宗教·文学·人生——奥康纳镜像的文化透视

Religion,Literature and Life

宗教、文学与人生是奥康纳创作中始终着意放大交织为三位一体的最基本的精神境界和叙事的精神维度。奥康纳以一种独特的人生自我预设与生命存在病痛的书写诉求,无比有力地彰显出一种被动式地陷入一种沉溺性的悖谬或虚诞的哲理意蕴。事实上,奥康纳伴随着病痛的哲学沉思,探寻与追求"此在意义"是其美学书写的根本动因。本文将着眼于三方面内容的关注:一是信仰与写作:一种神性的东西;二是谦卑与虔敬:认识自己所缺乏的东西;三是骄傲与局限:人类的自然本性。透过对奥康纳书写文本的叙事分析,解读其关于人性与存在的哲学沉思与美学想象。在其哲理性颇深的系列小说中,奥康纳以对"当下"、"未来"与"彼岸"的刻画与窥伺,开启了其迈向自我生命多重纠葛的烛照性书写。

Religion,literature and life are the basic spiritual world and narrative spiritual dimension which O＇Connor deliberatily magnified and integrated in his creation. With a unique life self-presupposition and appeal to existence with pair in his writing,O＇Connor made effort to exhibit a passive involvement in indulged paradox or incredible philosophical implications. As a matter of fact,O＇Connor attempted to explore or pursue ＂on the sport significance in the course of painful philosophical reflection,which became the basic drive for his aesthetic writing.This paper focuses on the contents in three aspects：（ 1） faith and writing,which is something divine;（ 2） humblity and piety,by which one may learn what one lacks;（ 3） pride and limitation,which is human nature. Through analyzing the narrative feature of O＇Connor＇s writing,we can interpret his philosophical thinking concerning humanity and life and his aesthetic imagination. In his series of novels with profound philosophy,O＇Connor＇s description of the ＂present＂,＂future＂and ＂afterworld＂commensed the self-illuminating writing of life full of entanglements.
