A Study Of Lu Nei’s Works From The Perspective Of Postmodernism

At the beginning of the 40 s of the 20 th century,western postmodernism emerged from the bud and gradually spread to philosophy,architecture,psychology,literature,sociology,history and other fields,challenging and impacting traditional concepts with new pluralistic thinking and deconstruction methods.In the 80 s of the 20 th century,postmodernism landed in China,which has had a certain impact on literature from the new period to the present.At the same time,with the rapid change and development of China’s economy,culture,science and technology and other fields,the social landscape has undergone tremendous changes in just a few decades.This variability is somewhat intrinsically similar to the characteristics of uncertainty and fluidity in postmodern cultural thought,which allows us to observe the world and life from a postmodern perspective.As a "post-70s" writer who grew up at the forefront of development,with a rich experience from worker to advertiser to writer,Lu Nei has experienced new experiences both materially and spiritually in the era of change.In the meanwhile,he is influenced by the western postmodern literature and the works with postmodern characteristics in the new period of China,and has had many displays in his creation.But,as many critics have argued,there is still a question mark over whether there is a standard postmodern novel in China.The soil for the emergence of western postmodern cultural thought is very different from China,and although both have an inherent tendency to subvert tradition,the cause,purpose and result can be said to be fundamentally different,which is also clearly shown in Lu Nei’s works.Although his works have postmodern factors,it is not postmodern novels.Faced with the limitations of postmodern relativism and skepticism,Lu Nei is actively constructing in the search for the value and meaning of the individual and life and the reshaping of subjectivity.During the construction process,Lu Nei repeatedly tortures himself,humanity and the world.He realizes the transcendence of the individual and the sublimation of the spirit in the elucidation and thinking of contradictions.Therefore,from a postmodern perspective,this paper takes Lu Nei’s novels as the main object of study,combining theoretical analysis and close reading of the texts,and summarizes the typical postmodern characteristics of Lu Nei’s novels.At the narrative level,it is manifested in the dislocation and uncertainty contained in the ironic rhetoric and black humor style,the discontinuity of narrative time and space,and the incoherence,absurdity and contingency of the narrative plot.At the conceptual level,it is manifested in challenging traditional forms,images and concepts in the writing of metafiction deformation,marginal man and irrational feelings of life,etc.Finding the truth of writing and individuals in rebellion.At the same time,this paper delves into the orientation of overcoming the limitations of postmodern contained in Lu Nei’s works,i.e.the reconstruction of individual subjectivity,autonomy and creativity on the basis of the pursuit of the good things such as deep emotions and individual dignity,and thus a certain construction is made.In addition,this paper also explores the multivariate thinking highlighted in the construction,and further summarizes the writer’s thinking and search for individual values and the meaning of life in the speculation of the contradictions caused by the nihilism and the tragedy of existence,reveals the transcendence contained in it that endows the individual with the strong power of survival,and feels the unique vigor and vitality of his works.
