意识流小说实践:当代作家接受了什么?——1980年代小说内心独白艺术论

Application of the Stream-of-consciousness Technique to Fictitious Writings:What Is Accepted by Contemporary Writers?——An Art Perspective of Internal Monologue in Novel in the 1980s

意识流是最先走进中国新时期文坛的西方现代派表现手法,它的主要艺术特征有心理结构、内心独白、自由联想、感觉印象等要素。内心独白的价值指向是揭示人物灵魂深处的意识和潜意识,是传达人们积聚于内心又不能言表的无声语言。中国新时期作家在运用内心独白时,吸纳了西方意识流小说的各种独白技巧,同时根据中国传统的接受方式使之本土化。因此新时期小说中的内心独白是一种创造性的运用。同时,新时期作家还通过人物的内心独白,将对社会、集体、个体和生命的认识逐渐融入到作品中,体现了对西方文学艺术形式借鉴和接受的自觉。"有意味的形式"可以概括内心独白作为意识流小说技巧步入中国新时期文坛的行进轨迹。

Being among the first to have been introduced to Chinese literary circles in the new period,the stream of consciousness is a technique of expression of the Western modernist school,whose main artistic characteristics encompass such elements as psychological structure,internal monologue,free association,and perceptive impression.The values orientation of internal monologue consists in revealing the consciousnesses and sub-consciousnesses in the depth of related characters＇ souls,and in expressing the silent languages accumulated in people＇s hearts,but incapable of being put into words.In the new period,when Chinese writers come to apply internal monologue,they absorb all kinds of techniques of monologue employed in the Western stream-of-consciousness novels,localizing them according to the traditionally acceptable approach.In this sense,this application of internal monologue in the new period＇s novels is a kind of creativity.Meanwhile,by way of presenting characters＇ internal monologues,those writers gradually integrate their understandings of society,the collective as a whole,individuals and life into their works,which in return displays their willingness of learning and accepting the forms of Western literature.＂The meaningful form＂ can be used to reflect the track of internal monologue when the technique of the stream-of-consciousness enters Chinese literary circles in the new period.
