母亲神话的营构与民族革命的寓言——夏衍电影中母亲形象的生成与意义探寻

The Construction of the Myth about Mother and the Fable of National Revolution The Generation and Significance of Mother Image in Xia Yan’s Films

夏衍在电影中塑造了一系列正面的充满着“神性”光芒的母亲形象,她们已超越了本身的身份所指,成为夏衍表现与反思民族革命进程的一面镜子。身陷苦海的母亲作为替代性对象,成为最具感召力的民族话语,暗合着夏衍对苦难中国的思考。而他对旧式母亲们迷信思想的解构,对革命母亲的赞颂,体现了他试图借营构母亲神话来阐释民族革命的叙事策略。因此,夏衍笔下的母亲形象是彰显着“神性”光芒的中国式圣母,他所营构的母亲形象在苦难中觉醒,最后走向革命的神话,无疑成为民族革命进程的寓言式文本。

Xia Yan has created a series of positive images of mothers full of“divinity”light in the film,and they have transcended their own identity and become a mirror for Xia Yan to express and reflect on the process of national revolution.The mothers in the sea of suffering as an alternative object become the most in spiring national discourse,in line with Xia Yan's thinking of suffering China.His deconstruction of old-fash ioned mothes’superstitious thoughts and praise of revolutionary mothers reflect his attempt to explain the nar rative strategy of national revolution by constructing the myth about mothers.Therefore,Xia Yan’s mother im age is the Chinese-style Virgin Mary,which shows the light of“divinity”.The mother image he constructed awakens in suffering and finally goes to the myth of revolution,which undoubtedly becomes the fable text of the process of national revolution.
