Chinese Contemporary Literature With A Background Of Anxiety Of Identity

Identity, is a very complex concept that closely related to the discovery of subjectivity in modern times, It's also a concept which developed from special field particularly from the Psychoanalytical school. Identity originally belongs to the psychology field and then moves to some much wider fields such as the society and the history fields. Under the background of the linguistics philosophy turning, identity pays more attention to the practical ways of linguistics. Based on this, literature and identity closely contacted to each other, including literature expression identity and literature influence and structure identity. We try to provide a special scene to this kind of contact, that is to put it into the language background of China modern literature and try to analyze the identity anxiety which come into being from the 1940th in our Chinese people's mental field, especially the identity of themselves and the identity of the whole nation, how does this identities exhibit themselves during such a long literature history and what is the characteristics of this exhibition? Bringing these questions here we choose to study on LuXun. In Lu Xun's life and his writing practice, he never give up pursuing the subjectivity of human being. What he is really desire for is the appearance of "real human "who have got rid of all the shackle which tied by themselves, even including the whole nation. However, the sense of national responsibility which used to be the characteristics of the Chinese traditional clerisy is still stay with LuXun, he insists that the subjectivity and the self-determination of our individuals is exactly the only way to establish a modern nation-stat. that is a paradox, but they can unify so harmoniously in LuXun's ideality. The contents of China 's contemporary literature is mainly about the double identity anxiety in individuals and the whole nation, and in fact, the last one is especially plays an quite important role all the time, that means the worry about our own nation is far beyond the pursuing the subjectivity, this is more a feeling of being, and we can see this in many literature expressions. Besides that, from the subject structure aspect to see Chinese contemporary literature itself also face the difficult situation of identifying, mainly embody in the multi-anxiety between traditional and contemporary, literary and political. This anxiety do not disappear in contemporary society, mover over, it has the tendency to become more and more strongly, thus, literary identity in the background of globalize has become a new subject and the foundation of cultural subjectivity is also bring on agenda.
