权力镜像下的孤独——马尔克斯《族长的没落》中的权力问题

Solitude Reflected in the Power Image: On the Power Issues in Mrquez's The Autumn of the Patriarch

作为拉美魔幻现实主义的代表作家,加西亚·马尔克斯笔下的两大主题是权力与孤独。其长篇小说《族长的没落》用一种"密码"式的写作对这两大主题做了形象的辩证阐释,这套"密码"的逻辑就是:权力是通过制造镜像来实现的,而一旦镜像产生映射作用,则反而会凸显"权力的孤独";越是孤独,权力越是极力从镜像中解除孤独,而镜像则进一步将权力引向更深的孤独;因此,作为拉美地区"极权"象征的族长就是在这样的悖谬之中最终被权力异化。

García Márquez,as a representative of the Latin American magic realism writer,takes pow-er and solitude as the two dominant themes in literary writing. His novel The Autumn of the Patriarch is a dialectical interpretation of such themes in 'code'type of writing. The logic of the'code'is portrayed as follows: the power is implemented by creating a mirror image,and once the mirror image produces a reflection,it will highlight 'solitude of power'; as being more solitude,power will get more strongly to remove the solitude,whereas the mirror image will further lead power to a deeper level of solitude. Therefore,a clan leader,a symbol of 'totalitarianism 'in Latin America,ultimately turns into a power alienation in such a paradox.
