神话与祛魅--神话诗学视域下的《告别马焦拉》和《淹没地带》比较研究

The Myth and the Disenchantment:A Comparative Study of Farewell to Matyora and Zone of the Flooding from the Perspective of Mythological Poetics

俄罗斯“新现实主义”作家先琴的《淹没地带》是一本向传统派作家拉斯普京致敬的书,是对其小说《告别马焦拉》的“改写”。前者拒绝了后者的神话诗学,走向了政论。前者从三个方面反驳后者:将“大西岛”神话转变为世界覆灭的“淹没地带”,将人、神、鬼共在的神话世界改造成人民受压制奴役欺骗的现实世界,将进步的神话蜕化为文明的谎言。消解了马焦拉的“神话”,《淹没地带》直击21世纪俄罗斯的生存绝境,引发对“新现实”的严肃思考。

Zone of the Flooding,written by Roman Senchin–a Russian“new realist”writer,is a tribute to Valentin Rasputin,who is a traditional writer and it's a“rewriting”of the novel Farewell to Matyora.However,the former rejects the mythological poetics that occurs in Farewell to Matyora and turns into political commentary.There are three rebuttals in Zone of the Flooding:transforming the myth of“Atlantis”into“zone of the flooding”where the world is destroyed,the mythical world of the coexistence of men,gods and ghosts into a real world where people are subjugated and deceived by the state and the“myth”of progress into a lie of civilization.Having deconstructed the“myth”of Farewell to Matyora,Zone of the Flooding reveals the desperate situation in Russia in the 21st century,leading to a serious reflection on the“new reality”.
