审丑性:寻求另类的表达——评北村小说的语言风格

Appreciation of Ugliness:a Quest for an Alternative Expression——On the Language Characteristics of Bei Cun's Novels

先锋小说家之一的北村,作品语言表述上力求创新,其中一大特色便是大量使用具有审丑性的语句。如将美丽的事物作丑化描写,对死亡的肆意渲染等等。这一审丑风格的表现形式是大量采用具有强刺激感和强动感的语句以及大量使用具有神秘感和阴冷血腥的词语。作者采用这种表述风格,意在表现自己独特的观世视角,揭示丑陋以引起读者的关注,以及表现故事主旨和塑造人物形象的需要。

The language in the works of Bei Cun, one of the pioneer novelists, is worded with effort to be creative, which is characterized by the profuse adoption of the language featuring the appreciation of ugliness, such as portraying beautiful things in an ugly manner and the outrageous exaggeration of death. Such a style is achieved by adopting profusely the language that is highly pungent and dynamic and the diction that is mystic, cold and bloody. By adopting this style, Bei Cun aims to show his unique view of the world, and arouse the concern of the readership by exposing ugliness, as well as revealing the gist and portraying the personalities in his works.
