On Visual Modernity Dimension of Supplement of a Journey to the West

《西游补》是一部视觉大观,对视看的指涉贯穿小说整个的语言文本。全书的行文和架构都离不开视看的参与,是视觉体验作为主线将《西游补》勾连开来,完成思想艺术的传达。这部看似荒诞迷离的梦幻小说,开启了中国古代小说视觉现代性的新天地。其视觉现代性主要体现在三个维度的建构:其一,《西游补》的读者具有观看者的身份,以感性主观的自由视看人的角色融入此书所提供的视觉盛宴;其二,《西游补》的主人公孙悟空通过种种视觉体验,其自我意识逐渐觉醒,孙悟空正是在视觉迷途上不断挣扎的过程中完成自我救赎;其三,《西游补》的作者董说在自己创造的种种视觉游戏中,实现了对自我本真的复归。
