摘要:

市井—市民—新市民, 这是三个不同时代的产物。新市民诞生在八十年代以来新的历史时期。深刻切中这一时期城市及城市人的变化, 便有了“新市民小说”。“新市民小说”中的“新市民”具有鲜明的特征, 一是彻底告别传统, 空前强烈地追求世俗化生活和拜金主义; 二是情爱观念令人诧异的变化。“新市民小说”表现了一种对现代城市既向往又恐惧的心态, 表现出了一种“另类”的姿态。他们具有他们应有的存在价值; 然而, 其中某些消极、遁世乃至自甘堕落应引起读者的注意。

Abstract:

Marketplace-Townspeople-Neo-Townspeople, are the products of three different ages. "Neo-Townspeople" were bom in the new historical period since the 1980s, and the term particularly fits in with the changes of cities and city dwellers of that time; as a result, "Neo-Townspeople Fiction" came into being. The "Neo-Townspeople" in "Neo-Townspeople Fiction" have distinct features: one is their complele rejection of traditions and their unprecedentedly strong pursuit of worldly life and money-worshipping, the other is the surprising changes of their attitudes towards love. "Neo-Townspeople Fiction" reveals a kind of attitudes, both yearning and fearful, towards modem cities, and also a kind of attitudes of "non-mainstream". They deserve their existence. However, some are pessimistic and trying to escape the world and even abandon themselves to vices.

Key words: Neo-Townspeople Fiction, post-modernism, marketplace, townspeople
