写给城市的一曲挽歌——解读卡尔维诺《看不见的城市》的空间诗学

An elegy for the city——Calvino’s space Poetics

这是一部关于城市问题最具灵性思考的神奇之作。黄昏的御花园里,暮年的蒙古大帝忽必烈汗凝神倾听来自威尼斯的使节马可·波罗——青年商人旅行家——讲述他所到访过的城市:那些记忆中的城市、欲望化的城市、贸易中的城市、被符号化的城市等一系列沉重的或轻盈的城市。这本书最大的魅力,就是在一种互动性的对话式阅读中,通过激活读者的想象与思考,尽情地释放读者关于城市记忆、历史与现实问题的无尽遐想,从而将读者带回到他自身所生活的时代,由此引发我们阅读'城市'的兴致与对城市问题的持续关注。
