一沙一世界：读王笛著《袍哥：1940年代川西乡村的暴力与秩序》

The World in a Grain of Sand: On Wang Di’s New Book Pao Ge:Violence and Order in the Rural Areas of Western Sichuan in the 1940s

王笛先生新著《袍哥:1940年代川西乡村的暴力与秩序》展现了袍哥群体日常生活的多个面相。作为一部微观史著作,其具有不可忽视的范式意义:该著聚焦于“小人物”群像,从碎片化的历史事件中,进行扬弃“碎片化”的历史场景复原;通过多向度的文本叙事,形成叙事话语的互文交错和叙事空间的多维重构,从而显现出微观书写的张力。

Mr.Wang Di's new book Pao Ge:Violence and Order in the Rural Areas of West Sichuan in the 1940s shows the rich daily life of Pao Ge in modern Sichuan.As a microcosmic historical work,it has a paradigm significance that can not be ignored.Focusing on the image of"nobody",the book restores the historical scene of discarding"fragmentation"from the fragmentation of historical events.Through multi-dimensional text narration,the narrative discourse is intertwined and the narrative space is superimposed and reconstructed,thus showing the tension of narration in the multi-dimensional narrative space.
