英雄形象在当代文本中的现代性阐释——以藏族史诗《格萨尔王传》为例

Modern Interpretation of Hero Image in Contemporary Literature:a case study of King Gesar

本文以藏族史诗《格萨尔王传》为例,梳理了当代社会公开出版的多种汉文文本,一些文本中格萨尔等英雄形象成为后现代社会反讽和消解对象;一些已成为藏地民间大众日常生活的护佑之神;而更多的文本中展示的英雄形象则体现了现代人的情感体验,他们以自己的方式来重写构建现代社会中的英雄。每类文本作者创作的初衷并不相同,但所展示英雄形象里却有着很多相似的类型,这也是史诗在文化的传承中共有的特点,很多文本能借史诗的典故引出现代人对社会的看法和认识。

The present paper studied many Chinese version of King Gesar and found different interpreta-tions of hero images in the epic. In some texts, hero such as Gesar has become objects of irony and de-construc-tion in post-modern society. Some heroes have become gods to ordinary Tibetan people in their daily life. Moretexts show heroic images which reflect the emotional experience of modern people and create heroes in a more in-dividual way. The original intention of each text is different, but there are similar types in the heroic image dis-played. This is also a common feature of epic in the cultural heritage. Many texts can borrow the allusions of epicto introduce modern people’s views and understanding of society.
