拆解与集成——汤亭亭《在西宫》的文本张力

Dismantling and integrating:The text tension of Maxine Kingston's“At the Western Palace”

汤亭亭的《在西宫》是一篇现实主义文学作品,其叙事结构具有多层性,文本内容具有丰富的现实指涉,表现出强大的文本张力。本文在亚里士多德“情节观”的基础上对小说叙事内容进行横纵两个方向的“拆解”,提取出整体的“纺锤形”结构;同时,论文依据“互文性”理论对“拆解”后的叙事要素进行文本内外的意义延展,并在多层结构中进行逆向“集成”实现文本内情节逻辑的建构和文本外现实意义的阐释。作品将大量能指力很强的语言符号“集成”进多层交织的叙事结构中,使小说在多重逻辑依据下呈现出丰厚的文化内涵和历史现实意义。

Maxine Kingston's“At the Western Palace”is a realistic literary work with a multi⁃layered narrative structure and rich realistic references,therefore.demonstrating strong textual tension.On the basis of Aristotle's“plot view”,this paper dismantle in detail the narrative content in both horizontal and vertical directions to extract the overall“spindle shaped”structure.Then,according to the“intertextuality”theory,the thesis successfully extends the meaning of the dis⁃mantled narrative information inside and outside the text,and reversely“integrates”them in the multi⁃level structure to achieve the construction of plot logic within the text and the interpretation of realistic significance outside the text.This work integrates a large number of highly expressive language symbols into a multi⁃layer intertwined narrative structure,thus pres⁃enting the novel with rich cultural heritage and historical and practical significance under multi⁃ple logical foundations.
