多维视野下的上海——论《长恨歌》的叙述立场

Shanghai from Different Perspectives: on the narration standpoint of Everlasting Regret

上海的形象在文学史上一直是暧昧不清的,历史的变迁、多种文化因素的渗透使之很难形成稳定的文化格局。二十世纪九十年代以来越来越多的作家在二三十年代声色犬马的旧上海中寻求上海文化的根源。王安忆却对这种文化现象保持着清醒的姿态,她在文化领域中重新审视这种怀旧的潮流,以《长恨歌》看似怀旧的文本提出对殖民文化的质疑。她掠去了上海浮华的表面,而在日常生活中探寻上海精神的内核。她以女性独有的细腻的笔触在主流历史话语之外重新开辟了一个远离血腥和权术的女性的天地。

In Chinese literal history, the image of Shanghai has always been ambiguous. The historical changes and permeation of various cultures make it difficult to form a stable cultural pattern in Shanghai. Since the 1990s, more and more writers have been trying to find the root of Shanghai＇s culture from Shanghai during1920s and 1930s. Wang Anyi, however has a clear idea in mind about this kind of cultural phenomenon. She reexamined the nostalgic trend and put forward her doubt about the colonial culture in her work Everlasting Regret, which takes a seemingly reminiscent form. She pierces through ostentation of Shanghai and seeks the core of Shanghai spirit in its daily life. With a unique and subtle female tone she explores a new world beyond the mainstream history, which belongs to the females and is far away from bloodiness and power.
