《古炉》:叙事创新与“文革”叙事突破

Old Furnace:an Innovation in Narration and a Breakthrough in Narration about the Cultural Revolution

贾平凹《古炉》的"文革"叙事有多重突破:特异的儿童叙事视角实现了作家的隐退;客观化叙述还原了"文革"乡村生活的本真状态;叙事时间与故事时间的错位开启了另一种乡村历史的书写;俯瞰式视角可以挖掘出政治原因之外"文革"爆发的多种因素。《古炉》的黑色幽默叙事把人类的灾难和人类自身的缺点与缺陷撕破给人看,以反讽话话和喜剧性戏仿表现了对"文革"悲剧的否定和批判。

Jia Pingwa＇s narration about the Cultural Revolution in Old Furnace is a breakthrough in many aspects. Firstly, the story is told from a child＇s perspective, which enables the author to retire from the text. Secondly, its objective narration helps restore the real life in the countryside. Thirdly, the dislocation of narrative time and event time suggests an alternative for writing about the history of the rural life. Lastly, the retrospective perspective can go beyond the political view to dig into the various factors that might have contributed to the taking place of the Cultural Revolution.
