对话、平衡与超越
|
摘要
谢默斯·希尼(Seamus Heaney,1939——)被认为是20世纪继叶芝、乔伊斯之后最伟大的爱尔兰诗人之一。迄今为止,他一共出版过十二本主要诗集,四本评论集,十一部翻译诗集,多年来获奖无数。1995年,希尼荣获诺贝尔文学奖,获奖原因是“具有抒情诗般的美和伦理深度,使日常生活中的奇迹和活生生的往事得以升华”。
本论文旨在将希尼置于后现代文化语境中进行全面研究,包括希尼的生平和创作,希尼的诗学观和民族观。后现代语境的特点之一,在于多民族、无中心、零散化。电子传媒的迅速发展,加速了后现代文化成为大家共有共享、高度平面化的文化平台的进程。希尼在这种语境下的诗歌创作,与传统及当下的文学话语与非文学话语的互动产生的强大张力,使得希尼成为后现代语境下多元文化融合的代表。但同时,他也是极具独特色彩和个性的个体。
希尼的诗歌深刻体现了海德格尔“诗意的栖居”的哲学思想和深刻内涵,从事物表面洞察未知,体会生命、世界乃至宇宙本真。希尼的创作语境十分复杂,他尝试基于责任意识和社会制度伦理意识之上建立个人精神秩序,从而智慧地思考生命本真意义,追寻自由权利,并且通过诗歌创作来肯定他所期待的合理人性和文化形态,在面对现实的思索中显示出理想的人性关怀。在后现代语境下书写追求生命本真和自由权利的方式,也体现了人类社会在当下生存状态和意义。
希尼的书写方式中暗含着以对话为核心的深层模式。自始自终,对话都为了建立某种秩序而努力。这种秩序是基于责任意识而形成的个体内在精神秩序和社会制度伦理精神的统一架构,是实现个体自由权利的保障。而这一终极目的的承载方式,无不存在于希尼诗歌创作理念和思想主题中。
本论文将分为四章来考察希尼诗歌的审美与政治、多重文化与身份、个人意识与社会责任之间、个人与传统的对话与重建策略,以期获得“本真和自由”以及自我完整性的叙事策略,从而探讨希尼建立精神秩序和内在心理空间的实现方式和终极意义。
“导论”简述希尼研究的意义和国内外研究现状。提出本论文的研究方法,并阐明本论文的论点和框架。
第一章“与文学影响的对话：希尼与现代英国诗歌”：梳理希尼与现代英国诗歌、爱尔兰诗歌传统的关系和互动,并分析对希尼产生重大影响的诗歌传统,同时结合新科技和新技术的发展对生活方式及阅读经验带来的影响,解读希尼与社会各方面的互动,从而分析希尼在全球化与本土性之间的独特个性。
第二章“与现实的对话：希尼对现实语境的书写”：本章拟在后现代文化批评中的身份认同理论的观照下,结合北爱尔兰问题的渊源与现状,主要分析希尼《一个自然主义者的死亡》、《进入黑暗之门》、《在外过冬》、《北方》、《田间劳作》五部诗集以及四部主要的翻译作品,以此研究希尼与现实、历史、传统的对话模式以及对当下现实的思考,从而探讨希尼所追求的精神秩序与现实的深刻联系。
第三章“与自我的对话：多重身份的对置”：主要结合希尼四部评论集中体现的诗歌观和1995年之前诗歌创作的互动,探讨希尼民族身份、文化身份、诗人身份的对置,分析在不同阶段和语境下,希尼对自我的审思和对话模式的建立,都折射出希尼追求的精神秩序在后现代语境下的生成机制和意义。
第四章“重建与超越：自由与本真”：主要分析希尼荣获诺贝尔文学奖之后的诗集《酒精水准仪》、《电灯》、《区线与环线》、《人链》。四部诗集体现了诗人不断审思自我后,在诗歌艺术与身份思考后达到更高的境界。他尝试在不否定差异但保持共生的文化、传统、信仰之间找到对话的平台,用理性和智慧的高度创造一种超越历史的平衡,完整的“自我”在诗多维度的融通中达到相对的“自由”。
本论文通过在后现代语境对这样一个身份多重、成绩卓著的诗人进行整体研究,来解读并考察希尼与当下的各种关系和意义,反观这些人类社会矛盾众生现象并保持我们的问题意识,从而提出具有某些借鉴意义的思维方式。希尼诗歌也正是在对话与重建、纠正与平衡、完善与超越过程中,努力通向自由与本真的终极境界,这在某种层面上反映了我们时代的经验,以及如何解决现代人精神困惑的方法论提示。
Seamus Heaney is considered as one of the greatest Irish poets after William Butler Yeats and James Joyce in the20th century. His main publications, up till now, amount to12poetry collections,4critical essays collections, and11translations. He has been awarded many world-level prizes, the biggest of which undoubtedly is the Noble Literature Prize in1995."For works of lyrical beauty and ethical depth, which exalt everyday miracles and the living past" commented by Royal Swedish Academy is also the incisive reason for his winning.
This dissertation aims to study Heaney as a whole, involving his life, poetry, translation as well as his poetics, philosophy and his nationality identity. Multination, decenter and fragmentation are some factors to featurize the postmodernist context. Due to the rapid development of electronic media, postmodernist culture becomes accordingly the platform owned and shared by the public with highly complanation. From the perspective of time and space, Heaney's interaction with reality, history, tradition and with the society and the whole world, account for much the wholeness of Seamus Heaney as a phenomenon and latitude. And just because of this, he is also identified as a universal individual.
The thematic significance of Heaney's poetry with highly philosophical latitude, though focused on daily issues, exemplifies Heidegger's concept of "poetic dwelling". On this extraordinary art of poetry, the insight into the in-depth essence through the surface reaches the original appearance of the life, the world, and even the whole universe, the real state of which is just what Heidagger seeks and advocates. The context in which Heaney writes is complicated. He is always trying to establish individual spiritual order on the base of the sense of responsibility and social ethical order. During this course, Heaney ponders at the original meaning of life, pursues the right of freedom, affirms reasonable human nature and culture mode as expected, and displays ideal human nature concern as expected when facing realities. In postmodernist context, the writing mode is of great significance for human beings'existence and significance, thus allowing the study in this aspect to reveal its vitality.
The underlying deep structures have been found out through superficial dialogues in Heaney's writing. From the beginning, dialogues aim to set up an order, which integrates the individual spiritual order based on the sense of responsibility and social ethical order. Meanwhile, the order is to assure the realization of personal right for freedom.
This dissertation, including four chapters and the introduction, is based on the text close-reading, trying to explore the dialogues between politics and aesthetics, multicultural and identity, individual consciousness and social responsibility. Introduction reviews briefly the research results at home and abroad. The research method and framework are proposed here.
The first chapter "Dialogue with Literary Influence:Heaney and Modern British poetry" grooms the relationship and interactions between Heaney and modern British and Irish poetry. The international and local literary influences will be involved.
The second chapter "Dialogue with Reality:the Description of Real Context" analyzes Heaney's first five collections Death of a Naturalist, Door into the Dark, Wintering Out, North, Field Work and four main translations, to explore Heaney's contemplation on the history, reality, tradition and dialogue models.
The third chapter "Dialogue with Self:the Contraposition of Diverse Identities " combines four critical essays collections to explore the contrapositions among identities of nationality, culture and poet. Dialogue models and reflection vary with different stages and context.
The fourth chapter "Reconstruction and Transcendence:Freedom Authenticity" focuses on four collections after1995, including The Spirit Level, Electric Light, District and Circle, and Human Chain. Heaney tries to provide a common platform for dialogue to maintain diverse cultures, traditions and beliefs to develop simultaneously without denying differentiality, thus creating transcendental balance to bear freedom and originality in multi-perspective fusion.
This dissertation speaks well the interactive significance between Heaney and other forces with the help of some theories. And with the analysis of such a typical and individualistic poet, critic and translator with multi-identities, the consciousness of problematic realities and histories will be aroused in contradictory society, which can be also a reference for new thinking style. To a great extent, just through dialogues and reconstruction, readdress and balance, perfection and transcendence, which are all pinpointed to the real state and freedom, Heaney's poetry does reflect the experience of our times. It is also referred to the methodology to solve the spiritual confusion in postmodern context.
