British Culture and European Culture in the Interwar Period-from the Viewpoint of History of Sociat Thought

第一次世界大战产生了一个相互矛盾的影响：对以前所有传统的信心破灭，换来了一切重新开始的希望。但所有的男人和女人都不知道什么是真正的新东西。与此同时，自从普鲁斯特的巨著《记忆的问题》成为文学的中心主题以来，记忆的问题，或如何重建坚实的过去成为文学的中心主题。简而言之，在所有文化类别中，战后的要求都是矛盾的：当一个人敢于抛弃西方旧文化的碎片时，她或他必须发现，除了传统价值观之外，已经没有任何资源了。这场运动通常被称为前卫或现代主义，通常被定义为对自由的西方文明习俗的反应。

The first World War had a contradictory effect : the shattering of confidence in all the traditions that had gone before bought the hope of starting everything afresh. But all men and women were uncertain about what was truly new.At the same time, since Proust's enormous novel, A la Recherche du Temps perdu, the problem of memory, or how to reconstruct a solid past became a central theme for literature.In short, in all cultural categories the post-war requirements were paradoxical : when one dared to cast away the debris of old western culture, she or he must find the fact that there were no resources left except traditional values. This movement is commonly known as the avantgarde or modernism, which Is commonly defined as a reaction against the conventions of liberal western civilization.
