摘要
文章的研究对象是法国当代作家埃里克-埃马纽埃尔·米特的《米拉日巴》。作为一部叙述作品,它既相融于20世纪法国人对西藏密宗大师米拉日巴的接受史,同时又对这一传统有所偏离,造出了一个20世纪末的"新"的"米拉日巴"。从叙事学的角度进行分析,可以看出作品明显的跨文化特征。作者从米拉日巴故事中拈出"仇恨"这个因子,与法国人西蒙的"梦"相互结合拉开作品的序幕,再通过陌生女人的点化来引导故事,这是典型的西方叙事。而支撑作品演进并在其中占据核心位置的却是佛教轮回观。作为作品主题的西蒙的精神变化历程正是依托于内外叙述层的交错变化得以推进和展现的。正是这些不同因素的结合,铸造了一个崭新的"米拉日巴"。
This article tries to articulate about Milarepa written by French writer Eric-Emmanuel Schmitt in 1997. As a“récit”, it conforms to the reception history of Milarepa, a Tibetan great saint, in France in the 20th century, but Eric-Emmanuel Schmitt didn’t portray Milarepa as the traditional description of the saint, he created a new one instead. From the perspective of narratology, it can be found that there are noticeable cross- culture characteristics in his work. The author started his writing by picking out“hatred” from the story of Milarepa and combined it with the“dream”of a French man named Simon, and then continued his story with a strange woman, which is a typical narration of western writers. However, it is Buddhist samsara that pushes the work forward. By interleaving of intra and outer level of narration the work illustrates the progress of Simon’s spiritual enlightenment and creates a totally new“Milarepa”.
