从“主旨”到“意象”:西方文学叙事的现代转型——兼论自然主义与现代主义的关系

From "Theme" to "Imagery": the Modern Transformation in Western Literary NarrativeWith Comments on the Relationship between Naturalism and Modernism

在自然主义文学文本中,传统西方文学中与意识形态相关的社会、政治、道德、宗教主题开始消解,意象开始取代原先观念体系所派生出来的具体叙事意图即具体的观念性主题,居于作品的中心,这正是现代主义叙事作品主旨隐遁而意象弥漫的开端。

In naturalistic writings, the pellucidity of ideology - related social, political, moral, and religious themes in traditional literature begins to disappear. Instead there come grand and unclear subject matters of human nature and destiny, in the frame of which, imagery begins to take the central place of a work, replacing the exact narrative intention, or the specific ideational subject, that derives from the original system of conception. Naturalism is thus the beginning of Modernism.
