THE IM AGINATION OF LITERATURE AND THE CULTURAL COM M UNITYStarting fromThe Reading History of Lu Xun's My Old Home

《鲁迅〈故乡〉阅读史》一书，是藤井省三从事鲁迅研究二十年来的总结之作。本书从鲁迅的短篇小说《故乡》入手，以文学社会学方法透视现代中国知识群体的阅读情况，考察“想象的共同体”如何发挥民族国家建构的作用。其“小题大做，旁敲侧击”，力图呈现的可谓是“文学的社会史”。从《鲁迅〈故乡〉阅读史》的脉络转到村上春树的中国阅读史研究，藤井为自己的研究对象构筑了开阔的时空关系，看似天马行空的论述背后，其一以贯之的文化体认也蕴蓄其中。As a sum m ary ofFujiiShozo's study ofLu Xun in tw o decades,the very book titled The Reading History of Lu Xun's My Old Home focuses on Lu Xun's short story My Old Home, to present the reading situation of m odern Chinese intellectuals, thus to investigate how "im agined com m unity"play the role in the construction of nation.From The Reading History of Lu Xun's My Old Home to Chinese reading history research of H aruki Murakam i, the w ay Fujii Shozo uses sociology of literature as an approach m akes his research have a broad perspective and a consistent cultural identity.0636-4
