经典的解构:从《西游记》到《西游补》、《大话西游》

Deconstructing the Classics: from A Journey to the West to Notes to A Journey to the West (xi you bu) and Big Talk on A Journey to the West (da hua xi you)

在《西游记》众多续作中 ,董说创作的《西游补》和周星驰主演的电视剧《大话西游》有着解构经典的独特意义。《西游补》和《大话西游》从情节安排、主题表达、语言使用等方面解构着《西游记》 ,《大话西游》的解构体现了当代社会的后现代主义思潮 ;《西游补》的解构则有历史与宗教的双重背景。《西游记》自身存在的解构性以及续作对原作继承和解构的二律背反规律 ,决定了《西游补》、《大话西游》选取《西游记》作为其解构的对象。

The novel Notes to A Journey to the West (xi you bu) by Dong Shuo and the teleplay Big Talk on A Journey to the West (da hua xi you) acted by the Hong Kong film star Zhou Xing-chi are both sequels of the Chinese classic A Journey to the West. These sequels have special values because they deconstruct their earlier work, the classic, especially its plot, theme and language. As is held in this paper, the deconstructive ideas in Big Talk on A Journey to the West are the production of the postmodernist thoughts in modern society, while those in Notes to A Journey to the West are the result of historical and religious reasons. The deconstructive ideas contained in A Journey to the West itself, and the antinomy of the original and its sequels decide that A Journey to the West is to be chosen as the object for deconstruction.
