从《七色魇集》看沈从文精神世界的挣扎与重造

Analysis of the Struggle and Rebuilding of Shen Congwen’s Spiritual World from The Nightmare of Seven Colors

《七色魇集》是昆明时期沈从文精神世界的真实写照。20世纪40年代,诗意的乌托邦摇摇欲坠,沈从文选择皈依于抽象,但又无从摆脱当下具体而陷入灵魂的破碎,不得不在具象和抽象的二元对立间挣扎。为重铸自我,他选择追回"好的故事"作为抵抗当下现实的方式,在书写中追回抽象的信仰且修复自我,从中也展现着他"向虚空凝眸"和"反抗绝望"的生命姿态。

The Nightmare of Seven Color is a real portraiture of Shen Congwen’s spiritual world in the period of living in Kunming. In the forties, the poetic utopia was on the verge of collapse, he chose to convert to abstraction, but he couldn’t get rid of concreteness and fell into broken soul. He couldn’t help struggling between concreteness and abstraction. To rebuild himself, he chose to look back "good story" as a way to resist the present reality, find faith and restore himself. It shows his life posture of "gazing at vanity" and "resisting desperation".
