《穆斯林的葬礼》叙事学分析

An Analysis on the Narrative Art of The Muslim's Funeral

《穆斯林的葬礼》运用整体倒叙的结构,从未亡人的视角,以前行的时间来追述业已终止的时间,通常的代际谱系被这种双线交错的叙事完全打破。各章节中的多处插叙挖掘了历史的背面,对"玉长河"的重复叙述作为插叙的重要内容之一,其本身也隐喻着永恒与有限。《穆斯林的葬礼》对古老的叙事结构进行了重新书写和改装,具体表现为"才子佳人"式爱情的不断破灭和"复仇"模式的再现。

The Muslim ,s Funeral adopts the narrative art of flashback from the perspective of a widow, which breaks the normal intergenerational spectrum. The narration in several chapters interspersed with flashbacks explores something behind the history..As an important part of flashbacks, the repetitive narra- tion of ＂jade river＂ is a metaphor of eternity and finity. The old narrative structure is recreated and modi- fied in The Muslim , s Funeral by the narration of the shattering of the genius-and-beauty romance and the reappearance of the model of revenge.
