“修改背景”的困境:北岛移居海外后的诗歌创作

The Predicament of “Changing the Background”: On Beidao's Poetry Creation after His Immigration Oversea

以北岛移居海外后创作的诗歌作为研究对象,可以看到,"背景"成为其内心的一大纠结,他当年的创作因当年的黑色背景而格外夺目,而今天的艺术却因脱离了母语的背景而兀自神伤,"修改背景"于是不但意味一种冲动,也成为一种想象,并成为北岛海外诗歌创作的一个最重要的意象。

The study on Beidao's poetry creation after his immigration oversea shows that Beidao does not understand and even repels the present era. Meanwhile,he reflects on the background of the past age,which makes Beidao face more grief nowadays. We can perceive today's Beidao and previous Beidao,and the tension in his mind when he faces today's Beijing and Beijing in the past. In fact,this demonstrates that he hovers between poetry creation and real background,poetry and reality,the reality in the poet's imagination and the actual reality. The entanglement of life at present and in the past pushes Beidao to reflect on the past and the current. Hence, 'changing the background ' becomes the most important imagery in Beidao's poetry creation oversea.
