The rise of youth is among the most dramatic stories of modern China. Since the last years of the Qing dynasty, youth has been made a new agent of history in Chinese intellectuals’ visions of national rejuvenation through such tremendously popular notions as “young China” and “new youth.” The characterization of a young protagonist with a developmental story has also shaped the modern Chinese novel. Young China takes youth as a central literary motif that was profoundly related to the ideas of nationhood and modernity in twentieth-century China. A synthesis of narrative theory and cultural history, it combines historical investigations of the origin and development of the modern Chinese youth discourse with close analyses of the novelistic construction of the Chinese Bildungsroman, which depicts the psychological growth of youth with a symbolic allusion to national rejuvenation. Negotiating between self and society, ideal and action, and form and reality, such a narrative manifests as well as complicates the various political and cultural symbolisms invested in youth through different periods of modern Chinese history. In this story of young China, the restless, elusive, and protean image of youth both perpetuates and problematizes the ideals of national rejuvenation.
Boring.
评分有一些观点很启发
评分之前很为这本书的问题意识折服。后来系统读钱理群作品时发现钱老1994年有一篇文章叫《青春是可怕的》,反倒讲得更清楚了一些。 这本书对40年代的开掘是不足够的,结尾遽然引入科幻也算是夹带私货。所以客观讲,这本书的贡献还是主要在20/30年代借叶圣陶、茅盾、巴金的小说文本讲出来的故事。
评分以点带面把文学主体的小我和国家政治主体的大我(们)的重影从文本中拉出来,晚晴部分显得单薄了,有大量的时政报论没有引入,更多是为了“少年中国”的民族国家之路做铺垫。对巴金、茅盾的分析可圈可点。
