当代小说中的“铁路叙事”

The “Railway Narrative” in Contemporary Fiction

当代小说中的"铁路"意象是作为一个特殊叙事代码活跃在作家们的叙事文本中的,透露着作家们不同的声音。暧昧的现代性表达了对新时期理性和人格的追求与对时代精神病相的批判;不同文明的冲撞反映出西方文明对东方文明的消解而产生的对民族文明的忧虑;追求人性自由传达出对当下物质社会的过度追逐造成的心灵困境而迫切逃离的希求。这三者共同构成了当代小说铁路叙事的重要内容,作家以铁路为叙事模式充分表达出对当下社会问题的深刻思考。

These three problems constitute the important content of the contemporary novel railway narrative. Writers fully express the profound thinking of the current social problems by taking the railway as the narrative mode.
