绝望与反抗——论陈染《另一只耳朵的敲击声》

Desperation and Resistance:On CHEN Ran’s The Tapping Sound of the Other Ear

陈染的中篇小说《另一只耳朵的敲击声》中,黛二的女性私语将男性置于被言说的位置,完成了对于男性权威的嘲讽,她以逃离的方式反抗母亲的变态控制欲,却也放弃了从同性那里获得救赎的可能。逃离成为黛二的最终选择,但孤独和绝望并不意味着黛二是消极、虚无的,她反而是一个积极虚无主义者,反抗着外界对个人精神的侵蚀和异化,包括最终在孤独中正视自己内心的冲突、调整自身的状态,为的也是避免与外界一同走向破碎。所以从黛二情感寄托对象的不断转移这一过程中,读者可以梳理出黛二亦或是陈染本人在绝望中反抗的历史。
