【摘要】：生存主题是文学作品展现的一个普遍主题。自20世纪80年代中后期开始,中国文坛涌现出对人的生存关注的思潮。严歌苓敏锐地感知到文学思潮的变动革新,以生存为视角进行大量的文学创作,表达出对底层人物、边缘人物的关怀。这种文学情怀的形成与严歌苓本人独特的经历息息相关。她亲历文革对人的残害,参军后目睹无数的生死,移居海外后心态所发生的转变,两次婚姻所带来的深刻感悟,这些都让她对生存、对人性有着非同一般的理解。在小说中,她塑造了形形色色的不同人物,刻画了不同的生存环境,这其中有物质生活的窘迫,也有精神世界的迷惘。而通过对小说人物对物质和精神方面执着不懈追求的描写,严歌苓将生存这个抽象而又泛化的概念具象而又深刻地阐释出来。在她的文学世界中,生存并不仅仅是活着,它更是演绎复杂人性的舞台。严歌苓将对人性的理解与沉思寄寓在生存这个载体之上,通过朴实的、不乏温情的笔触,缓缓地倾诉给她的每一个读者。本文遵循着以生存写人性的叙事逻辑,分析严歌苓小说中的生存主题,从而引出对严歌苓本人温情的生存观和人性观的探寻研究。第一章节介绍严歌苓本人的人生经历,并将其创作摆在新时期小说对生存主题重视的大背景之下,将作家与整个时代、将创作与整个文学大背景有机贯通起来。此外,该章节以物质和精神为视角,对严歌苓小说作品中生存主题的描写进行分类梳理,借以具象直观地感受严歌苓本人温情的生存观。第二章节则探寻潜藏在严歌苓小说生存主题背后的创作动机。从“异域生活”到“中国历史”的跨越反映的不仅仅是作家本人经历的变化,思想的转变,更从文学的角度证明了国家力量的强大,而这给予严歌苓充分的自信,让她将视角又投回祖国大陆,由此孕育出一种崭新的创作风格。众所皆知,在她的作品中有很大一部分的题材与“文革”息息相关,而这与她来自童年的创伤性回忆密不可分。第三章就生存主题的意义来进行阐述。文学是反映文化的一面镜子,它具有文化层面上的价值和意义,严歌苓作为一个出色的海外华文作家,她的文学创作更能折射出中西方文化交融的现象。此外,“极致环境”的设计是严歌苓小说创作的一个特点,因为在“极致环境”下人性能够得到最为彻底的发挥,因此这也成为她用来揭示复杂人性的一条捷径。同时该章节还将严歌苓与相关当代作家的文学创作进行对比,以期能更为感性直观地领悟她本人生存观的特点与内涵。
[Abstract]:The theme of existence is a universal theme in literary works. Since the mid-1980 s, Chinese literary circles have paid more attention to the existence of human beings. Yan Geling was acutely aware of the change and innovation of literary thoughts and made a great deal of literary creation from the perspective of existence to express her concern for the bottom and marginal characters. The formation of this kind of literary feelings is closely related to Yan Geling's own unique experience. She experienced the mutilation of people during the Cultural Revolution, witnessed countless life and death after joining the army, the change of mentality after emigration, and the profound feelings brought about by two marriages, all of which made her have an extraordinary understanding of survival and human nature. In the novel, she shapes different characters and depicts different living environment, which includes the distress of material life and the confusion of spiritual world. By describing the characters' persistent pursuit of matter and spirit, Yan Geling concretely and profoundly interprets the abstract and general concept of existence. In her literary world, survival is not just living, it is the stage of complex human nature. Yan Geling's understanding and contemplation of human nature are based on the carrier of existence, and through simple and tender strokes, Yan Geling slowly confides to her readers. This paper follows the narrative logic of writing human nature with existence, analyzes the theme of existence in Yan Geling's novels, and leads to the exploration and study of Yan Geling's own warm view of existence and view of human nature. The first chapter introduces Yan Geling's own life experience, and puts his creation under the background that the novel of the new period attaches importance to the survival theme, and organically connects the writer and the whole era, and the creation with the whole literary background. In addition, from the perspective of material and spirit, this chapter classifies the description of survival themes in Yan Geling's novels in order to visualize and intuitively feel Yan Geling's warm outlook on life. The second chapter explores the motive behind the existence theme of Yan Geling's novels. The leapfrogging from "exotic life" to "Chinese history" reflects not only the changes experienced by the writers themselves, but also the changes in their thinking, and they also prove the strength of the country from a literary point of view, which gives Yan Geling full confidence. Let her angle of view back to the mainland, which gave birth to a brand-new creative style. It is well known that a large part of her works is closely related to the Cultural Revolution, which is inextricably related to her traumatic memories from childhood. The third chapter expounds the significance of the theme of survival. Literature is a mirror reflecting culture, which has the value and significance of culture. As an outstanding overseas Chinese writer, Yan Geling's literary creation can reflect the phenomenon of the blending of Chinese and western cultures. In addition, the design of "extreme environment" is a characteristic of Yan Geling's novel creation, because under the "extreme environment" the humanity can get the most thorough display, therefore, this also becomes a shortcut which she uses to reveal the complex humanity. At the same time, the chapter compares Yan Geling's literary works with those of other contemporary writers in order to understand the characteristics and connotation of her own view of existence more perceptually and intuitively.
