摘要
晚清、"五四"小说家都有新旧时间意识,但小说家的新旧时间意识与文本表述之间出现了悖离。晚清"新小说"家们面对民族危机四伏,仍然有极大政治热情,畅想未来,而民初、"五四"小说家们面对辛亥革命之后成立的中华民国,越来越陷入时间的困境,无路可走。不可否认的是,受时代变迁的影响,民初、"五四"时期的作家思想越来越现代,但辛亥革命未能真正达到彻底改造中国的目的,这一失败带来了新的创伤,使他们对时代更加焦虑。如果说晚清小说是用"白日梦"链接新旧时间,缝合"过去"与"未来",以便形成一个看似连贯的进化时间线,那么"五四"小说却无法呈现新的时间——未来,只有用"梦"迷醉自己,却又是醒着的,因为"五四"先觉者对新旧时间的体悟更为强烈。
The novelists of both the late Qing Dynasty and the May 4^th Movement had the consciousness of the new and old time,but there was a deviation between novelists’consciousness of the new and old time and its textural expression.In the face of national crisis,writers of"new novels"in the late Qing Dynasty still enjoyed great political enthusiasm and boasted rosy visions about the future;while novelists of the early Republic of China and the May 4^th movement were increasingly trapped in the dilemma of time and were at a loss when faced with the Republic of China founded in the wake of the revolution of 1911.It is undeniable that,under the impact of changes of the era,the writers of the early Republic of China and the May 4^th Movement became more and more modern in their thinking,but the Revolution of 1911 failed to achieve the goal of completely transforming China,thus bringing new trauma to writers and making them more anxious about the era.If the novels of the late Qing Dynasty link the old time with the new time through"daydreams",and stitch up the past and the future to form a seemingly coherent evolutionary time line,then the novels of the May 4^th Movement can not present a new time as a future—in the future,one would only be intoxicated with"dreams"from which one would be awake again,because the forerunners of the"May 4^th Movement"had a stronger understanding of the old and new time.
