危机时刻下的现代性寓言——以《悬荡》《封锁》《南方高速》为例

On the Modernity Allegory under a Moment of Crisis ——Comparison among Hanging, Blocked, South Highway

张大春的《悬荡》、张爱玲的《封锁》以及阿根廷作家胡里奥·科塔萨尔的《南方高速》这三个短篇小说以极为相似的情节结构、互有共通的现代性指涉,默契地书写了20世纪的时代寓言,表达了他们对现代人生命存在状态的不同思考。这三个短篇小说都创设了一个危机时刻下的封闭空间为背景来展开叙事,制造了外在封闭环境与内心开放世界的悖反关系的转化。作家以极慢的叙事节奏和全知视角凝视了现代人的日常,对现代性进行再思与批判。这三篇小说表现出一种叙述与寓意上的同型结构,即在叙述中否定叙述行为,在寄寓中消解所寓之意,同时也在这一结构的完成中,形成了三位作家各有不同的醒世思考与忧虑。

The three short,stories,Hanging written by Zhang Dachun from Taiwan,Blocked by Zhang Ailing from Hongkong,South Highway by Argentina writer Julio Cortazar,narrated era allegories of twentieth century coincidentally,expressing the meditations towards life existence state of modern hu-mans,with quite similar structures and interconnected modernity metaphors.These three short,stories all narrate with a background of enclosed space under emergency,causing conversion of a contraclictive rela-tionship between external enclosed environment and internal open-minded world.Writers gazed at the daily life of modern humans,with hyperslow narrative rhythm and omniscient perspective,giving reflec-tion and criticism on modernity.These three short,stories enjoy a both narrative and allegoric homotype structure:denying the narrating practice during the very narration,and deconstruct the implied connota-tions exactly when projecting connotations.Meanwhile,composing this homotype structure helped writers form diverse universal meditation and concern.
