自由的言说——论《芬尼根的守灵》的饶舌叙述

Freedom in Self Expression: Loquacious Narrative in Finnegans Wake

在创作的早期 ,乔伊斯遵循的是中立、冷漠的现代叙述原则 ,但到了《芬尼根的守灵》 ,乔伊斯使叙述成了叙述者的快乐言说。通过将叙述从现代的客观性“展示”转为以叙述者的“讲述”为主的叙述表演 ,通过将隐蔽于文本之后的叙述者转变为风格化的“说故事的人” ,通过重复、列举、描述、陈词滥调、不断的否定性修正等近乎饶舌的言说方式达到“言语的喷涌” ,乔伊斯使言说在《芬尼根的守灵》中变得自觉 ,使作者的自我获得自由的表达。

Joyce obeyed the modern narrative principle of neutrality and detachment during his early period of writing. However in Finnegans Wake , Joyce created a loquacious narrator. In Finnegans Wake , Joyce turned the objective ″showing″ to the narrative performance of narrator's ″telling″, turned the narrator remaining behind the text into a stylistic ″story teller″. Using the almost tedious narrative technique of repetition, enumeration, description, cliché and successively negation and modification, he made the narrative of Finnegans Wake ″the runs of speech″. Thus speech becomes a self conscious activity and the author speaks freely in this text.
