在传统的延长线上——阿舍《阿娜河畔》的叙事策略

On Traditional Extension Lines: Ashe's NarrativeStrategies of Ana Riverside

维吾尔族著名作家阿舍于2023年推出了长篇新作《阿娜河畔》,这部作品由北京十月文艺出版社出版,以其独有的叙事手法和细腻的情感表达,彰显了阿舍小说自身的鲜明风格。小说讲述了在新疆茂盛农场的建设中,以明中启一家为代表的建设者们在这片土地上的生活历程。通过细腻的笔触,阿舍不仅描绘了边疆建设的壮丽画卷,更深入呈现了自觉参与边疆建设的人们在艰苦环境下坚守信念、自强不息的精神风貌。在叙事上,《阿娜河畔》展现出一种在传统的延长线上进行叙事创新的努力。具体而言,《阿娜河畔》主要采用传统的线性叙事,聚焦于两代人的故事,但在代际更替的叙述模式中,它淡化了传统叙事的“进步性”,代之以人物自身的性格和命运的各自凸显,从而构成一种“平等”的代际更替叙事。此外,《阿娜河畔》还通过弱化矛盾冲突、精心塑造人物形象以及选择特定地域背景等方式,实现了内容与形式的和谐统一。作品中的人物命运与情感都与读者产生了强烈的共鸣,同时,通过对新疆这一特定地域的描绘,更凸显了人与自然、人与社会之间的和谐关系,小说不仅是对边疆生活的深刻呈现,也是对传统审美中“致中和”理念的完美诠释。

The renowned Uyghur author Ashe released her latest novel"By the Ana River"in 2023,published by Beijing October Literature and Art Publishing House.This work,with its unique narrative techniques and delicate emotional expressions,showcases the distinctive style of Ashe's fiction.The novel tells the story of the lives,represented by the Ming Zhongqi family,during the construction of the prosperous Maosheng Farm in Xinjiang.Through meticulous brushstrokes,Ashe not only depicts the magnificent scenery of borderland construction,but also delves into the spirit of those who voluntarily participate in it,displaying their firmly belief and unremitting self-improvement amidst difficult ci rcumstances.In terms of narrative,"By the Ana River"exhibits an effort to innovate within the extension of traditional forms.Specifically,the novel primarily adopts a traditional linear narrative,focusing on the stories of two generations.However,within the narrative pattern of intergenerational succession,it softens the"progressiveness"often found in traditional narratives,instead emphasizing the distinct characters and destinies of individuals,thus creating an"equal"narrative of intergenerational change.Furthermore,"By the Ana River"achieves harmony between content and form through techniques such as weakening conflict,carefully shaping characters,and selecting a specific regional setting.The fates and emotions of the characters resonate deeply with readers,and through the portrayal of the unique setting of Xinjiang,the novel further highlights the harmonious relationship between human and nature,as well as human and society.This makes the novel not only a profound portrayal of borderland life,but also a perfect interpretation of the traditional aesthetic ideal of"achieving harmony."
