Abstract

LANGUAGE NOTE | Document text in Chinese; abstract also in English.

這究竟是一個什麽樣的時代？應該從何種層面來對這個時代命名？這是知識者的責任和義務。在全球化和中國本土的雙重視野中，楊慶祥從精神性的角度將這個時代命名爲“新傷痕時代”，它在普遍的意義上指的是一切非人性的秩序對個體和共同體的傷害，它在其最具體性上指的是中國的“改革”之陣痛及其傷害。楊慶祥進而提出只有通過有效的“新傷痕文學”的書寫，才能表達、呈現並拯救這種傷痕。

What age are we living in? From what perspective can we name this age? These are two very real responsibilities and obligations of intellectuals. From the perspectives of both globalization and domestic China, the author of the present study has developed the concept of “The Age of New Scars” from an intellectual standpoint. Generally speaking, “The Age of New Scars” refers to all sorts of harm and trauma that the inhuman order brings to the individual and community. In a more specific sense, it refers to the throes and damage during the “reform” of China. The author further proposes that only through effective writing of “New Scar Literature” can we express, represent and finally heal this kind of scar.
