摘　　要：新世纪以来,中国科幻小说的“或然历史”想象立足于科技想象,不断重掘民主与科学的启蒙思考,展开独具中国性的科幻美学探索,主要表现为三个方面:第一,建构整体性、循环性、统一性的东方技术哲学观,开掘中国传统技艺的诗学之美;第二,用侠之大者的“义”之伦理和人道主义关怀浸润小说人物形象,张扬守正、创新的中华伦理精神;第三,狂欢化,充满油滑、戏谑与反讽美学效果的科幻“故事新编”,表现“史实性的消退”和“主体的零散化”等后现代文化特征。这些探索显示了作家希冀跳脱西方现代性的知识框架与文化美学,探寻、阐扬中国传统人文精神、科技文化理性思想的努力,以及对后现代时代特征的敏锐捕捉和现实关怀。Since the turn of the 2lst century,the imagination of alternative history in Chinese science fiction has been grounded in technological imagination,continually re-examining the enlightenment ideals of democracy and science while exploring a distinctly Chinese sci-fi aesthetic.This is reflected in three aspects:first,the construction of a holistic,cyclic,and unified Eastern philosophy of technology,highlighting the poetic beauty of traditional Chinese craftsmanship;second,the infusion of characters with the Confucian concept of"Yi",representing righteousness and humanitarian concern,promoting the Chinese ethical spirit of upholding righteousness and embracing innovation;third,the carnivalization of science fiction"New Tales",filled with wit,humor,and ironic aesthetics,which display postmodern cultural features such as the retreat from historicity and the fragmentation of subjectivity.These explorations demonstrate writers'aspirations to transcend the epistemological framework and cultural aesthetics of Western modernity,to explore and elevate traditional Chinese humanism and rational thought on science and technology,while also capturing the characteristics of postmodernism and expressing concerns for contemporary realities.
