Modernity Imagination In Cultural Dislocation

Literature has the inherent geographical attribute,and generally the geographical space of the writers is not fixed.Since the New Period,Guangdong,as the frontier position of opening to the outside world,has attracted a large number of floating population from other provinces.The aborigines from northern,western and eastern Guangdong have merged into the pearl river delta,which has greatly changed the original geographical pattern of literature in Guangdong.The creative achievements of a large number of mobile writers,as well as the heterogeneity between foreign culture and local culture,are always involved in the development of Guangdong literature.In the context of fluidity,it is of certain reference value and practical significance for current creation and research to investigate the relationship between the creation of Guangdong novels and the geographical flow of writers.Vertically,sort out the development vein and summarize the internal laws.Horizontally,grasp the flow situation and compare it with the national literary circles.Since the New Period,the old,middle and young mobile writers have gradually become the main force of Guangdong literary circles,mainly manifested as three types: “people from other provinces come to Guangdong”,“rural people go to cities”,and “city people go back country”.Moreover,the most writers are distributed around the pearl river delta.The flow of writers accompanied by the “literary field”transformation,forming “cultural dislocation” of the creative mentality.Take Chen Guokai,Su Wei,Tian Ying and other mobile writers' novels as examples,we can outline the modernity imagination in Guangdong novels by examining three creative trends: “reminiscence beyond the local scene ”,“examination of the conflict between old and new themes”,and “perplexity thinking on the urban form”.This phenomenon,which originates from the different geographical space,has both advantages and limitations in the creation of novels,which are embodied in the aspects of “mother language thinking”,“agrestic spiritual memory” and “urban cultural construction”.How to deal with the intervention of mother language experience effectively,how to seek a breakthrough in the coexistence of the symbol and suspension of the concept of “hometown”,and how to avoid the crisis ofhomogenization of creation when urban geographic space,lifestyle and thinking mode tend to be common,these problems depend on the mobile writers' exploration,adjustment and narration of the “subjective spirit” of their own and the real world.
