Modern city and modern woman—— Shanghai writing and women's narrative in The Song of Everlasting Sorrow
摩登都市与摩登女人——《长恨歌》中的上海书写与女性叙事

摘要

王安忆的《长恨歌》以一个女人的命运为表、一个城市的形象为里，将女性叙事与城市书写熔铸为一体。通过对王琦瑶生命轨迹的书写，上海不再是冰冷的地理坐标或空洞的文化符号，而是被女性的身体经验、情感记忆与生存智慧激活的有温度的存在。小说从女性视角呈现城市叙事，又以城市的历史纵深反照女性的命运，最终在“女性—城市”的双向凝视中，完成了对现代都市文化性格的深度探索，也为当代女性主义文学提供了独特的叙事范式。本文通过分析《长恨歌》中的女性叙事与城市书写关系，探讨了个体命运与历史脉络的融合、弄堂空间与女性话语的象征系统，以及该作品超越时空的文学价值与当代启示，为当代女性主义文学与都市文化研究提供新的视角与思考。

Abstract

Wang Anyi's "The Song of Everlasting Sorrow" achieves a profound analysis of Shanghai's cultural character through the depiction of Wang Qiyao's life trajectory. The novel unfolds from a female perspective while using the city's historical depth to reflect on women's destinies, constructing a unique narrative model of mutual gaze between women and the city. This paper analyzes the relationship between female narratives and urban writing in "The Song of Everlasting Sorrow", exploring the integration of individual fate with historical threads, the symbolic system of lane spaces and female discourse, as well as the work's timeless literary value and contemporary relevance. It provides new perspectives and reflections for modern feminist literature and urban culture studies.
