narrative techniques,the author discusses how the "post-80s" creative subjects express personalized experience with the help of aesthetic forms.The prose culture and poetic characteristics of the works are not unrelated to the Co-creator’s tendency to emphasize emotional expression over plot and characters.To be specific,these two kinds of characteristics are mainly embodied in the structure of "scattered but together",the poetic art of language,the selection of unique images and the construction of the overall artistic conception.From the perspective of narrative techniques,presenting the world in the eyes of marginal subjects from an internal perspective is conducive to the direct expression and sincere expression of emotions.The flexible change of narrative time not only presents the story context completely,but also reflects the overall sentimental style incisively and vividly.The fourth chapter takes sentimental sentiment as the starting point,and combs the trend of youth narration since the contemporary age,then makes a comparative study of them with the "post-80" youth literature.In the field of fiction,"May Fourth" literature,"Revolution and love" literature,educated youth literature and "post-80" youth literature all constitute a largescale youth narrative trend in modern and contemporary literature history,and all present a distinct sentimental aesthetic style.An investigation into the sentimental evolution of these narrative trends is helpful to discover the literary traditions and innovations inherited by the "post-80" youth literature when expressing sentimental feelings.In the last section of this chapter,the general evaluation is made on the sentimental writing of the "post-80" youth literature.
