内容简介

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.

评论 ······
青年的象征建构和成长的叙事展开；倚重巴赫金、卢卡奇、莫雷蒂对于成长小说和现代性的批评，但往往在讨论中强调中国成长叙事的inconclusiveness而不是closure
和自己想做的有重合之处，读过以后有些失望
和自己所做题目多有交集，科幻小说的引入振奋人心，成长主题的梳理也挺有意思，突然觉得茅盾他们也挺有可读之处了
