历史驱魅与“塞壬的歌声”——重读古华《爬满青藤的木屋》

History's Disenchantment and Siren's Song

古华《爬满青藤的木屋》的主题既不能用"文明与愚昧的冲突"来一语道尽,也不能将之提升至启蒙与反启蒙的高度;在历史驱魅后的语义逻辑中,它关涉的其实是一个关于人与诱惑永恒纠缠的人性与道德伦理议题,一种生存经验遭遇他种生存经验时的主体性困境和生存悖论,即人追求可能生活的希望与虚妄。

The theme of'Huts covered with ivy'by Gu Hua cannot be reduced to'the clash of civilization and ignorance',nor can it be raised to the height of the anti-enlightenment or enlightenment. In the semantic logic of historical enchantment,it actually involves the humanity and ethical issues in the eternal struggle between man and the temptation,which is a subjectivity dilemma and survival paradox in human's pursuit of sincere hope and false hopes.
