“游戏”背后的多重隐喻——对胡适《西游记》“游戏”说的新解释

Multiple Metaphors behind the“Playing”: An Explanation of Hu Shi's Interpretation of A Journal to the West

20世纪20年代,胡适首倡《西游记》"游戏"说,历经浮沉,几度反复,至今余绪未绝。本文结合当下文艺学认知水平和《西游记》学术背景,对"游戏"说作新的解释,从"第二次天真"、克服对自由的羁绊、人类学游戏结构等不同方面探究《西游记》"游戏"背后的多重性文化蕴涵,从而丰富、革新"游戏"说的理论意义。

Hu Shi was the first to interpret Chinese classical novel A Journal to the West by taking it as a game play. Since 1920s till now, his interpretation has met with pros and cons, but his interpretive perspective is still worth examining. In the current theoretical context, this paper surveys the academic background of Hu Shi ＇ s interpretive perspective and attempts a new explana- tion. The paper tries to investigate the muhiple cultural implications behind the ＂play＂ interpretation of the novel from such an- gles as the second innocence, freedom from constraints, and anthropological structure of game and hopes to enrich the theoretical significance of Hu Shi＇ s ＂play＂ interpretation.
