论神话思维与科幻品格之融合

On the Integration of Mythical Ideology and Sci-Fi Quality

神话是讲述起源的叙事,科幻小说是以技术为骨干的叙事,两者看似本质相违,实则殊途同归。美籍华裔科幻小说作家刘宇昆擅长将中国民间故事融入创作,他的宇宙科幻小说《人之涛》,1糅合了不同民族的创世神话,力图勾勒人类命运与起源的浩瀚画卷;通过对《人之涛》的故事文本的分析,神话思维与科幻品格之间同源共流、密不可分的关系昭然若揭。

Myth is the narration of genesis, while sci-fi has been taken as the narration of technology. It seems that they are basically different, however, they lead to the same direction. Ken Liu, a sci-fi writer of Chineses descendant in America who is good at integrating Chinese folklores into his fictions, created The Waves, which has mixed genesis myths from different nations and tried to depict the grand picture of the human destiny and genesis. Through the analysis of The Waves, it shows the intrinsic relation between mythical ideology and sic-fi quality.
