文学书写中的故乡记忆——以汪曾祺笔下的昆明为中心

Hometown in the Memory of Literature Writing

20世纪40年代西南联大时期的昆明生活对汪曾祺的思想和写作产生了重要影响。作为衔接现当代的作家,汪曾祺继承了现代文学中鲁迅、废名、沈从文等人开创的书写故乡的传统。书写故乡在中国现代文学中是一个重要的文学现象,故乡对于作家来说既是一种写作资源也是一种思想资源。在汪曾祺晚年关于精神故乡——昆明的写作中,体现着他个性化的小说观:小说是回忆。同时,小说“追忆过去”式的叙述模式在阅读上产生了一种恒在的美学效果。

As the bridge between modem writers and contemporary writers, Wang Zeng-qi inherits the tradition of writing hometown started by some famous writers in modem literature such as Nu Xun, Sheng Cong-wen, etc.. For Wang, writing about ‘hometown＇ is his deliberate choice both in terms of his writing techniques and of his purpose. Hometown is the resource of thought as well as the resource of writing. He has the feeling of＂home＂ in the text about Kunming, which fill in the role of a spiritual hometown. Meanwhile, there was a shift from narrating the present to recalling of the past in the way of narrating. In this way, the writer has brought about a lasting aesthetic effect.
