从“江南三部曲”看乌托邦实践的个体困境

The Individual Difficulty in the Realization of Utopia-Taking Three Stories Happened in Regions South of the Yangtze Rive

对乌托邦的追缅与实践是"江南三部曲"的重要主题之一,这一主题使作品成为一部知识分子对理想社会形式的追寻史,同时也是一部乌托邦实践的溃败史,作者用生动的文学世界诠释了种种乌托邦实践的悲剧。与通常情况不同的是,格非并没有重在表现乌托邦本身的局限,也没有将这一场场通向乌托邦的革命实践引向社会、政治甚至道德层面,而是把它们带入了某种隐秘的人性深处。他笔下的人物也不是图解宏大历史所用的个别符号,而是被凸显内心矛盾、展示心路历程的历史主体,他们偶然的决定或脆弱的性格成就了衰败的历史瞬间,或者说,人物个体所呈现的局限性成为乌托邦不可付诸实践的重要缘由。

The pursuit and practice of Utopia is one of the important themes of Trilogy of Regions South of the Yangtze Rive, which makes the work a history of intellectual＇s pursuit of an ideal society form and a history of the failed practices of Utopia. The author introduces the practice failure of Utopia with a vivid literature world. And what is different is that Ge Xin neither focuses on the expression of the limitations of the Utopia nor interprets various revolutionary practices aimed to realize Utopia from the social, political and even moral perspectives, but interprets them with some mysterious humanity. Characters made by Ge Xin are not individual graphical symbols used for the interpretation of grand history, but the subject of history with highlighted inner contradiction and life experience, whose accidental decisions or fragile character lead to the history decaying, and in other words the individual limitations become an important reason for the practice failure of Utopia.
