Though the beginning of the naming of "Post-80s" writing has been controversial,in the course of the more than 10 years of development,it has shown the intergenerational characteristics of cultural perspectives and more "serious literature" quality.Since 2006,a number of "Post-80s" writers have launched their transformation work,which has been gradually clearing out from the range of "youth writing" and turning to "socialization".Since 2010,a part of "80s" writers who grew up from pure literary journals began to attract literary attention,which enriched the overall landscape of "Post-80s" writing and shown a more obvious tendency to move closer to the mainstream literary circles.The research object of this thesis is the change of the theme of "Post-80s" writing and its spiritual characteristics.The spiritual change of the theme of the "Post-80s" writing is caused by spiritual rheology of "Post-80s" writers.Therefore,the author use the psychological theory of the "Ego identity" to expound "Post-80s" writers' conceptual change of their "self-awareness",then analyze the spiritual change of the theme of"Post-80s" writing and its internal reasons.In the introduction part,the author firstly cardings "Post-80s" writing's diachronic change to ascertain stage characteristics of the past two transitions and outline the current situation of academic research,then expounds the concept of "intergeneration" in cultural perspective,and finally,the author expounds the spiritual similarities of "self-identity"theory and "Post-80" writing,and define the reference scope of this theory in this paper.The first chapter is based on the problem of "Post-80s" writers'cognitive level of self-identity,discussing the changes of their writing themes and postures.With the establishment and enhancement of "Post-80s" writers' self-consciousness,the theme of"Post-80s" writings turned from "cruel youth" to "conversation with elder generations",and their writing gestures are also turned from confrontation to reconciliation.The second chapter focuses on the subjective consciousness of "Post-80s" writers,discussing their creative practice of "social-ego and individual-ego","grand narrative and personalized writing".Early "Post-80s" writings flaunted their estrangement of the grand narrative in a dramatically refused gesture from "individual-ego" perspective,while later writers began to reflect on the grand and historical narrative from their "individual-ego"standpoint.Although the remarkably personal stance of 'Post-80s" writers is consistent,the expansion of their writing themes in the social and historical fields have shown that this group of writers have gradually separated themselves from the state of indulging in their youthful ego,heading for a broader realm of creativity.The third chapter observes the "Post-80s" writing from the perspective of "social character",and analyzes the changes of the writers' theme of their city writing.The life background of the early "Post-80s" writers is dominated by cities,but the "city" in their novels is merely a cultural symbol,and the description of material and urban civilization are even paradox with their theme.Later part of the "Post-80s" writers began to pay attention to urban marginal people's living state,and do some explore of the human nature in the real life situation from the "urban and rural" narrative perspective.The conclusion part sums up the change of "Post-80s" writing in the theme and expressing posture,and puts forward its current mental predicament and writing puzzle.In the problem of "individuation and socialization","expressing ego and endorsing group","Post-80sf" writers are still in the state of chaos groping.However,their performances have shown more and more broad social vision and traditional sense of responsibility,and their literary practice have surpassed the purely "cultural phenomena" level."Post-80s" writers break down the barrier between college-oriented writing and commerce-oriented writing,and became a writing group which leaving the time traces that deserves the mainstream literary circles' future expectations.
