堀田善卫的《历史》和战后日本文坛的中国表述

Hotta Yoshie's Rekishi and China-related Discourse in the Postwar Japanese Literature

1953年11月由新潮社发行的长篇小说《历史》是日本战后作家堀田善卫创作的所有中国题材小说中篇幅最长、叙事结构最复杂、出场人物最多的作品,在日本文学史上有"战后最宏大的政治小说之一"的评价。本文的研究目标在于通过最大限度地利用创作笔记、作家手稿以及其他相关一手档案资料,深入解读《历史》的创作手法、创作过程、文本结构以及作者对茅盾《子夜》和马尔罗《人的状况》的模仿和重构;本文还试图以堀田善卫的《历史》为案例研究战败后日本文坛的"中国"表述及其特质,尝试由一项具体的文本分析出发,管窥战后初期日本社会在对华表述和对华认知上所表现出的特点。

Rekishi （1953） is a novel written by the postwar Japanese writer Hotta Yoshie. It is not only his most important China-related novel but also considered as one of the most important political novels in the postwar Japanese literature. This paper conducts a study of Rekishi by using primary data recently discovered. It aims to clarify the writing techniques, creative process, textual structure of Rekishi and the intertextuality between Rekishi, Mao Dun＇s novel Ziye （1933） and Andr6 Malraux＇s novel La Condition humaine （1933）. It also aims to look into the nature of China-related discourse in the postwar Japanese literature.
