现代性解码:阿来《机村史诗》“树”意象研究

Decoding Modernity:An Analysis on the Image of “Tree” in A Lai's JiCun Village Epic

《机村史诗》是阿来一部反映藏族村庄生活的当代编年史。从小说中"树"的意象切入,系统阐释阿来小说中"树"的象征意义。围绕着"树"和森林的消失与重建的过程,阿来揭示出机村在现代化转型中被迫付出的生态代价和族群伤痛,诉说了现代思想入侵给机村所带来的文化冲突;分析了传统藏族文化遭遇到信仰崩塌与强行断裂所带来的焦虑,但随着"树"(森林)的修复也传递出阿来对文化发展所持有的希冀。这部作品不仅在反思乡村历史变迁的多元性和阐释文化冲突的普遍性角度具有重要价值,而且为民族写作提供新的可能性。

Ji Cun Village Epic is a contemporary chronicle that reflects the life of Tibetan villages.Taking the image of 'tree' in the novel as the starting point, the paper systematically interprets the symbolic meaning of 'tree' in A Lai’s novels. Around the process of the disappearance and reconstruction of the'tree' and forest, A Lai reveals the ecological cost and ethnic pain that the village was forced to pay in the modernization transformation;it tells the cultural conflict brought by the modern thought invasion to the village;it tells the traditional Tibetan culture to encounter the collapse of the faith and the anxiety caused by the forced break. But with the restoration of the 'tree'(forest),it also conveys the hope that A Lai holds for cultural development. This work not only has important value in rethinking the diversity of rural historical changes and interpreting the universality of cultural conflicts, but also provides new possibilities for national writing.
