彼得·魏斯《马车夫的身影》现代主义美学阐释

On Modernist Aesthetics of Peter Weiss's The Shadow of the Body of the Coachman

《马车夫的身影》运用碎片化、拼贴、陌生化、梦幻等手法表现出空间肢解、身体肢解、语言崩溃所造成的逻辑的瓦解和现实的消解。作品极端的艺术手法和主体危机、创作危机的主旨根植于战后德国社会的危机。魏斯的艺术实践正是比格尔关于现代主义小说的极端艺术形式来源于西方现代社会异化现实论点的具体反映。

By means of fragmentation,collage,defamiliarization,and hallucination,The Shadow of the Body of the Coachman presents the collapse of logic and the dissolution of the reality caused by the decomposition of space,the dismemberment of body and the collapse of language. Radical aesthetic expression,leitmotiv of the crisis of subject and literary creation all originate from the postwar crisis of the German society. Peter Weiss’ s artistic exploration is the specific reflection of Peter Bürger’s argument that it is the alienation reality of the modern western society that generates the radical artistic form of the modernist novels.
