福克纳小说意象的审美解读

The Aesthetic Connotations of the Imagery in Faulkner's Fiction

意象的情感性特征使其成为抒情文学特别是诗歌的基本元素。尽管如此,以想象、虚构为主要特征的小说叙事同样为意象的孕育提供了广阔的沃土,使意象的美学价值在虚构叙事作品中得到彰显。福克纳在其主要叙事作品中,通过有意识的意象营造,增强叙事文本内部的张力,推动小说叙事的进程,不仅艺术地契合了福克纳小说跨越时空的非线性叙事结构,而且赋予虚构叙事作品以无与伦比的诗性魅力和丰富隽永的审美意蕴。

Imagery is a basic element of lyric literary genres,especially of poetry,for its emotional features.However,imagery has also been widely used and well nourished in fictional narration characterized by imagination and fiction,which manifests the aesthetic values of imagery in novels.In his major novels,Faulkner builds up the inner tension of the narrative texts,and propells fictional narration forward by creating conscious imagery,which artistically accords with the nonlinear and cross-spatial-andtemporal narrative structure of Faulkner＇s novels,and endows them with incomparable poetic enchantment and meaningful aesthetic connotations.
