无边黑暗中的灵魂呻吟——论巴金小说中的肺病意象

Souls Groan In Boundless Darkness:the Aesthetic Meaning of Pulmonary Tuberculosis Image in Ba Jin's Novels

肺病是巴金小说中一个重要的意象,但长期被评论者们所漠视。肺病是杜大心自杀式复仇的根本动因,是汪文宣对黑暗现实的无言控诉。肺病在巴金小说中被放大成整个民族和社会的疾患象征,肺病患者的求医问药之路则被引申为寻求民族解放之路和呼吁社会革命之路。肺病意象在现代文学语境中获取了在政治和文化双重意义上的身份认同,极具现代性意义。

Pulmonary tuberculosis is an important aesthetic image in Ba Jin＇ s novels, but it has been ignored for a long time. Pulmonary tuberculosis is the basic agent of Du Daxin＇ s revenge of committing suicide, and it is Wang Wenxuan＇ s wordless accusation of darkness. It is enlarged into an illness symbol of the whole nation and society. The cure for pulmonary tuberculosis stands for the cure for the illness of the whole nation and society. The image of pulmonary tuberculosis obtains an esthetic meaning of politics and culture in modern literary linguistic context, and so it has a significant meaning of modernity.
