“杀戮之病”——张贵兴《野猪渡河》的祛魅与复魅

“The Disease of Killing”——The Disenchantment and Reenchantment of Zhang Guixing’s "Wild Boars Cross the River"

Abstract

张贵兴近作《野猪渡河》既蕴含一种从个体到国族乃至种属的祛魅叙事，又包含以怪兽、面具、鸦片三大象征物建构的复魅叙事。而小说于历史叙事之中敷演蔚为大观的杀戮书写，其“杀戮之病”溢出了所述的历史时段，渗透到当下时代。本文以马克斯·韦伯（Max Weber）因论述现代性而产生的“祛魅”概念，以及由此敷演出的“复魅”概念为标杆，讨论《野猪渡河》中的“祛魅”与“复魅”现象。同时也包括在前述两者的平衡下，讨论小说家是如何通过历史叙事中的杀戮书写直陈虚无的时代精神。

Zhang Guixing's recent work “Wild Boars Cross the River” contains not only a disenchantment narrative from individuals to nationalities and even species, but also a re-enchantment narrative constructed from three major symbols: monsters, masks, and opium. The novel performs a spectacular killing writing in the historical narrative, and its “disease of killing” overflows the historical period and penetrates into the current era. This article uses Max Weber's concept of “disenchantment” arising from his discussion of modernity and the resulting concept of “re-enchantment” as a benchmark to discuss the phenomena of “disenchantment” and “re-enchantment” in “The Wild Boars Cross the River”. And discuss how, with the balance between the two mentioned above, the novelist directly expresses the nihilistic spirit of the times through the writing of killings in historical narratives.
