存在·虚无——约瑟夫·布罗茨基诗歌中对人类存在的思索

Being and Nothingness:Joseph Brodsky′s Meditation on Human Existence in His Poems

1987年诺贝尔文学奖获得者、俄裔美籍诗人约瑟夫·布罗茨基是20世纪俄罗斯文学史、乃至世界文学史中最具影响力的诗人之一。他的诗歌多以隐喻的方式阐释生命存在的本质,持之以恒地关注时间对人的影响。本文通过对贯穿布罗茨基诗歌创作始终的核心意象之一——古希腊罗马意象——的研究,从记忆、爱情、生命三方面探讨了诗人对人类存在这一本体论问题的思索,揭示出其在时间作用下的虚无本质。

Joseph Brodsky,a Russian-American poet and the 1987winner of the Nobel Prize for literature,is regarded as one of the most influential poets in the history of 20th century′s Russian literature and world literature.His poems expound the nature of being by metaphor,and persistently focus on time′s influence on people.Based on the study of one of the core images in Brodsky′s poems—the ancient Greek and Roman images,this paper,from the perspective of memory,love and life,explores Brodsky′s meditation on the ontological problem of being and reveals the nothingness of being affected by time.
