“灯下漫笔”:《呐喊》《彷徨》中的“灯”意象研究

Writing under the Lamp:A Research on the Image of Lamp in Call to Arms and Wandering

作为中国现代文学史上的不朽名著,鲁迅的短篇小说集《呐喊》《彷徨》始终是学界关注的焦点所在,然而在《呐喊》《彷徨》中实际上存在着一个为学界所忽视的特异现象:两本小说集所收录的25篇小说中,有13篇反复出现了“灯”的意象,体现出了独特的写作寓意与文化内涵,使得“苦难之灯”“守旧之灯”“家庭之灯”成为鲁迅小说微隐而深刻的文本符号。而“灯”意象在鲁迅文本中所代表着的“沉思者”姿态与现代性的隐喻,更使得对“灯”意象的研究具备较高的学术价值。

As two immortal masterpieces in the history of modern Chinese literature, Lu Xun’s short stories collections Call to Arms and Wandering have always been the focus of academic attention. It is a neglected phenomenon that the image of lamp appears in 13 of the 25 fictions in Call to Arms and Wandering, which reflects unique writing meaning and cultural connotation. In these fictions, the image of lamp is associated with misery, feudal dogma and family, forming a profound textual symbol. What’s more, the image of "lamp" in Lu Xun’s text represents the "contemplative" attitude and the metaphor of modernity, which makes the research on the image of "lamp" have higher academic value.
