Analyse the body-narratives in the contemporary Chinese literature under the viewpoint of subjectivist-body-esthetics

  The present paper is intended to analyse the body-narratives in the contemporary Chinese literature under the viewpoint of subjectivist-body-esthetics. The basic ideas of subjectivist-body-esthetics are: man is body, body is subject, aesthetic activities is the praxis of the body-subject. From the viewpoint of subjectivist-body-esthetics, the main weakness of body narratives in the contemporary Chinese literature is that it merely presents the objectivity of body. In 1949-1976"s, the grand revolutionary narratives defines the body as the tools which must servers for the ultimate goal of communism project. After 1976, the reforming and opening-up policy makes a Comparatively free atmosphere in which writers are allowed to show the beauty and desires of body. Some writers, such as Chang Xian Kiang, began to regard the body as the self-decisive subject. But the body narratives after 1990"s does not develop this clues. From 1990"s, Chinese body narratives differentiates itself into two trends: (1)highlights the spiritual subjectivity, insists that the body is only the impermanent house of the soul-subject; (2)reduces the body to the corporal being without head, displays the desire of the body unilaterally. Both of them deny the subjectivity of body and does"t reveal the status ,meaning, dignity of body-subject. So, the authentic subjectivist-body- narratives is still unborn in China.
