表层叙事与深层抒情:重审美国自白派诗歌

Explicit Narration and Implicit Lyricism: A Review of American Confessional Poetry

美国自白派诗歌将叙事与抒情融为一体,为诗歌叙事学提供了丰富的研究文本。一方面,美国自白派诗人在创作过程中消解了西方诗歌的抒情传统,以日常生活作为表现对象;另一方面,这些诗人不再只将日常生活局限于表现工具,而是从个体生活中找寻经验并进行想象性表达,借助强烈的主观色彩和自我表露打破传统日常叙事的冷静客观。美国自白派诗歌在表层叙事中仍然包含着强烈的主观化、私人化个体情绪,因而文本深层仍具备抒情特征。

Containing an integration of narration and lyric,American Confessional Poetry provides rich research texts for the study of poetry narratology. American confessional poets dispelled the lyric tradition of western poetry and took daily life as the object of expression while they no longer regarded the daily life only as their tool of expression but seek experience from individual life and express it imaginatively. In this way they broke the coolness and objectivity of traditional daily narrative with the help of a strong sense of subjective color and self-expression. American Confessional Poetry still carries strong subjective and personal emotions in the explicit narrative,so lyric characteristics are still embodied in the deep text.
