迟子建《炖马靴》的叙事艺术

The Narrative Art of Chi Zijian’s Stewed Horse Boots

《炖马靴》是迟子建的最新短篇力作,讲述了作为东北抗联战士的父亲在一次雪夜的袭击中被一个日本兵穷追不舍并与之翰旋、战斗的过程,以及途中与独眼狼互救的故事。本文运用叙事学理论,从叙述者、叙事空间、叙事意象、叙事伦理四个方面解读迟子建的《炖马靴》,表明《炖马靴》不仅在主题思想上意义深邃,而且在叙事策略上也体现出高超的叙事艺术,揭示了万物有灵且平等,都需善待生命的真意。

Horse Stewed Boots is Chi Zijian’s latest short work,which tells the story of his father,a soldier of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Union,being chased by a Japanese soldier in a snow night attack fighting with him,the course of the battle and the rescue of the one-eyed wolf on the way.Using the theory of narratology,this paper interprets Chi Zijian’s Stewed Horse Boots from four aspects:narrator,narrative space,narrative images and narrative ethics,which shows that Stewed Horse Boots not only has profound meaning in theme thought,but also embodies superb narrative art in narrative strategy.
