骆以军近作《匡超人》故事新编研究

A New Novel Kuang Superman by Luo Yijun

台湾作家骆以军长篇小说《匡超人》借鉴《西游记》《儒林外史》等中国古典章回小说的叙事要素,以故事新编的方式,重新塑造了匡超人与美猴王形象,广角式呈现当前台湾社会现实。在匡超人形象的塑造上,作者借疾病隐喻、傀儡式话语,以及缀断式叙事,既承袭了吴敬梓对儒林的尖锐批判,又延续了中国现代文学之“立人”的经典命题,描摹出当代台北新儒林知识分子的复杂形象;在美猴王形象的塑造上,作者以美猴王在台湾的遭遇,暗喻了当代台湾社会的双面“西游”,即西化(西方)与西岸(大陆)。该作以互文性文本资源的杂糅,移形换位等叙事方法,利用人称的多义指代、碎片化的“梦笔记”空间结构、反体裁写作建构起迷宫式文本,完成了当代台北新儒林的叙事创新。

Drawing on the narrative elements of Chinese classical chapter novels such as Journey to the West and The History of Confucius,the novel Kuang Superman by the important Taiwan Residents writer Luo Yijun reshapes the images of Kuang Superman and the Monkey King in a new story,presenting the current social reality of Taiwan in a wide angle manner.In the portrayal of Kuang Superman,the writer uses the metaphor of disease,puppet-like discourse and a fractured narrative,inheriting Wu Jingzi's sharp criticism of Confucianism while continuing the classic proposition of “establishing people”in modern Chinese literature,to portray the complex image of Neo-Confucian intellectuals in modern Taipei.While in the creation of the image of the Monkey King,the writer uses the encounter of the Monkey King in Taiwan as a metaphor for the double-sided“Western journey”of contemporary Taiwan society,namely the reality of Westernization(the West)and West Coast(the Mainland).With the narrative methods of inter-textual textual resources,shifting and transposing,the writer fulfills the narrative innovation of contemporary Taipei Neo-Confucianism and the double-sided“Western journey”by using multiple meanings of personification,fragmented spatial structure of“dream notes”,and anti-genre writing.
