史诗《江格尔》的别样演绎——刘亮程《本巴》解读

A Different Narration of the Epic Jangar——The Interpreting of Liu Liangcheng’s Benba

史诗《江格尔》以说唱叙事诗的形式塑造了众多骁勇善战、足智多谋的英雄,抒写了爱憎分明的民族情感。刘亮程的小说《本巴》由史诗故事开始,却做出全新的演绎:在无始无终的内循环密闭时空中颠覆了史诗中的理想家园;在说唱与讲述的语言世界中消弥了现实世界的真实性;在梦与真的变幻中表达具有普遍意义的“归乡”之惑。作者有意打破时空的常规秩序来制造叙事迷宫,将关于理想与现实、故乡与童年、经验与超验的种种复杂的形而上思考交织到简洁之极的旷世游戏之中。

The epic Jangar shaped many brave and resourceful heroes in the form of rap narrative poems,and expressed the national emotions of love and hate.Liu Liangcheng’s novel Benba begins with the epic story,but makes a new interpretation:subverting the ideal home in the epic in a closed space-time of endless inner cycle;clearing up the truth of the real world by rap and account;expressing the confusion about homecoming between dreams and reality.The author has a mind to creating a narrative labyrinth by breaking up the conventional order of time and space.He intertwines the metaphysical thinking of ideal and reality,homeland and childhood,experience and transcendence with supreme games.
