论《家变》的思想内涵

The Ideological Content of Family Change

台湾作家王文兴的长篇小说《家变》自发表以来学界对其评价褒贬不一。支持的一方认为它是台湾现代派文学的重要收获;而反对的一方则认为《家变》对家庭制度的看法和描写太过于狭隘,或认为《家变》的文字过于怪异。笔者认为《家变》中的父子关系的悲剧性、心灵上的巴别塔和其对中国传统家庭制度文化上的反思才是其思想内涵的核心。

Taiwan writer Wang Wenxing’s novel Family Change has received mixed reviews since it’s published. The supporters trumpeted it as an important achievement of Taiwan modernist literature; while the opponents believed that its views and descriptions of the family system were too narrow , or thought its words were weird. While the author believes that the parent-child relationship tragic , the Tower of Babel in spirit and the reflections on traditional Chinese family system and culture is the core ideological content of Family Change.
