论《我脑袋里的怪东西》中麦夫鲁特的街头漫游

Study on Mevlut's Flaneuring in A Strangeness in My Mind

奥尔罕·帕慕克所写小说《我脑袋里的怪东西》中的主人公麦夫鲁特,因其街头小贩身份以及他对身边城市世界的好奇和观察,具有本雅明所论述的都市漫游者的多重特征。他对伊斯坦布尔城近半个世纪的历时观察,以及相应的怀旧情感和行为,构成了对该城城市记忆的呼唤。此外,麦夫鲁特也十分执着于个人记忆和身份,其漫游成为抵抗现代时空概念、从而维持其身份统一的重要方式。这一人物的街头漫游和呼喊,究其本质,体现了作者帕慕克书写伊斯坦布尔城及其记忆的现代使命,还有他本人对记忆、时间和身份等问题的哲学思考。

Mevlut, the protagonist in Orhan Pamuk＇s latest novel A Strangeness in My Mind, is a street vendor and holds curious observation on the city, which helps him to become an urban flaneur that Walter Benjamin had depicted. His diachronic observation on Istanbul lasting for nearly half a century, together with related nostalgic feeling and behavior, is recalling the city＇s memory. Besides, Mevlut is greatly concerned about his personal memory and identity. The flaneuring is the vital method for him to fight against the concepts of time and space and to maintain the consistence of identity. This protagonist＇s flaneuring, essentially speaking, displays Pamuk＇s contemporary mission to write about Istanbul and its memory, and his philosophical refections on issues such as identity, memory and time.
