二十世紀中國現代文學與文化建構

臺北科技大學 115-1 學期課程,課號 366881。

課程大綱

This course adapts a genealogy perspective and begins with a general overview of modern Chinese literature as a journey of discovery. The course will start with an introduction of A new literary history of modern China edited by Wang David Der-wei Wang (王德威), and then review how Wang succeeded Chih-tsing Hsia’s (夏志清) work to present a new, diversify, and historically poetic version of Chinese literature history. This course will take these authors as cases for discussion, mapping Lu Hsun (魯迅)and Eileen Chang (張愛玲). With further navigating their positions in the literary genealogy, the lecturer aims to address how their literary works construct contemporary culture. In addition, two films, Spring in a Small Town and New Women, will be discussed in order to understand the cultural situation at that time. 本課程將以華語譜系為視角,以中國現代文學的總體概述為起始,進行一場發現之旅。課程將以王德威的《哈佛新編中國現代文學史》切入,介紹王德威如何繼承夏志清的工作,呈現新格局、輻射的、「史蘊詩心」的中國文學史呈現。課程中將著重介紹魯迅、張愛玲的文學地位,解釋他們在文學系譜上承前啟後的位置,以各種面向來看待文學作品對於當代文化建構的貢獻。此外,也將特別探討《小城之春》與《新女性》兩部電影,以了解當時的文化情境。
