借东方以反诘西方——索莱尔斯与中国文化

Interrogating the West through the East:Sollers and Chinese Culture

菲利普·索莱尔斯自20世纪60年代至今一直是活跃在法国文坛上的中心人物,并对法语文学不断进行着独有的思考和探索。其创作风格深受中国文化影响,作品中出现了大量对汉字、中国古典诗歌和道家文化的借用。如果说这些中国元素在索莱尔斯早期作品中尚流于形式化并略显突兀,而在20世纪80年代之后的索莱尔斯书写中,有关中国的参照与文本的关联更加紧密,愈发与作品融为一体,浑然天成,真正建立起了东方与西方的对话。通过汲取中国文化的精髓,索莱尔斯大胆挑战法语写作的极限,创新自己的文学创作。

Philippe Sollers has been,since the 1960 s,a central figure of the French literary scene,and he keeps exploring and pondering upon French literature.Chinese culture has such a deep influence on Sollers'swriting that references to Chinese characters,Chinese classical poetry and Taoism are extremely common in his works.Inspired by Chinese culture,Sollers challenged the limits of French writing and carried out audacious innovations in his own literary creation.Although the references to China in his early works may seem slightly abrupt,by combining the borrowings with the text more tightly,a veritable dialogue has been established between East and West in Sollers's writing after the 1980 s.
