历史与未来:革命乌托邦之谜——从《人面桃花》到《山河入梦》

History and the Future : the Mystery of Revolutionary Utopia——From 《 Renmian Taohua 》 to 《 Shanghe Rumeng 》

格非的小说《人面桃花》和《山河入梦》逐层深入精微剖析了陆秀米、谭功达母子二人的革命乌托邦激情,描写了他们革命乌托邦理想不断走向反面、不断遭遇失败的历程。对乌托邦的向往和行动,也不可避免地演变成了各种各样使个体深受创伤的具体经验。作者借助这两部小说,表现了人类对于革命乌托邦神话的一种天真和误解的深刻怀疑精神。格非是用叙述迷津来表现这个思想迷津的,从叙事策略来看,这两部小说采取了暗示和省略的结构方式。小说的叙事形式与内容显现出一种同步:作者在技术层面操作的省略暗示与它所要讲述的历史诉求形成诡异的呼应。

The two novels 《Renmian Taohua》and 《Shanghe Rumeng》from Ge fei＇s trilogy make a subtle and further analysis of the revolutionary Utopianim shared by Lu Xiumi and Chen Gongda, they also describe the course in which their revolutionary Utopianism continually goes to the opposite and suffers failure. Their utopian yearning action, also inevitably evolves into a wide variety of specific individual＇s traumatized experience. Through these two novels, the author illustrates a profound human skeptiscism of the naivity and misunderstanding of the revolutionary Utopian myth. Ge fei employs a narrative maze to demonstrate this ideological maze, from the perspective of narrative strategy, the two novels adopts the structural method of implication and omission. The narrative form and its content shows a synchronicity： the author＇s implication of omission at the techineal level miraculously echoes with the historical demands it wants to tell.
