明代中后期艳情小说“性”意象模式之生成机制探究

RESEARCH ON THE GENERATIVE MECHANISM OF SEX IMAGE MODE IN EROTIC NOVELS IN THE MIDDLE AND LATE MING DYNASTY

明代中后期,相继出现了一批文言和白话艳情小说。受纵欲主义思潮和市场文化的影响,这类小说的叙事从形象塑造、情节叙述到语言修辞都发生了明显变化,突出地表现在"性"意象模式的膜拜与建构上:作品人物沦为"性"的符号和欲望消费的客体,意象本身从审美形象滑向观念意象;文本修辞中的换喻功能增强,欲望溢出理性的规范;与此同时,文本格调旨趣日益低下,呈现出"俗""艳"倾向。本文以审美表现理性和文化功能主义为支点,揭櫫这种意象模式的内在生成机制与文化趣味及其对后世文学创作、文化格局的影响。

In the middle and late Ming Dynasty, there have been a number of classical Chinese and vernacular erotic novels, Influenced by the carnalism thought and market culture, the novel narrative has changed obviously from image creation, plot narration to language rhetoric, highlighting the worship and construction of the sex image mode. The characters in the works become the sex symbol and the object of desire consumption, the image itself transforms from the aesthetic image to the ideaimage; the function of Metonymy in text rhetoric is enhanced, and the desire overflows the nonn of reason ;at the same time, the style of the text is becoming lower and lower, showing the tendency of vulgarity and beauty. Based on aesthetic performance rationality and cultural functionalism, this paper reveals the inner forming mechanism and cultural taste of this image model, and its influence on the literary creation and cultural pattern of later generations.
