空间诗学视角下的生命叙事——论房伟的《王小波传》

The Life Narrative Examined from the Perspective of Space Theory:The Case of Fang Wei’s A Biography of Wang Xiaobo

王小波是当代文坛最富才情与争议的重要作家,为其书写传记既是作家经典化的一种体现,也是深度理解和阐释其作品文学价值的一种重要路径。房伟的《王小波传》突破以往作家传记的书写模式,在现代性的意义上引人文学地理学研究视角,从王小波人生经历中抽取出'革命北京'和'后革命北京'两个文化空间,在'家园式'自我体认与'他者化'异域空间的裂隙与张力中,还原传主的生活真实、精神困境及其对文学创作的影响。同时,房伟还在期刊、纸媒与网络等后现代性的文化空间中,考察了媒体对王小波神话的话语生产,揭示出王小波文学的经典化品质与当下性价值,在穿透性和超越性的生命叙事意义上,完成'文学家'王小波的形象重构。

Wang Xiaobo is one of the most talented and controversial writers in China.The literary biography of this writer is an important approach for literary study,which may enhance the deep understanding and interpretation of the literary value of his works.Fang Wei’s A Biography of Wang Xiaobo breaks through the conventional writing mode of literary biography and puts Wang’s life story into the sphere of literary geography in the sense of modernity.The extraction of such two cultural spaces of'Revolutionary Beijing'and 'Post-Revolutionary Beijing'is designed to restore the life truth,spiritual plight and its influence on Wang Xiaobo’s writing in the rift and tension between the'home- like 'self-recognition and the'othering'exotic space.Meanwhile,Fang examines how,in the postmodern cultural space of magazies,print media and internet,the discourse in mythifying Wang Xiaobo was produced,revealing the current value and the classic quality of Wang’s oeuvre.Fang reconstructs the image of Wang Xiaobo,'the man of letters',in the sense of his penetrating and transcendental life narrative.
