당대문화여왕삭
Chinese contemporary culture constructions have been in a much-complicated social and cultural content : There is strained relations between modernizing and nationalizing, secular spirit and human culture spirit, history scales and moral scales, practical rationality and value rationality, etc。 Wangshuo has been appeared to the stage which is full of dilemma and anxiety。 Wangshuo has been misread as a symbol of rebellion as soon as he appears。 So he burdens historical heavy responsibility。 In fact, Wangshuo affirms value models of mother current culture with a concealed means。
Part 1 The cultural context of Wangshuo’ s appearance : Meanings arise by clashing with elite culture
Following the starting of modernized projects with Chinese characteristics, secular and commercial time has already come。 These different views on these developing secular society, cultural form and value ideas, has been the mark of intellectuals’ internal division in 1990’ s。 This fact is crystallized in the discussion about the human culture spirit of 90’ s。 It is the intellectuals’ response which is worth paying much attention to。 This response originates from contemporary society and culture and intellectuals’ identity crisises, and it is a kind of self-reflection and resistance of intellectuals against their marginal status。 With a opposing human culture and heretical pose, Wangshuo’ s appearance must become the target of public censure。 Much less Wangshuo’ s merciless、 denounced attitude towards intellectuals ? The advocators of “human culture spirit ” refutes Wangshuo to the last point that reflects their anxieties、 dissatisfaction and resistance against marginal status。
Part 2 Fault on the right side : Text analysis as an example of deconstruction
The deconstruction thought has two stratums : One is selfevident ; The other is latent。 As a practical operation, the deconstruction’ internal stratum is mainly symbolized in meanings of texts。 It means that originally enlighted and great theme narration has been dissembled, as well as living fable and profound narration。 These make narration fragmentary, meanings vacant and profundity to be abolished。 The other writing means of deconstruction is that expressing its antiphrasis、 tense and taunt。 (example for Zhuwen、 Xukun、 Qiu Huadong ) The deconstruction strategy of Wangshuo has been developed by words and ended by deconstructing concepts or meanings completely。
Wangshuo develops his word deconstruction in two ways : One is disposing words。 This results in changing of the original backgrounds of words and brings an effects as rhetoric。 To present words is the other ways。 By the context, Wangshuo teases and ridicules some value prohibitions、 extant orders and established powers。
By placing the elastic word space, Wangshuo diminishes the core of confrontation and intensity of words。 He takes the context as a word play between “an adult” and “a child” 。 And so he reaches his intents of diminishing softly politics and history。
Part 3 Narcissism and being humiliated : To classicalize the townspeople ideology
The mass culture in behalf of Wangshuo is only an echo of mother current culture。 Because his characters fall into the same order, in which external no-value hides internal value orientation, and because some same acts which lack of vital force and individuality serve general trend at last。 Wangshuo’ s characters indulge in counting on themselves with a affirmative means, and they deal with historical oppress with a dizzy means。 In another word, they get pleasant sensation by narcissism and being humiliated simultaneously。
As redeeming the re-vans of Wangshuo’ s works, it is important to point out this trend of expressing being-humiliated by narcissism。
