物欲的困扰与心灵的挣扎--徐坤城市题材小说论

以往对徐坤小说的研究中,对她创作中所揭示的社会转型期与知识分子“边缘化”问题、商业文化与男权文化境遇中的城市女性的生存困境与精神困境两个方面论的研究论述比较普遍深入,而对徐坤小说中所揭示的城市化进程中城市的变迁及城市人的异化现象和都市文明病关注、论述甚少,实际上,徐坤小说的背景是城市,因此,徐坤的小说对90年代以来,商品经济大潮中城市人面临的价值观的变迁、物欲的困扰和精神的异化及现代城市文明病等也有切身的感受,并在其创作中有独特的思考与文学表达。

Troubled by the Desire for Material Comfort and Struggling in the Depths of the Heart--on XU Kun's Novels of the City Theme

The previous studies of XN Kun's novels usually focus on the problems with the social transition period and the intellectual's "periphralizaion" and on the difficult living positions and difficult mental position of city women in the business culture and the male chauvinism culture.However,these studies are seldom concerned about the urban transformation in the process of urbanization and the alienation of city dwellers and the disease of urban civilization that are revealed in XU Kun's novels.In fact,with the city as the setting of his novels,XU Kun's novels express her personal feelings about the change of values that city dwellers face,about the troubles caused by the desire of material comfort and the disease of urban civilization in the surging tide of commodity economy since 1990s,and her novels also contain her reflection and literary expression.
