汪应果:文学“抢跑者”的审美“辎重”

The Aesthetic‘Baggage'of a Writer Who ‘Jumps the Gun’: On Wang Yingguo

汪应果是一位文学教授,更是一位小说作家。作为文学教授,他的思维总是领先于他所处的时代,我把他称为"抢跑者"。在比赛规则中,"抢跑者"总是要受到惩罚的,于是他在自己的文学教育生涯经常因为这种先锋性的行为受到治理。但是,他并不是一个先锋派的人物,他在审美方面总是带着19世纪俄罗斯的忧郁风格,他的创作总是充满着对社会的莫大关怀,对人生痛楚的承担,这在走向现代化的时代又形成了他的审美"辎重"。

Wang Yingguo is a professor of literature and he is also a writer of fiction.As a professor,he always runs ahead of his time with his thoughts,which is why I describe him as someone who‘jumps the gun’.In the rules of a game,if someone jumps the gun,he or she will be punished.Similarly,in his literary and educational career,his avant-garde behaviour is often regulated although he is not an avant-gardist.Aesthetically,his is a melancholy style of the Russian kind in the19th century and his writing always shows concern for the society and forbearance of human pain,which forms his aesthetic‘baggage’in a time that moves towards modernisation.
