摘要
作为“抒情”理论应用于中国现当代文学研究的集大成之作,王德威的近著《史诗时代的抒情声音》对抒情谱系的爬梳颇见匠心和功力。相比于经典抒情论述,王氏虽强调抒情的古典渊源,但主要还是受普实克的影响。然而他并不认同普氏对“史诗”的看重,实际上,其转向抒情的原因即在于不满启蒙、革命话语的单一化范式,而希图以“抒情”为参数,将二元论述三角化,关注三者间的联动关系。在这个过程中,王氏将抒情与史诗的互动窄化地置换为抒情与革命的博弈,有意无意地模糊抒情与启蒙以及启蒙与革命的异同。这就隐隐透露出王德威抒情论中的诗学政治,他在很大程度上把“史诗时代的抒情声音”直接理解成了“诗史”,这也正解决了抒情如何介入的问题,而他的思考便是对于“诗史”的现代意义的重新发明,即“朝向史诗时代的批判抒情主义”。不过,王氏的抒情现代性,在很大程度上是建立在对所谓单一化史诗模式的批判之上的,其论调似又陷入了某种多元论的话语霸权。
As a masterpiece that applies the theory on“lyricism”to the study of modern and contemporary Chinese literature,David Der-wei Wang's The Lyrical in Epic Time has shown his ingenuity and skill in sorting out the genealogy of lyricism.Compared with classical interpretations of this term,Wang emphasizes the classical origin of lyricism,but he is primarily influenced by Jaroslav Prusek.However,he does not concur with Prusek's emphasis on“epic”.In fact,the reason for Wang's turn to lyricism lies in his dissatisfaction with the monolithic paradigm of“enlightenment”and“revolution”.Instead,he tries to pluralize the dualistic discourse with lyricism as a parameter,paying attention to the interaction between the three.In this process,Wang narrowly replaces the interaction between lyricism and epic with a game between lyricism and revolution,blurring the similarities and differences between lyricism/enlightenment and enlightenment/revolution.This implicitly reveals the poetic politics of Wang's thought on lyricism.To a great extent,he directly equates“the lyrical in epic time”with shishi(poetry as history),which provides a path for lyricism to engage with reality.His thinking reinvents the modern meaning of shishi,which now means“critical lyricism towards epic time”.Yet,while Wang's“lyric modernity”is largely based on his criticism of the so-called monolithic“epic paradigm”,his argument seems to run into the hegemony of pluralism.
