문학사적 시각에서 본 모옌 문학 환상성의 함의

Abstract

When The Swedish Academy awarded a chinese writer Moyen the Nobel prize, they referred the three points related with Moyen's style, each of them is "William Faulkner and Gabriel Garcia Marquez", "old Chinese literature and oral tradition" and "Hallucinatory realism". Considering those points, this paper analyzed the implication of hallucination which is an important feature of Moyen's literature through the observation of literary history. The analysis is divided into two parts, one is the close-range view, the other is the distant view of literary history. In the first part, described the event that the magic realism of latin world had been a hot issue in China, and the debate around "modernism" among chinese scholars and writers. All these events shows us the atmosphere of chinese intelligents around 1980's. They were searching a way toward a new modernity by referring and absorbing from the western humanities. They also needed a new format of literature and language which could make them get out of compulsive an stiff dogmatism of power. In the second part, mainly treated two topics, about the magic realism in latin literature and the old chinese fantasy literature. First, To clarify the reason why the magic realism had been accepted wholeheartedly in China, explained the background of fomation of magic realism in esthetics, social, and philosophical field, also summarized the color of latin culture. In addition, examined how the magic realism appears in Moyen's pieces. It’s been proved that the background of magic realism’s formation just applies to chinese intellectual’s needs. It’s also revealed similarities between Latin America and China with their position in global society, which caused them the similar cultural needs including language reformation and reverse of thinking mechanism against corrupt rationalism. But the more significant affection of magic realism to chinese writers has happened in the way of opening their eyes to cast a new attention on the power of countless traditional literatrue sources which mainly come down in oral ways by grass roots such as folk tales and myth. They are full of hallucination based with Taoism and Buddism. It was not rare in chinese history that those open minds full of flexibility are capable of overturning the hardened dogmatism. Additionally, multifarious esthetic value make them exit from the "agitation propaganda literature" contained with national ideologies. Ultimately it helped them to pose a problem on global inequality and to interact in getting a new vision of modernity. This must be the way for the postmodernity to progress. Moyen’s hallucination is supposed to be caught in this context.
