从《隐身衣》看格非小说乌托邦叙事的回归

The Return of Utopian Narrative from Ge Fei's Yin Shen Yi

格非小说《隐身衣》发表于"江南三部曲"(1)之后,若从小说类型、主要人物、故事地点等方面看,二者显然不属于同一个系列,但细读文本,便可发现:格非在《隐身衣》中既承续了《春尽江南》的反乌托邦叙事,又通过探索,找到了"音乐乌托邦",回归了乌托邦叙事。这一"回归",既是不可逆转的历史潮流,又是认识发展的必然结果,还是社会进步的内在要求;不仅实现了从"社会乌托邦"到"精神乌托邦"的"螺旋式"发展,而且实现了乌托邦思想与反乌托邦思想的深度交融。通过乌托邦叙事的回归,格非向我们展现了一部较为完整的中国"乌托邦思想史",一部生动形象的中国"乌托邦探索史",一部气势宏伟的中国人的"乌托邦史诗"。

Ge Fei＇s Yin Shen Yi was published after Jiangnan Trilogy. Seen from the novel type,main characters,story places,etc. they don＇t belong to the same series apparently. However,after reading the text carefully,we can find that in Yin Shen Yi Ge Fei continues the anti-utopian narrative of Chun Jin Jiang Nan,and that he finds the ＂musical utopia＂and returns to the utopian narrative through exploration. This ＂return＂is an irreversible historical trend,an inevitable result of knowledge development and an intrinsic requirement for the social progress. It achieves not only the ＂spiral＂development from the ＂social utopia＂to the ＂spiritual utopia＂,but also the deep blend of the utopian and anti-utopian thoughts. Through the return of utopian narrative,he shows us a relatively complete Chinese ＂utopian thought history＂,a vivid Chinese ＂utopian exploration history＂and a magnificent Chinese ＂utopian epic＂.
