人口的流动与迁徙现象贯穿人类社会发展始终，并因此形成了一批具有时代特征的群体，即“城市异乡人”。这个具有文化意味的称谓展现了他们在完成原乡“脱嵌”的跨地经验后，难以在城市寻求“再嵌”的茫然。都市题材电视剧作为现实题材电视剧的一个重要类型，从1991年至今，映照了大量“城市异乡人”形象，并在不断发展中建构起丰富多元的人物谱系。本文以1991年的电视剧《外来妹》为研究起点，梳理近33年来的都市题材电视剧，采取文本分析、案例研究等方法，对都市题材电视剧中“城市异乡人”形象塑造类型、呈现方式及承载的文化意义进行分析与解读。

The phenomenon of population mobility and migration has been a constant in the development of human society, and has led to the formation of a group of people characterized by the characteristics of the times, namely, the "urban strangers". This culturally significant term shows their uncertainty in seeking "re-embeddedness" in the city after completing the cross-location experience of "de-embeddedness" in their hometowns. As an important genre of realistic TV dramas, urban TV dramas have portrayed a large number of "urban strangers" from 1991 to the present, and have constructed a rich and diversified spectrum of characters in the course of continuous development. This paper takes the 1991 TV drama "Foreign Sisters" as the starting point of the study, combs through the urban TV dramas over the past 33 years, and adopts the methods of textual analysis and case study to analyze and interpret the types of "urban strangers" portrayed in the urban TV dramas, the ways of presentation, and the cultural significance carried by the characters.

The first chapter analyzes the concept and development of Chinese urban dramas, clarifies the connotation and extension of "urban stranger", and systematically analyzes the writing history of the image of "urban stranger" in urban dramas from single to multiple, with reference to the creation phasing of Chinese urban dramas. The second chapter summarizes the writing history of the image of "urban stranger" in urban dramas from single to diversified.

Chapter 2 summarizes the four types of images of urban strangers, namely, the strivers, the lost, the dreamers and the migrants, and shows the real emotional experiences of different types of urban strangers under the spatial transformation in the analysis of their image characteristics.

Chapter 3 analyzes the specific strategies for shaping the image of "urban strangers" in urban dramas from three dimensions: audiovisual language, spatial construction and narrative techniques. The distinctive design of audio-visual representations strengthens the role cognition of "urban strangers"; the reproduction of real space and the construction of psychological space writes the drifting experience of "urban strangers"; the relationship narrative and body representation greatly enrich the image-carrying The relationship narrative and body representation greatly enrich the meaning carried by the image.

Chapter 4 explores the cultural significance and value expression of the image of the "urban stranger" in urban TV dramas from the perspective of discrete research, exploring the dilemma of alienation and objectification brought about by instrumental rationality and value crisis to the subject of the stranger, the modernization and transformation of the issue of nostalgia, as well as the changes in the perception of urban-rural relations carried by the characters in the dramas.

Chapter 5 combines the analysis of the image shaping of "urban strangers" with the whole text, and finds that there is a tendency of stereotyping in the image shaping and spatial construction of "urban strangers" in urban-themed TV dramas. In the future, the cultivation of local culture and the display of the group's "multi-faceted" imagination may become a way out.

After more than thirty years of creative practice, the image of "urban strangers" in Chinese urban TV dramas has formed distinctive features. The reconstruction of the identity of "urban strangers" within the text of the movie and television is also a way for creators to provide healing and solace to "urban strangers" in real life outside the space of the text.
