语言和主体性:彼特・汉德克管窥

Language and Subjectivity:A Critical Review of Peter Handke Studies

2019年,诺贝尔文学奖得主彼特・汉德克以特立独行的形象和独具风格的作品成为世界文坛的焦点。本文从语言和主体性两方面入手,试图勾勒西方评论界对汉德克的研究。首先,汉德克早期的戏剧形式创新及其思想渊源、后现代叙事风格、诗学观和政治观的联系、后期神话化风格和神秘主义倾向体现了语言的独创力。其次,汉德克同“新主体性”文学的关联、自传性风格、风景主题和饱受批评的政治立场都与他对个体经验和主体性的关注密不可分。

Peter Handke,winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature in 2019,has been receiving international attention for his provoking public image and distinctive literary style.This article reviews Peter Handke studies in the west that focus on his creative use of language and attention to subjectivity.First,his formal innovation has been approached from several aspects,including his early experiment in dramatic forms and its intellectual roots,his association with postmodern narration,his connection between politics and poetics,and his late mythological style and mystical tendency.Second,it has been argued that Handke pays a continuous attention to individual experience,which is his main subject matter.This is manifested in his affiliation with the literary school of New Subjectivity,his autobiographical style,his thematic concern with landscape,and hiscontroversial politics.
