“金枝”的期许与家族的“再历史化”——论邵丽长篇小说《金枝》

Expectation of “Jinzhi”and the rehistoricization of the family

邵丽的长篇小说《金枝》通过周氏家族的历史展现了作者的“期许”与“恐惧”,以及她对父权、革命、人性等问题的思考。在以家庭伦理为切入点将家族“再历史化”的过程中,作家对历史的反思似乎落入了窠臼。将人剥离出历史、反复书写个人经验并进行故事的重述,对于“再历史化”所可能带来的后果,除意义的消解外,还有理性的隐退。对于一个从开始便以现实关怀为旨向的作家而言,重要的是在“再历史化”的书写中保持理性批判的姿态,并在此基础上将当下融入历史。

The novel Born in the Purple reveals SHAO Li’s expectation and fear through the history of Zhou family,as well as her thoughts on paternity,revolution,humanity and other issues.It seems that SHAO Li’s reflection on history just fall into a rut when she rehistoricized the family through ethics.The emphasis on individual,the repetition of writing personal experience and the retelling of stories will not only lead to the dissolution of meaning,but also to the retreat of rationality.For a writer who aim on reality from the very beginning,it is important to keep the attitude in the writing of“re-historicization”and then integrate the present into history.
