摘要:新世纪古装剧的叙事迭代与文化表达,深度呼应着中国社会的现代性进程。古装剧的历史拟像既完成了对现代性矛盾的想象性呈现,也暴露出文化生产的内在局限。浪漫爱情神话的消解、甜宠叙事的泛滥与婚姻叙事的危机共同构成了"爱欲之死"的文化症候。而以穿越、重生为架构的阶层逆袭叙事,虽为现实中遭遇阶层固化的Z世代提供了想象性慰藉,却因认同并内化了弱肉强食的丛林法则,未能真正触及结构性不平等的根源。Z世代所秉持的一套建构故事世界和规则的个体主义小叙事,将宏大叙事简化为个体权力角逐的舞台,其背后是启蒙理想冷却后资本逻辑对青年精神世界的侵蚀。古装剧的文化价值提升,需在历史想象与现实关怀之间建立更深刻的联结既不回避現代性进程中的矛盾与阵痛,也不放弃对爱欲本真、阶层正义与精神解放的价值追求,构建能够承载个体价值和集体记忆的新历史叙事。
Abstract: The narrative evolution and cultural expression of costume dramas in the new centurydeeply resonate with the modernization process of Chinese society. The historical simulacra ofcostume dramas not only imaginatively present the contradictions of modernity but also exposethe inherent limitations of cultural production, The dissolution of romantic love myths, theproliferation of sweet and indulgent narratives, and the crisis in marriage narratives collectivelyconstitute the cultural symptom of the "death of love and desire". The narrative of class i逆袭(upward social mobility) based on time travel and reincarnation, although providing animaginative consolation for the Z generation who encounter class solidification in reality, failsto truly address the root cause of structural inequality by internalizing the law of the jungle. The individualistic small narratives held by the Z generation, which construct story worlds andrules, simplify grand narratives into stages for individual power struggles. Behind this is theerosion of the spiritual world of the youth by the logic of capital afiter the cooling of theenlightenment ideal. To enhance the cultural value of costume dramas, a deeper connectionneeds to be established between historical imagination and real-world concern - neither avoidingthe contradictions and pains in the modernization process nor giving up the pursuit of theauthenticity of love and desire, class justice, and spiritual liberation, and building newhistorical narratives that can carry individual values and collective memories.
