从“应许之地”到“末日之城”--哥伦比亚当代文学中的两种“朝圣”故事变体

From the Promised Land to the City of Doom:Two Variants of the Pilgrimage Story in Contemporary Colombian Literature

自中古以降,朝圣故事及"人生即朝圣"的主题在西班牙文学中一直回响不绝,直至20世纪的西语美洲文学经典中仍能觅得变体。本文选择两位哥伦比亚作家的代表作(加西亚·马尔克斯的《百年孤独》和费尔南多·巴列霍的《杀手圣母》)为个案,考察二者如何套用、戏仿和颠覆"直线"与"环形"的朝圣范式,建构纸上的(反)朝圣之旅,书写当下国族命运的新章。

Stories of pilgrims under the theme of Homo Peregrinus have persisted over time in Spanish Peninsular literature since the Middle Ages,variants of which have found their way into the classics of Hispanic American literature of the twentieth century.The present article proposes a comparative analysis of two masterpieces by Colombian writers,García Márquez’s One Hundred Years of Solitude and Fernando Vallejo’s Our Lady of the Assassins.By examining how García Márquez and Vallejo appropriate,parody and subvert respectively the paradigms of the"linear"and the"circular"in pilgrimage story-telling,it is argued that their writings correspond to the(counter)pilgrimage while inserting a new chapter in Colombian national history.
