摘要
徐訏(1908-1980)创作于四十年代的"现代志怪故事"在目前的学术界一般在"浪漫主义"或"现代主义"的批评框架中被读解。本文采取新的解释视角,从历史阐释学的角度对小说进行叙事分析。通过分解他的作品的两大母题:流产的浪漫史和虚幻的世界主义;充满阴影和张力的"普遍人性",本文提出他的"现代志怪故事"是一种现代中国自由主义知识分子寓言性质的"现代文人小说",一种"观念寓言",意在表达作者在特定历史时刻,在似乎绝望的社会历史状态下的文化幻想和焦虑。
Xu Xu's(1908-1980)"modern tales of the strange",produced in 1940s China,is often read by critics in the framework of "romanticism" or "modernism".This paper takes a new perspective in interpreting his stories with a practice of political hermeneutics.Through analyzing the two major themes together with their fissures in the fiction: aborted romance and illusionary cosmopolitanism,shadow and tension in a "universal humanity".This study contends that his "modern tales of the strange" is a genre of "modern literati fiction" aimed to express the writer's cultural reveries and anxieties in a seemingly hopeless social-historical reality.It shows the predicament the liberalist intellectuals faced in the society at the time when there was no material conditions to realize their bourgeois ideal of cosmopolitanism and universal love.
