论《喧哗与骚动》神话世界的诗意建构

On the Poetical Construction of the Mythical Kingdom in The Sound and the Fury

20世纪是神话复兴的世纪。正如许多20世纪西方现代作家纷纷把视野转向远古神话一样,福克纳在其代表作《喧哗与骚动》中诗意地建构了现代人的神话。作品继承了"约克纳帕塔法世系"的神话传统,代表传统南方贵族的沙多里斯世界和代表北方新兴资产阶级的斯诺普斯世界之间尖锐的对立与冲突,是构筑作品神话世界的宏观建构;而作品所潜隐的对位式神话结构模式,则可看作是福克纳神话世界的深层建构。作为一位具有强烈忧患意识的现代作家,福克纳之所以如此执着的构筑诗意盎然的神话乌托邦,其深层意义在于思索与探寻"迷路的现代人"救赎的希望与出路。

The 20th century is the century of the mythology renaissance. Just as many 20th century western modernist authors, who all turned their eyeshot towards ancient mythology, William Faulkner constructed modernist mythology poetically in his novel The Sound and the Fury. His novel inherits the mythology tradition of ＂the descent of Yoknapatawpha. ＂ The strident antinomy and collision between the Sartoris representative of traditional southern aristocrats and the world of Snopus representative of burgeoning north bourgeois, is the macroscopical construction of this novel. While the mythical configuration pattern of contraposition is the deep-seated structure of this work. As a modernist author with the violent consciousness of worry, Faulkner persisted to construct the mythical Utopia and pondered and explored the hope and outlet of redemption of ＂the lost modern people＂.
