解构与重构--《雨王汉德森》的侨易新解

Deconstructing and Reconstructing:A New Research on Henderson the Rain King under Kiao-Iology

美国犹太裔作家索尔·贝娄的小说《雨王汉德森》主人公汉德森在美国消费社会遭受集体创伤、个体创伤的双重影响,面临着"陷进去"还是"走出去"的寻求自我的抉择。结合侨易学理论,分析受创者汉德森在侨出原语境、侨入异语境的地理位移中经历重要事件之"易"变作用,探究其解构创伤、重构自我、形成共同体认知的全过程。值得注意的是,汉德森的创愈之旅勾勒出贝娄建构的创伤修复与侨居异地之间千丝万缕的关联,开辟了阐释贝娄对人类生存方式和生命价值的人文主义关怀的新空间。

Henderson,the hero in Saul Bellow’s Henderson the Rain King,suffers from collective and individual trauma,and the choice of seeking self by"involving" or"moving"in the American consumer society. Combined with Kiao-Iology,this paper analyzes Henderson’s experiencing the milestone of"changing"in the geographical displacement from the original context into heterogeneous contexts,observing the process of trauma deconstruction,self-reconstruction and forming a new cognition of the community. Specifically,Henderson’s recovery witnessed Bellow’s construction for the inextricable connection between recovery and migration,opening up a new space for Bellow to explain his humanistic concern for the way of human existence and the value of life.
