论纳博科夫作品中的记忆呈现

The Presentation of Memory in Nabokov's Works

记忆对于纳博科夫的文学创作至关重要,其作品中的记忆呈现深受法国哲学家亨利·柏格森的时间和记忆哲学,尤其是其"绵延"概念的影响。纳博科夫作品中的记忆表现为将过去和现在融合起来、超越当前知觉并打破时间局限的空间化视觉记忆意象。这种记忆的呈现方式与纳博科夫本人的流亡生活经历相关,而这种主体化的个人记忆也成为对抗非个人化的历史进程的方式。

Memory is essential for Nabokov＇ s literary creation. His literary presentation of memory is strongly influenced by the French philosopher Henri Bergson, especially by his concept of duration. The memory in his works usually breaks time limit, transcends the present perception and fuses the past and the present, and is represented as spatialized visionary mnemonic images. This kind of memory presentation is closely related to Nabokov＇ s exile experience and such a subjective and personal memory performs as resistance to impersonal history.
