传奇与神话:现代家族叙事主题一种

Legend and Myth:the Subject of Modern Family Narratives

不同于对家族的批判叙事,现代家族小说也以回忆和想像的方式讲述家族祖先的事迹,表现其精神风采、道德操守,以此来比照当下现实的精神苍白和孱弱血性。传奇性的文本和神话叙事契合着怀旧寻根思潮,表现了一种现代审美理想。

Different from those critical text, some family novels narrate the ancestry＇s deeds and display their morals by the form of recalling and imagination. These stories contrast the pale reality. Fit in with trends of missing old times and seeking ancestry, these legends and myths manifest a modern aesthetic ideal.
