从乡土文明的逻辑出发论莫言小说的贞节观——《丰乳肥臀》解读

On the Chasteness Views in Mo Yan's Novels in Light of Local Civilization:An Interpretation of Big Breasts and Wide Hips

高密东北乡是莫言文学想象的落脚点,它自成体系,莫言通过创作大量文学作品赋予它超越现实的灵性和力量,它承载了莫言对乡土文明的全部情感,无论是热爱还是恼恨,是排拒还是眷恋。《丰乳肥臀》这个以母亲上官鲁氏为中心展开的家族故事是高密东北乡所有故事里最有份量的一个,它最能有代表性地阐释高密东北乡的乡土文明。在这里,当"饿死事小,失节事大"的贞节观与生存本能、生育需求、爱情需求、性欲望狭路相逢,贞节观念便丧失了通常所具有的影响力。在莫言的小说中,高密东北乡的贞节观有着更为人性、更加现实的逻辑。
