新世纪欧华文学中的“二战”记忆书写

Writing About the Memory of the Second World War in European-Chinese Literature Since the New Century

作为"二战"策源地的欧洲,表现"二战"与大屠杀题材、反思战争和人性的文学作品层出不穷。21世纪以来,欧华作家不约而同地选择"二战"记忆书写,透过长篇小说的宏观视野表现欧洲乃至人类史上的战争灾难、生命创伤和灵魂救赎主题。作品或强调以个人记忆抵抗集体遗忘的写作,或在特定历史场景中打捞战争往事,或彰显人类面对大屠杀悲剧时的爱心拯救,或呈现"活在纳粹之后"各色人等的生命图景,发掘美好的人性、爱情及和平愿景之于战争的超越力量。这些"二战"记忆书写,成为欧华作家长篇小说创作超越的一种标志。

Europe,the original place of World War Two,has various literature creations that represent the theme of World War Two,Holocaust and reflect on war and humanity. Since the new century,European-Chinese writers have continuously embraced with this land and its history. They all have chosen the theme of memory of World War Two to express disaster of war,life trauma and soul redemption to Europe as well as to history of all human beings through a macroscopic view of novels. These works emphasize on writings of personal memory to resist collective amnesia,or on recalling the past events under specific historical scenes,or on showing love of humanity in front of tragedy of the Holocaust,or on presenting different pictures of lives after the Nazis. The works particularly have showed that power of humanity,love and desire for peace overcame the war. In addition,the writing of memory of World War Two by European-Chinese writers has also become a symbol of transcendence of their novel creations.
