《小径分岔的花园》:阅读“中国”的一种方式

The Garden of Forking Paths:A Way to Read“China”

博尔赫斯出于对中国文化的热爱,作品中多涉及对中国形象的描写,其中《小径分岔的花园》作为元小说,首先承认的即是自身的虚构性,其书写的中国形象更是一个幻景,值得深究的是作家本身融入的评论视角。拟从超越批评的视角出发,探究《小径分岔的花园》文本结构之外的中国形象及其文学意义,并讨论其提供的阅读“中国”的方式及其价值。

Out of the love for Chinese culture,Borges′s works mostly involve the description of the image of China.Among them,“The Garden of Forking Paths”,as a meta-fiction,first recognizes its own fictionality,and the image of China he writes is even more of an illusion.What is worth studying is the critical perspective of the writer himself.From the perspective of transcending criticism,this paper explores the image of China and its literary significance outside the textual structure of The Garden of Forking Paths,and discusses the way and value it provides to read“China”.
