On the Landscape Writing of Urban and Rural Narratives in Shi Zhecun's Novels
Shi Zhecun's urban and rural narrative novels present a dual spatial perspective transformation.Through the eyes of the subject,numerous landscape writings break through traditional constraints and assume a new narrative function in modern texts.As an external representation of inner psychology,landscapes are always in close dialogue with"country people"and"city people.""Fog"and"spring sun"exert their metaphorical rhetorical effects,revealing the con-cealment strategies of power and colonialism behind the urban landscape.With the help of Yukito Karatani's concepts of"inversion"and"cognitive device,"we can observe the deformed modernization of the city and the homogenization tenden-cies between urban and rural areas.From a cultural perspective,this exploration uncovers the inherent differences be-tween Shi Zhecun's landscape discourse and the"New Sensationism."
