摘要
《混乱岁月》描写了主人公奥费伊在非洲乌托邦、域外、本土不同区域、神话原型空间等多个空间的漫游。奥费伊的漫游具有丰富的政治和文化隐喻。小说前半部分的漫游政治寓意突出,既有对马克思主义倾向的乌托邦社会的构建,也有对非洲新殖民主义和独裁政权暴力的揭露,还有对比夫拉内战前后陷入政治混乱的尼日利亚的现实指涉。小说后半部分的漫游则更多转向了文化隐喻。奥费伊营救爱人的漫游与俄尔普斯和奥贡神话的对应关系,不仅象征着对被束缚的艺术创造力和社会希望的拯救,而且更深层地展现了存在于民族文化意识深处的再生循环观念和与之相伴随的重建社会秩序的期许。奥费伊也因此经历了由马克思主义政治理想的实践者向个人主义悲剧英雄的转变。
Soyinka described the hero,Ofeyi's several trips in hyperspace such as African Utopia,extraterritorial world,different internal regions and mythological prototype world in Season of Anomy.Ofeyi's wanderings had abundant political and cultural metaphor connotations.Soyinka emphasized wandering's political moral in the first half of the novel.There were not only the construction of utopian social with Marxist tendencies,but also the exposure of neo-colonialism in Africa and the violence of African dictatorships,and even more realistic references to Nigeria,which fell into political chaos before and after the civil war in Biafra.While the wanderings in the second half of the novel turned to cultural metaphors mainly.The Correspondence between Ofeyi's roaming to rescue his lover and Orpheus and Ogun's mythological patterns not only symbolized the salvation of the shackled artistic creativity and social hope,but also deeply demonstrated the concept of regeneration cycle that existed in the depths of national cultural consciousness and the expectation of rebuilding the social order.So Ofeyi experienced the transformation from a practitioner with Marxist political ideals to a tragic hero with individualistic characteristics.
