民族文化与身份认同——以夏多布里昂、福克纳、沈从文、莫言的地域书写为视角

National Culture and Identity——From Chateaubriand,Faulkner,Shen Congwen and Mo Yan’s Region-based Perspective

从法国作家夏多布里昂到沈从文,有一条以地域写作为主要特色的文学脉络。夏多布里昂以美洲风情写作为特色而成为法国浪漫主义文学奠基者。福克纳所营造的约克纳帕塔法县,把地域写作提升到精细化、典型化的高度。沈从文的湘西风情,在地域写作的中国化方面,更是推陈出新。这些作家都大量地描写了社会风俗人情和爱情悲剧。莫言把地域写作推到了新高度,融进了后现代派的风格。

From the French writer Chateaubriand to Shen Congwen,there is a literary vein with regional writing as its main feature.Chateaubriand wrote with American style and became the founder of French romantic literature.The York Napa Tafa County created by Faulkner elevates regional writing to the level of refinement and typicality.Shen Congwen’s Xiangxi style is more innovative in the localization of regional writing.These writers wrote a lot about social customs and love tragedy.Mo Yan has pushed regional writing to a new level and integrated it into the post-modern style.
