修辞、语境与叙事策略——新移民文学抗战叙事的史料化倾向与意义建构

Rhetoric,Context and Narrative Strategy:The Historical Tendency and Meaning Construction of the Narrative of the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression in New Immigrant Literature

近些年,新移民作家的抗战叙事常常用大量的史料入文,文本呈现出明显的"史料化"倾向。这种倾向是作家进入历史的一种可能途径和方式,也是新移民作家在跨文化书写语境中吸纳和融合多元文化的表征。其在营造真实的历史叙事质感、造就各具特色的创作风格的同时,也体现了新移民作家的叙事声音和价值立场。而且,这些史料的运用与新移民文学抗战叙事的意义生成也具有内在契合性——它使新移民文学抗战叙事更注重开掘个体生命受难和人性拷问的向度,突破了抗战叙事单一的国族话语立场,既呈现出可贵的创新魅力,也为海外华文文学叙事提供了颇多启示。

In recent years,new immigrant writers in the narrative of the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression have incorporated a large quantity of historical materials into their writings,exhibiting an obvious"historical tendency".This tendency is not only a feasible way for writers to enter into history,but also a symbol of the absorption and integration of diverse cultures by new immigrant writers in the context of cross-cultural writing.It not only creates true historical narrative quality and unique creative styles,but also embodies the narrative voice and value position of the new immigrant writers.Moreover,the use of these historical materials and the meaning generation of the narrative of the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression in the new immigrant literature also have inherent consistency.It prompts the narrative of new immigrant literature to pay more attention to the dimension of individuals’life sufferings and human tortures.As a result,the narrative rises above the single national discourse position of the narrative of the War of Resistance of against Japanese Aggression,demonstrating valuable creativity and providing considerable enlightenment for overseas Chinese literary narration.
