“对照”:张爱玲“穿”与“写”的互映

Two Interesting Foils Set by Zhang Ailing: Wearing and Portrait of Costumes

从"穿"衣到"写"衣,张爱玲与服饰的关系由身体滑移至文字,成为她本人生存体系和生命图景不可或缺的两个元素。散见于张爱玲创作中的服饰书写,表明其对衣服的迷恋已然超越了一般女性的物质装饰意义,这些文字既有个人的生存智慧,也蕴含着人类普遍的生存哲学。她的小说艺术又是其服饰理论的美学实践。在这个意义上,她的服饰美学与小说美学"互相发明",形成了有趣的"对照"。

From wearing clothes to portraying clothes,the relationship between Zhang Ailing and costumes has slipped from body to characters,the literal form,which indicated the two things have become two indispensable elements in Zhang＇s existing system or life circle.Zhang＇s sporadic depictions of costumes clearly reveal that her love in clothes has exceeded the material sense in a female＇s eyes.These depictions not only embody her survival wits,but also embody the commonly accepted survival philosophy of mankind.Her novels were exactly her aesthetic exercise of her costume theories.Here,her costume aesthetics and her fictional aesthetics ＂invents＂ each other and serve as a foil for each other.
