乡土乌托邦:《长恨歌》“邬桥”形象研究

Rural Utopia:a Study on the Image of “Wuqiao” in The Everlasting Regret

“邬桥”是王安忆在其代表作《长恨歌》中安排的一个独特的文化场域。它作为主人公王琦瑶危难时期的避风港,不仅在情节上完成了自身在物质形象与精神形象双重层面的合二为一,配合着文本的主旋律———上海共同勾勒出王琦瑶生命线条,同时也被赋予了“渡”与“本质”等象征意义,承担着乡土乌托邦式“世外桃源”的角色扮演。其所蕴含的神性和母性在通过镜像视角的解构后,以特殊的成像结构与成像规律回溯着传统文明的内核。由此,与上海同处在二元结构体中的邬桥,在成功“回望”传统文明之后完成了与象征现代文明的上海的对峙与连接,呈现出既包容开放又背离反抗的复杂纠缠态势。

Wuqiao is a unique cultural setting in Wang Anyi’s The Everlasting Regret.As a shelter for the protagonist Wang Qiyao from crisis,Wuqiao not only is the combination of the material image and the spiritual image,but also sketches the life of Wang Qiyao in line with the main setting--Shanghai.At the same time,it has the symbolic meanings of"transcendentalism"and"essence"and plays the role of rural Utopia.Deconstructed from the perspective of image,with the particular imaging structure and imaging law,the divinity and maternity contained in it reflect the essence of traditional civilization.In the binary structure with Shanghai,having reflected the traditional civilization,Wuqiao completes its confrontation and connection with Shanghai,the representative of modern civilization,which presents an image of toleration and openness as well as departure and resistance.
