20世纪初英美文学中的孔子形象

The Image of Confucius in British and American Literature in the Early 20th Century

20世纪初的英美文学呈现出“乌托邦”与“意识形态”双重含混的孔子形象。埃兹拉·庞德、维切尔·林赛与埃德加·马斯特斯将孔子编码为文明智慧与道德秩序的典范,是可作西方镜鉴的“乌托邦”形象。乔伊斯将碎片化的孔子形象杂糅并置于多音复义的字句之内,通过对孔子形象的变形、操弄和整合,再现了自我存在并强化了自我身份。孔子形象成为“意识形态”形象。通过三教交锋中积极入世的孔子形象的呈现,奥尼尔试图在东方哲学中为深陷物质主义的美国社会找到出路。

The British and American literature in the early 20th century present three special Confucius images,which reflect the state of“Utopia”and“Ideology”duality.Ezra Pound,Vachel Lindsay and Edgar Masters code Confucius as a model of civilized wisdom and moral order,and it is a“Utopia”image that can be used as a Western mirror.Joyce reconciles selfexistence and strengthens self-identity by placing the fragmented image of Confucius in the polysyllabic words and by completing the transformation,manipulation and integration of the image of Confucius.The image of Confucius becomes an“ideology”image.Through the presentation of Confucius’s active participation in the world affairs,Eugene O’Neill tried to find a solution in Eastern philosophy for the materialistic American society.
