摘　　要：在中国的现代化历程中,基层知识青年的“失意”状况深刻折射着中国社会的时代症候。以田野调查报告以及非虚构类写作为主,学界产生了一批关于当代基层知识青年的叙事。在全球化的冲击下,当代基层知识青年叙事具有文化场域的多元参照系,接受着持续“现代化”与反省“现代性”双向牵引,形成了内敛式的个体关怀与外延式的秩序思考的两条书写路径,力图承载并超越“失意”。作为知识生产,当代基层知识青年叙事在情感知识维度与社会知识维度为理解基层知识青年的心灵世界及其生活现状提供了充足的文化符号与观察坐标。这一知识生产能否持续为中国社会发展提供正向力量,取决于其自身能否突破西方话语体系造成的思想局限,走出“寒门子弟”抑或“小镇青年”的社会想象的循环复制,从而激活内在于中国基层的社会主义资源以及既有的文化传统,在个体与集体的平衡之中恢复基层知识青年的行动主体性以及内具信念感的历史目标。In the course of contemporary China's modernization, the “disappointment” experienced by grassroots intellectual youth profoundly mirrors the social ailments of Chinese society. The academic community has produced a series of narratives about contemporary grassroots intellectual youth, primarily through field investigation reports and non-fiction writing. Influenced by globalization, the narratives possess multiple reference points within the cultural field, receiving the dual traction of ongoing “modernization” and reflection on “modernity”, forming two distinct writing paths: introverted individual care and extensive societal order reflection, striving to encapsulate and transcend “disappointment”. As knowledge production, these narratives offer ample cultural symbols and observational coordinates for understanding the spiritual realm and living conditions of grassroots intellectual youth in the dimensions of emotional and social knowledge. Whether this knowledge production can continue to exert a positive influence on China's social development hinges on its ability to transcend the ideological constraints imposed by the Western discourse system, break free from the cyclical replication of social imaginaries such as “children from humble backgrounds” or “smalltown youth”, thereby activating the socialist resources inherent in China's grassroots and existing cultural traditions, and restoring the action subjectivity and inherent sense of purpose of grassroots intellectual youth in the balance between individuality and collectivity.
