李永平小说婆罗洲叙事中的鬼魅书写

Ghostly Writing in Li Yongping’s Borneo Narrative

李永平是华文文学版图中不可忽视的存在,婆罗洲雨林内的群鬼与人鬼共存的魔幻空间是作家婆罗洲叙事的最大特色之一。李永平的鬼魅书写在范围上是对鬼、亦即死者灵魂再现之物的直接描写。作家利用婆罗洲本土传说招引出雨林内的各色鬼魂,赋予群鬼具体鲜明的形象,确立了个人鬼魅书写奇幻、诡谲的风格。李永平的鬼魅书写还体现了其独特的空间美学。作家将婆罗洲雨林形塑为一个人鬼共处的“鬼域”,调动民俗资源开启鬼魅书写,运用桃花源神话与生死的象征交换来实践对婆罗洲母亲的文学救赎。

Li Yongping has always been a significant presence in the world of Chinese literature.The magical space where ghosts and people coexist in the rainforest of Borneo is one of the greatest features of his Borneo narrative.The object of Li’s ghostly writing are ghosts,that is,the reappearance of the spirits of the dead.Li gradually used local Borneo legends to attract the various types of ghosts in the Borneo rainforest,giving the ghosts specific and distinctive images,and establishing a mysterious and fantastical style of ghostly writing.In addition,Li’s ghostly writing embodies his unique spatial aesthetics.Li constructs the Borneo rainforest as a“Ghostly Realm”,where people and ghosts coexist,utilizing the resources of folklore to conduct personal ghostly writing,using the myth of the Peach-Blossom Source and the symbolic exchange of life and death in this magical,and strange supernatural space to practice literary redemption for Mother Borneo.
