建构于符号系统上的现代生存寓言——鲁迅《狂人日记》的另一种解读

Modern Parables of Existence Formed on the Symbolic System——Another explanation to Luxun’s Maniac’s Diaries

长期以来,人们基本上按现实主义创作原则来评判《狂人日记》,一个突出的共同点是把“狂人”看作可以归类的具体的人物形象。但不管是“狂人说”、“战士说”,还是“统一说”,都与文本所呈现的真实存在很大的距离。其实,《狂人日记》不是现实主义小说,而是现代主义小说;“狂人”也不是通常意义上的人物形象。只有将作品当作整体性的隐喻象征符号系统,才有可能破解深藏的意义密码,把握其“表现的深切”与“格式的特别”。

Maniac′s Diaries is not the realist novel but the modernist novel.The “maniac”doesn′t refer to the image of character in common sense,either.Only by regarding the works as the whole symbolic system of metaphors can we analyze and explain the codes of the profound meaning in order to understand the “deep expression”and “peculiar style”.
