北爱尔兰诗人德里克·马洪读画诗中的隐微书写与审美共同体建构

Esoteric Writing and Construction of Aesthetic Community in Derek Mahon's Ekphrastic Poems

北爱尔兰诗人德里克·马洪的读画诗既是一种跨媒介写作的创作选择,也是一种隐微的诗学策略,关乎到对艺术自律性、社会功能等诸多问题的思考。这种“疏离”的手法根植于上世纪六十年代以来北爱尔兰的社会危机,涉及到对共有的视觉文化资源的重新开掘与参差挪用,由此“当下”与“历史”、“此处”与“彼处”之间互搏与互嵌,以艺术的“有意义的形式”回应了社会的失序。它所达成的有共识的观看机制,构成了一种弥合社会分裂、孵育审美共同体的方式,同时也为理解读画诗的视觉性问题提供了另一思考路径。

The poetry of ekphrasis by Northern Irish poet, Derek Mahon, is both a creative choice of intermedial writing and an esoteric poetic strategy, which is tied with his thoughts on the autonomy and social function and other related issues as well. This device of “alienation”can be attributed to the social woes in Northern Ireland since the 1960s. It amounts to a reuse and diversified transplantation of shared visual resources, thus “now” and “history”,“here” and “there” are juxtaposed and interlocked as a “significant form” of art to counter the breaking down of social norms. The common mechanism of viewing it accomplished in the process provides a way of mending social fissures and incubating an aesthetic community,while cultivating one more thinking path for understanding the visuality of ekphrastic poetry.
