《赛姆勒先生的行星》中的创伤与疗伤

Trauma and Healing in Mr.Sammler's Planet

索尔·贝娄的《赛姆勒先生的行星》是关于犹太裔二战幸存者赛姆勒的小说,属于"幸存者文学"或"见证文学"。文本贯穿了主人公的日常生活叙事和创伤事件记忆,创伤事件对主人公形成了难以弥合的创伤,主人公带有责任意识地反思灾难,在现实生活中走出灾难阴霾,获得精神重生,因此,这部作品也是一种疗伤文学。疗伤有着双重意义,一重是赛姆勒的个人疗伤过程,二重是修复犹太种族创伤。贝娄在建构文本的同时,也是在"言说"、治疗自己的种族创伤。

Saul Bellow＇ s Mr.Sammler＇s Planet is about a Jewish survivor of World War II, so it can be called a kind of ＂ survivor literature＂ or ＂ testimony literature＂.The text is mingled with the protagonist＇ s narration of daily life and the memory of the traumatic event.The traumatic event has formed a long-lasting wound to the protagonist, who reflects the disaster with a sense of responsibility.It takes a lot of efforts for him to walk out of the shadow and get spiritual rebirth.Thus this work is also a kind of healing literature with double meanings.One is for the individual Sammler＇s healing, the other is for collective trauma healing.In fact, Bellow in constructing the text intended to ＂say＂ and heal his own Jewish racial trauma as well.
