1950年前后布朗肖对贝克特语言观的影响——兼《无名者》叙事分析

The Impact of Blanchot on Beckett's View on Language around 1950

贝克特是学术型作家,曾涉猎的哲学思想不计其数。本文从1950年前后法国哲学家布朗肖关于文学语言的思想入手,结合分析布朗肖与贝克特两人在实际生活与小说作品中的交集,来阐述贝克特对于语言观的接受包括他在小说《无名者》中所反映的相关的语言观,以及对于"虚无"和叙事死亡的悖论的理解。概括说来,语言的变化在布朗肖和贝克特的作品中都经历了两个阶段,一是虚无化,一是死亡。经历了这两个阶段之后,故事中的"我"和讲故事的"我"都消失在叙事中。

Beckett is both a writer and an intellectual who has read a variety of philosophical works.This paper is an attempt to sort out the relationship between Beckett and the French writer-philosopher Blanchot,through their association in real and literary life,in the context of the former's acceptance of the latter's understanding of language.Specifically,the treatment of language in Beckett's novel The Unnamable,together with his elaboration on the idea of nothingness and the paradox of narrative and death,is investigated.Generally speaking,there are two stages in the understanding of language both for Blanchot and Beckett,that is,nothingness and death.The'I'in narration and the'I'who narrates both disappear in the narrative after these two stages.
