宣泄与补偿:虹影小说的“弑父”书写及其心理机制

Catharsis and Compensation:The Patricide Writing of HongYing's Novel and its Psychological Mechanism

"宣泄与补偿"是文学治疗最基本也最常用的功能,虹影的创作恰好证明了这一点。对她而言,内在的心灵创伤特别是"私生女"的身世创伤是激发创作冲动的基本原因,而写作则是医治其创伤的表意符号系统。她通过"父"的叙事来宣泄、补偿、升华自己的压抑情绪,而小说所呈现出的"寻父——弑父——认父"的写作模式实际上就是疗伤与救赎的过程。

＂ Catharsis and compensation＂ is the most fundamental and commonly used function of literature therapy, and HongYing＇s novel is just a good example of this point. To her, psychological trauma, especially her illegitimate birth is the basic reason to inspire her impulse in creation, and writing is the ideographic symbol system to cure her wound. She gives vent to, compensates, sublimates her depressed emotion by fathers narrating, and the writing pattern of ＂seeking- killing- identifying Father＂ is the process to heal and rescue herself.
