跨艺术想象:《帕特森》城市书写的“救赎语言”

Inter-art Imagination: “The Redeeming Language” of Metropolitan Writing in Williams' Paterson

威廉斯长篇史诗《帕特森》以其独具匠心的城市书写,烛照美国社会和个体生存之种种痼疾。本文尝试以'跨艺术想象'和城市书写的'游荡者'为着眼点,通过分析《帕特森》中跨艺术想象下游荡者的主体建构、拼贴画式的过往与现时的时空游荡,进而揭示'寻求救赎语言'乃《帕特森》中游荡的终极所指。而遍布卷五的跨艺术想象正是诗人对'救赎语言'的终极作答,这也契合诗人一贯奉行的'思在物中'的诗学主张。

The epic Paterson illuminates, through its unique metropolitan writing, the various social and individual chronic illnesses. By focusing on the key words of inter-art imagination and ＂flaneur＂ of metropolitan writing, this paper will attempt, through the analysis on the construction of flaneur and the flaneur’s wandering across time and space from the perspective of interart imagination, to reveal that the final designatum of Paterson is to ＂search for the redeeming language＂. It is inter-art imagination in Paterson V that shows Williams’ extraordinary answer to ＂the redeeming language＂, which also corresponds with his poetic conception ＂No ideas, but in things＂.
