论《扶桑》的叙事对多重声音的消解

On the Dissolution of Multiple Voices in the Narration of The Lost Daughter of Happiness

探索精神归宿和身份认同是当代华文文学的一个重要命题,为此,《扶桑》采用了多种人称混用的叙事手段,试图确立"你"之声音的独立主体性,以反拨白人关于华人形象的偏见。然而,"你"的独立性不可避免地造成对叙述者声音的否定,导致了关于扶桑形象的多重否定性建构。在"我"与"你"的复调性对话中,扶桑形象的不可解释性造成了对文本多重声音的反讽式否定,并最终只能用神话来承载扶桑无限溢出的形象,同时也导致了自我身份认同的失败。

It is an important proposition in contemporary literatures in Chinese to explore spiritual home and identity.For this reason,The Lost Daughter of Happiness adopts a narrative technique mixing many different pronouns in an attempt to establish the independent subjectivity of the voice of‘you’in opposing the prejudice against the Chinese images by the whites.However,the independence of‘you’inevitably leads to the negation of the narrator’s voice and to the multiple negative construction of the image of Fu Sang.In the polyphonic dialogue between‘I’and‘you’,the inexplicability of Fu Sang’s image leads to the ironic negation of the multiple textual voices,with the final result that only a myth could bear the endlessly flowing image of Fu Sang while,at the same time,leading to a failure in self-identification.
