聆听天籁 感悟童心——迟子建小说的儿童叙事视角

Listen to Sound of Nature and Feel Childlike Innocence——On the Child Narrative Angle in Chi Zijian's Novels

儿童视角是一种叙事策略,一种独特的话语表述方式。儿童叙事视角的运用是迟子建小说叙述的一大特色。从角色上它可以分为角色和非角色叙事两大类,从叙述人角度又可以分为纯儿童视角与准儿童视角。在这些别具一格的儿童叙事中,自然富有了灵性,人际更为简单而纯朴。儿童叙事视角的运用营造了一个烂漫的童话般的世界,而叙述视角的动态性、话语蕴藉的多维性则使小说文本更具张力,并在一定程度上呈现出了“复调”的美学意味。它刷新了读者的审美视野,让人感受到了作者对一方乡民的温情关怀。

Child angle of view is a unique discourse expression as well as a narrative strategy. Narration from a child's angle is an important feature of Chi Zijian's novels. In terms of role, narration falls into two types: role narration and non-role narration while in terms of narrator, it can also be classified into two types: pure child narration and quasi-child narration. In such unique child narrations, nature seems alive, and human relationships are much simpler and purer. The use of child narrative angle creates an innocent world like a fairyland while the dynamic narrative angle and multifold discourse meaning make the novels be of more strains, and in a sense, give out a 'polyphonic' aesthetic meaning. It renews the reader's aesthetic view and makes him feel the author's feeling towards the ordinary people.
