新加坡华文现代诗中的现代概念是多元分歧的，不单指向文学断代，或现代主义，更多指涉着文学现代性。现代性话语在西方内部已经复杂歧义，涉及不同层面的问题，例如文学现代性与社会现代性的对峙、不同的文学现代性彼此之间的反动、张力等等。现代性话语通过翻译传播至中国，又涉及文化翻译的问题，再结合中国的语境，发展出不同版本的文学现代性，例如晚清小说、五四新文学、革命文学、现代诗等等。现代性话语辗转到台湾，又发展出台湾版本的现代诗话语。 新马华文文学场域自1920年代开始接受五四新文学、革命文学等等不同版本的中国文学现代性的现实主义话语。这些不同版本的现实主义话语并存于新马华文文学场域之中，占据主流位置。1950年代末，白垚等人与《蕉风》等刊物在新马发起传承自五四新文学运动的“现代新诗”运动，又断续接受台湾现代诗话语，再结合新马的语境，逐渐发展出新马版本的现代诗话语，形成新马华文文学第一波现代文学运动。这一波运动虽然没有出现高蹈现代主义的作品，但是抵制了新格律诗，带动了自由诗的创作风气，并引进有关现代性的讨论。1960年代末，牧羚奴、完颜藉等五月出版社诗人群体掀起新马华文文学第二波现代文学运动，新马出现高蹈现代主义的文学作品，新马版本的现代诗话语越趋成熟。新华现代诗话语，与1965年新加坡独立建国后的新华文学同步发展，形塑着新华文学的主体性与独特性。 本论文将重返现代诗话语冒现新华文学场域的文学史现场，通过诠释1959年至1982年有关现代诗的诗论、论争，以及作品，探讨当时的新华诗人是如何理解、接受、运用“现代诗”，以厘清新华现代诗中的现代概念。探讨新华现代诗中的现代概念，将有助于把握新华文学的主体与特征。 The idea of the Modern in Singapore Chinese modern poetry is complex and ambiguous, not only referring to a literature period or modernism, but refers even more to literary modernity. The discourse of modernity in the Western world was already complicated and involved various problems. Once the discourse of modernity was introduced to China through translation, different versions of literary modernity were developed in China’s context, and emerged in the forms of the late Qing novels, May Fourth new literature, revolutionary literature, modern poetry etc. Singapore Chinese literature began receiving different versions of realism from China since 1920s, and these versions co-existed in the field of Singapore Chinese literature, occupying the mainstream. In the late 1950s, the first wave of modern literature movement was launched in Singapore, led by the discourse of Singapore Chinese modern poetry. In the late 1960s, the second wave of modern literature movement was launched, works of high modernism were produced, and Singapore Chinese version of modern poetry matured. The discourse of Singapore Chinese modern poetry developed simultaneously with the Singapore Chinese literature upon the independence of Singapore in 1965, shaping the subjectivity and uniqueness of Singapore Chinese literature. This dissertation aims to return to the historical site of the emergence of modern poetry in the field of Singapore Chinese literature, and through interpreting the essays, debates and works of modern poetry, studies how the idea of ''modern poetry'' was understood, received and applied by the poets then, so as to clarify the idea of the modern in Singapore Chinese modern poetry. By studying the idea of the modern in Singapore Chinese modern poetry, we will have a better understanding on the subjectivity and uniqueness of Singapore Chinese literature.
