伪满洲国与假亲属关系——以穆儒丐《新婚别》为个案的考察

Manchuria and Fictive Kinship Relations——A Case Study of Post-Wedding Separation by Mu Rugai

满族作家穆儒丐于1942年发表在《麒麟》上的短篇小说《新婚别》不仅探索了婚姻真假的问题,而且涉及军队甚至国家的结构与本体论问题,是一篇长期被忽略又值得深入探究的作品。具体说,小说描写文英与凤姑的"虚礼假面子"婚姻可以作为当时伪满洲国社会/政治状况的一种比喻,包含了家庭、军队与国家的思想矛盾,特别值得分析的是典礼与信念对这些社会结构的创作所起到的作用。

The short story Post-Wedding Separation by Manchu author Mu Rugai published in the journal Qilin in1942explores not only the difference between real and fake marriage,but also structural and ontological considerations relating to the status of the military and even the nation.In particular,the story’s description of the“empty ritual and false face”marriage between the protagonists Wenying and Fenggu can be taken as a metaphor for the socio-political status of the contemporary state of Manchukuo,and specifically its reliance on a set of ideological contradictions at the familial,military,and national level.Of particular interest is the role that ritual and belief play in constituting this sort of social structure.
