肉身的超越——论陈彦《主角》的身体书写

The Transcendence of the Flesh—On the Body Writing in Chen Yan’s “Protagonist”

陈彦的小说重视中国古典文脉,频繁将戏曲、戏剧等民间艺术资源融入小说创作之中。身体存在于文本表达之中,存在于戏剧表演之中,更存在于人生舞台上,身体的呈现源于角色高超的控制力,戏剧舞台上的身体更是文化符号的载体,《主角》中的秦腔艺人忆秦娥通过重塑身体来谋生,以身体为载体传递情感与世界形成互动关系,最终超越肉身实现生命之自觉。

Chen Yan’s novels place great emphasis on the classical Chinese context and frequently incorporate folk art resources such as opera and drama into their creation. The body is a key element in these works, existing not only in textual expression but also in theatrical performance and the stage of life. The portrayal of the body is a testament to the characters’ exceptional control. On the theater stage, the body serves as a carrier of cultural symbols, as demonstrated by the Qin artist in “Protagonist”, who draws inspiration from Qin E and transforms her body to communicate emotions and establish an interactive relationship with the world. Through this process, the character ultimately transcends the physical body and gains a deeper understanding of the consciousness of life.
