见证与控制--评普里莫·莱维的“客观叙述”

Testimony and Restraint: On Primo Levi’s “Objective Narratives”

见证纳粹大屠杀不仅需要避开情感的过度宣泄,也需要避免理性对创伤的象征化缝合,作为大屠杀幸存者的莱维凭借故事叙述形式、创伤修辞以及碎片式评论的"客观叙述"完成了其幸存的使命。更为重要的是,这种幸存传达的不是沉淀下来的道德观念,而是不断作用并维系人类整体关联的"活的伦理遗嘱"。

For the testimony of the Nazi Holocaust,it not only entails distancing the inexorability of emotional release,but also preventing the symbolic suture of rationalizing it. As a survivor of the Holocaust,Levi accomplishes his mission of surviving in his "Objective Narratives"justified by the form of storytelling,trauma rhetoric and fragmentary commentaries. More importantly,instead of passing some moral ideas,such surviving contrarily yields"the live testament"that consistently effects the entire human connection.
