神话与宗教：塞林格笔下“少年智者”的自我追寻.pdfVIP

内容摘要 本论文以塞林格后期短篇小说为研究对象，主要探寻塞林格笔下“少年智者” 形象群的自我追求。 本文主要借鉴了比较神话学的“英雄之旅”模式，重点考察塞林格作品“追 寻”和“英雄”两大母题。在塞林格的作品中，不断出现重复的神话结构元素: 主人公在在社会中经历了相似的疏离感之后踏上自我追寻的旅程，这一追寻过程 分为坠落、黑暗和启蒙等几个环节。主人公的心理状态是特殊社会历史背景的产 物，但同时他们的旅程也可在诸多民族的神话中找到共性。因此，本文视塞林格 的主人公为原型人物，其追寻之旅为原型旅程。同时，塞林格的主人公均是青少 年角色，这种“儿童原型”背后蕴含的深刻含义也反映了作者独特的美学和精神 追求。 本文通过分析三位重要主人公完整的追寻旅程，还将深入探讨宗教在“启蒙” 环节中产生差异化作用的原因和影响，从而总结出，塞林格的宗教观乃是一种以 东方思想为核心的融合宗教观。作者在此宗教观点基础上建立的追寻模式，不但 可以反作用于特定历史背景下人物的行动和选择，也同样适用于不同历史时期的 许多文学作品，这正说明了塞林格文学创作的历时性与共时性。 关键词：塞林格；后期短篇小说；原型；东方宗教；自我追寻；儿童 I Abstract This paper mainly discusses self-quest of the y oung wise men image in J.D Salinger`s later fiction.
