The imagination and reconstruction of Shanghai Urban Space——The representation of Nostalgia and spectacles in JinYuchen’s FanHua / 上海都市空間的想像與重構——金宇澄《繁花》中的懷舊與奇觀再現

碩士 / 國立政治大學 / 傳播學院傳播碩士學位學程 / 104 / Despite its rapid reconstruction of urban space over the recent times, life and culture of Shanghai have always been illustrated in literary texts. The book Fanhua, published in 2013, has depicted the life of Shanghai residents from 1960s to 1990s. It has received several literary awards and provoked a wave of nostalgia.
FanHua was written in Shanghai dialect, revealing stories about ABao, HuSheng, XiaoMao and others in a dual narratives form. This study adopted text analysis mode, examining how the characters’ spatial practices could construct the differences between urban space and identity.
The author, Jin has introduced a new writing genre in Shanghai Literature by leaving the traditional Masculine Narrative but at the same time, inheriting the Shanghai aesthetics of details. Via material and spatial symbolism, Jin analyses his perspectives on microcosmic daily life, power and sexual relationship and also the relationship between Shanghai and the rest of the world.
While old lanes and alleys have been gradually replaced by modern skycrapers, Shanghai residents practise their own way of routine, reminiscing, remembering the details of the old Shanghai, which has become the core of Shanghai culture.
