加缪文学作品中的“失语”现象

The "Lost Language" in Camu's Literatures

在加缪文学作品中,"失语"现象首先表现为人们遗忘了如何使用语言表现内心想法,其次表现为人们遗忘了如何使用语言表达亲昵情感,这其实是理性主义长期关注人类历史目的下的普遍社会意志,忽略个人生存处境中的特殊个别感情的严峻恶果。强调普遍、排斥个别的历史理性主义在驯化人们的思维与语言的同时,更孕育出大量冠冕堂皇的闲谈和道貌岸然的谎言。当闲谈、谎言充斥世界时,诚实就意味着"失语"。从这个意义上说,加缪文学中的"失语"现象包含着深刻的社会批判意蕴。

＂Lost language＂ in Camu’s literatures shows that people forgot how to express their ideas and emotions.This is the evil consequence that the rationalism valued the general social will under the historical aims and neglected the specific emotions of the individuals in the living situations for a long time.The historical rationalism which emphasized the generality and repelled the individuality produced a lot of chats and lies while it tamed people’s thinking and language.When the society is flooded with chats and lies,honesty means ＂lost language＂.Judging from this phenomenon,＂lost language＂ in Camu’s literatures containes a profound criticism on the society.
