Search for“Shanghai”:Cultural Memory Theory and Shanghai Literature Study

Abstract

A "self-discipline"consciousness should be established in Shanghai literature study.It will be more beneficial to maintain moderate"alienation"with the overall Chinese literature study.Shanghai literature study can be extended and deepened with the cultural memory theory for reference.Time density of Shanghai history has caused writers' memory tension,while Shanghai cultural memory has affected writers' identity.In this way,writers' literary creation is directed and adjusted.Shanghai literature study should present literary"extended scenes",which requires the decoding of intertextuality between texts as well as the use of dual analysis of literary and cultural texts.In addition,two-way realization and comment of"Shanghai classic"is necessary.
