女性叙事·个人话语·集体记忆——以梅卓长篇小说《神授·魔岭记》为例

Personal Discourse and Collective Memory in Female Narrative:——A Case Study of Me-sgrol’s Fiction Divine Revelation:A Legend of Bdud-Ling

女性叙事是藏族当代作家文学不可忽视的重要组成部分,而梅卓的文学创作无疑是独树一帜的。梅卓新近出版的长篇小说《神授·魔岭记》将藏族民间文学和神话资源引入作家文本创作,讲述了藏区一个游牧部落——“东查仓部落”格萨尔史诗神授艺人的故事。叙事打破了梦境、虚幻和现实之间的壁垒,将虚构的故事与实际的故事交织在一起,亦真亦幻,其想象力和诗意植根于“东查仓部落”真实的生活和藏地的现实世界。从民间口头文学格萨尔史诗说唱到长篇小说的书面创作,小说家的个人话语并不完全来自于自身经验,而是基于民族集体记忆的再想象与再创作,折射出文学生产、史诗传播及其阅读接受过程中格萨尔史诗的大众审美取向和情感结构转型。女性的叙事视角赋予了作品丰富的感性色彩和独特的抒情性,而对13岁少年神授艺人阿旺罗罗的成长历程及其情感世界和个体生命体验的细腻表达,既有童话的天真又有寓言的犀利,超越了女性叙事与特定民族叙事格局,呈现出宽广的文化立场和人性的温度。

In recent Tibetan ethnic literature,female narrative forms a crucial part that cannot be ignored.When cultural context,aesthetics and emotional structure witness changes in the New Era,Me-grol accordingly incorpo⁃rates the resource of legends in Tibetan folk literature into her creative writing of the recent published fiction Di⁃vine Revelation:A Legend of Bdud-Ling.From the well-known Gesar Epic to the text of a fiction,the author’s personal narrative is not solely derived from her own experience,but a collective memory that is made meaningful by the author’s re-imagination.Me-grol’s writing reflects the focus of current Tibetan literature,as well as the turning point of popular aesthetics and emotions toward the Epic of King Gesar.This fiction is a personal narra⁃tive and a collective memory from a female perspective,shedding light on current trends of production of litera⁃ture,transmission of epic stories and the audience’s reception.The author’s bold imagination,special way of sto⁃ry telling and her detailed description of the epic singer’s inner world and life-experience,all demonstrate the meanings of the old epic in our contemporary world.Me-grol’s fiction surpasses the scope of female writers or ethnic narrative,and carries a wider cultural meaning and more profound understanding of humanity as a whole.
