精神世界的构建与解构——《沉沦》中的灯火意象解读

Construction and Deconstruction of Spiritual World: Reading of the Image of Light in Sink into Depravity

同经常被分析的自然意象相比,灯火意象更对《沉沦》的精神世界具有构建和解构的双重作用。文章从个人心理、城市隐喻和文化隐喻三个方面分别解析灯火意象如何构建一个完整而又复杂的精神世界,这个精神世界由死亡化心境、都市的依恋和古典意味三者组成,却又被无形之中存在着的某些成分所解构。由此,文章解读出《沉沦》所呈现出的复杂精神世界:倾向死亡又不免自嘲,渴望城市又最终逃离,沉浸古典的自然田园又最终消解了古典意味。

Compared with other natural images in Yu Dafu＇s Sink into Depravity,which have been focused on in many researches,a more important one is the light.It is an image affecting both the construction and deconstruction of the character＇s spiritual world.In view of the individual psychology, city metaphor and cultural metaphor,this paper analyzes how the image of light constructs a complete and complex spiritual world consisted of the mood to fall into death,dependence on city and classical meaning,and how some parts of the light itself deconstruct the spiritual world.Thereby the complex mental state of the protagonist and even the writer is revealed：he would like to die but sometimes dismissed the attempt to die;he fell over himself to stay in the city but finally escaped from it;he lost in the traditional Chinese pastoral nature but unlived the classical meaning at last.
