性时代的书写——论韦勒别克的文学创作

The Writing of a Sexual Era: Houellebecq's Literary Creation

2010年龚古尔奖得主米歇尔·韦勒别克是法国当代文坛屈指可数的大家,他的作品标新立异,充斥着对西方消费社会的挑衅和对人类普世价值的敌视。性现象的泛滥是作家文本里的一大特色,书写中的性赤裸大胆,超越了色情文学的尺度。从弗洛伊德精神分析的角度,韦勒别克在创作里将重点从性冲动对象拉回到性冲动本身,在性行为书写的本真状态里让淫秽和诗意并行不悖。人物由于年少时的性心理创伤而拒绝成长,发展出病态的心理表征。作者的书写投射的是性时代的视野,在对后现代社会的性解构中,竖起了科幻乌托邦的旗帜。

The 2010 Goncourt Prize winner Michel Houellebecq is among the few great French contemporary writers.His works are filled with provocations against both the Western consumer society and the human universal values. The flooding of sexual scenes,even more explicit than pornographic literature,is a major feature of his fiction. Fom the perspective of Freudian psychoanalysis,Houellebecq shifts his focus from the object of sexual impulses to the sexual impulse itself,allowing the obscene and poetics to go hand in hand in his writing about sex in its true state. Due to their childhood sexual traumas,his fictional figures refuse to grow up and develop symptoms of mental disorder. His project of writing is a vision of the modern sexual era. In the deconstruction of the post-modern society,the writer puts up the banner of a science fiction utopia.
