湖湘巫觋人文的诗性烛照——论马笑泉《巫地传说》

Poetic View on Hunan Sorcerers’ Humanities:On Ma Xiaoquan’s The Legend of Witch Land

马笑泉的《巫地传说》以奇人、奇事为中心,在时代蜕变中为读者展示了一帧帧湖湘斑斓独特的巫觋人文图景。在展示这些巫觋人文之时,马笑泉并非一味认同和亲和,也不是简单地批判与否定,而是认同和拒绝、疏离和亲近的交织,是理性批判和感性认同的激荡,是持存的超越和失去的惆怅的融汇。同时,《巫地传说》在结构处理、"志怪"取向上,也是独具一格。

Ma Xiaoquan’s The Legend of Witch Land focuses on strange people and wonders, and presents the readers with a unique frame of sorcerers’ humanities. When displaying these sorcerers’ humanities, Ma Xiaoquan does not blindly show acceptance and friendliness, nor simply demonstrate criticism and negation, but interweaves identification and rejection, alienation and affinity, which is the agitation of rational criticism and emotional identi?cation, and the blending of persistent transcendence and lost melancholy. At the same time, The Legend of Witch Land is also unique in its structural design and orientation of"mythical stories".
