拉什迪的童话诗学和文本政治

On Salman Rushide's Fairy Tale Poetics and Textual Politics

通过系统研究"后冷战"时期最有影响力同时又最具争议性的作家拉什迪,整体性地把握拉什迪小说的"结构性原则",管窥其童话书写背后的政治思想和伦理意义,可以发现,在拉什迪小说中,后殖民主义表现为一种意识形态,后现代主义则为一种写作策略,两者的合力形成了一种独特而杂糅的后殖民+后现代的"童话诗学"。拉什迪以"外显作者"的名义与广大读者直接进行道德互动,鼓吹文化上的多元主义、经济上的自由主义、军事上的个人英雄主义和政治上的无政府主义思想。拉什迪的童话诗学具有文学"创世纪"的意味,由此而生的文本政治停留在修辞层面上,属于议而不决、破而不立的空想主义。

This paper probes into ＂the structural principle＂ of the works by Salman Rushide, the most influential and controversial writer in the post-Cold War era, with special attention to the political platform and ethical significance of his postmodern and postcolonial fairy tales. In his oeuvre, post- colonialism manifests itself as an ideology, and postmodemism as a writing strategy. Rushdie interacts morally with his vast readership in the name of ＂explicit authors＂, while publicizing cultural pluralism, economic liberalism, military individualism and political anarchism. His fairy tale poetics is thus tinted with some sort of literary genesis, which gives rise to a textual politics on a rhetorical level, basically a kind of utopianism.
