碎片之下的硬核——《玻璃山》后现代知识分子形象的解读

作为一部典型的后现代作品,巴塞尔姆的小说《玻璃山》以其荒诞破碎的形式做出一个拒绝阐释的姿态.但本文认为小说中无名的“我”登爬玻璃山寻找“美丽的着了魔的象征”的形象和过程,正是该作品阐释空间的核心所在.作品极简的叙事形式和语言虽然对应了一个人文精神日渐式微,真理崇高被不断消解的迷混时代,但在其碎片化的背后仍坚守着后现代知识分子对理想的执着,凸显了西方知识分子传统的独立精神和对真理永不放弃的追问.

The Solid Core Beneath Fragments: Images of Postmodern Intellectuals in The Glass Mountain

As a typical postmodern works, The Glass Mountain written by Donald Barthelme, which consists of a hundred sentences of graded lengths, presents a posture of refusing interpretation with its fantastic and fragmentary form. However, the paper considered that the image of "I" in the novel and the process of "I" climbed the glass mountain to seek the beautiful symbol are the core of the works. The simple narrative form and language of the works were corresponding to the confused era that humanity spirit was weakening and truth was being dispelled, but there was the single-minded pursuit of dreams of postmodern intellectuals beneath the fragments, which highlighted the traditional independent spirit and the pursuit for truth of western intellectuals.
