论《我是农民》中独特的身份认同与生命叙述

Explicating the Self:Life Narrative in Jia Pingwa’s I Was a Farmer

贾平凹的长篇自传《我是农民》通过对自己19年农村生活经历的回顾叙述,不仅呈现了农民特有的生存状态和思维模式,体现出作者对公平、尊严、正义等社会理念的坚持,而且表现了作者在对自我的探寻和认知中所选择的独特立场,即,自我是由社会与后天所造的结合,自我所占据的主体地位最终决定了自我的形成,寄托了作者对社会和人生的理解。

I Was a Farmer,Jia Pingwa’ lengthy autobiography,narrates retrospectively his 19-year experience of rural life.It not only presents the unique living conditions and thinking patterns of farmers,reflecting the author’s insistence on such social concepts as fairness,dignity and justice,but also defines his unique position assumed in the quest for self and cognition.That is,the self,both social and acquired,is shaped and determined by the status of the subjectivity.This embodies the author’s understanding of the society and human life.
