镶嵌性、生成性、修正性:苏克尼克《马赛克人》中的后现代叙事诗学特征
Mosaic, Generativity and Revision: Postmodern Narrative Poetics in Ronald Sukenick’s Mosaic Man
【摘要】 罗纳德·苏克尼克的小说《马赛克人》创作于后大屠杀、后冷战的背景下,蕴含了他对这一时期小说创作与自我意义的思考。本文通过分析小说的镶嵌性、生成性、修正性等主要特征,勾勒出苏克尼克的后现代叙事诗学。镶嵌性强调在后现代整体缺失之下各部分的意义,暗示当文化整体不复存在时,作为文化碎片的个体会努力寻找自身的意义;生成性继承犹太反模仿的传统,表明模仿并非真实,而是一种编造的存在;修正性意在对经典的重访与改写,实为苏克尼克对作家自身身份的反思和对犹太身份的追溯。《马赛克人》中的后现代叙事诗学表现了苏克尼克将对历史与现实意义的追寻诉诸文学创作的革新,以期达到小说作为对现实的增添或补充的目的。
【Abstract】 Ronald Sukenick’s Mosaic Man is a post-Holocaust and post-Cold War novel. It contains his thoughts on the writing and self construct of novels in this period. This paper outlines Sukenick’s postmodern narrative poetics by analyzing the characteristics of the novel, namely mosaic, generativity and revision. Mosaic in the novel emphasizes the meanings of parts in the absence of the whole, implying that when the whole culture no longer exists, the individual becomes a fragment trying to fnd its own meaning. Generativity is inherited from the Jewish tradition of anti-imitation, which shows that imitation is nothing but a fabricated existence. Revision, intended to revise and rewrite the classics, is a refection on the writer’s own identity and his tracing of Jewish identity. The postmodern narrative poetics in Mosaic Man shows that in his pursuit of historical and realistic signifcance, Sukenick uses innovative literary creation to make “the novel” an addition or supplement to reality.
