实验写作与传统经典的“碰撞” ——《敦亚佐德》的元小说叙事艺术

约翰巴斯的小说《敦亚佐德》聚焦于小说作为人造品的地位,是典型的后现代主义元小说。元小说是指涉小说自身的小说,关注故事的虚构过程。在元小说中,揭露叙事艺术优先于叙述本身。《敦亚佐德》运用多种后现代主义元小说叙事技巧,重新演绎传统经典《一千零一夜》,主要体现在露迹、戏仿和反向框架,是实验写作与传统经典的“碰撞”。解读小说中的叙事技巧,能够揭示巴斯的后现代创作观,寻找一种可与现实世界紧密相联的小说形式,体现后现代作家普遍倡导的一种自省意识。

Collision between Postmodernist Writing and Classics

Dunyazade by John Barth,a typical metafiction,draws attention to the status of the artificial fiction.Metafiction is the fiction that refers to the fiction itself,cares the process of story writing.Exploring the art of narration is superior to narration itself in a metafiction.A variety of narrative techniques of metafiction such as exposure,parody,and regressive frames are employed in Dunyazade to rewrite the classics Arabian Nights,which is the collision between postmodernist writing and classics.The interpretation of the narrative techniques of the novel can not only reveal the Barth''s concept of postmodernist writing,look for a form of novel that strengthens the relationship between the fiction and the reality,but also embody the consciousness of introspection advocated by postmodernist writers.
