内容摘要: 美国语言诗歌的杰出代表人物查尔斯•伯恩斯坦的诗歌融入了大量“无”的主题。不同于西方哲学传统上把“无”的概念视为无意义、不可知,在伯恩斯坦的诗学中,“无”被赋予了深刻的诗学意义和美学内涵。伯恩斯坦早年就学习过道禅哲学的著作,解读“无”的道禅意蕴是解读伯氏回音诗学的一个重要的崭新维度。伯恩斯坦将道禅哲学和道禅美学中的反传统和美国先锋诗歌创作结合,“虚实相生”的力量、“无言”之美和“陌生化”的表达彰显了语言的“妙悟”和“自性”。中国传统道禅哲学是蕴含于伯恩斯坦的回音诗学中的一个重要组成部分。

Abstract: As a prominent representative figure of American Language poetry, Charles Bernstein has incorporated a large number of themes concerning “nothingness” in his poetry. Contrary to the traditional Western philosophy that defines the concept of “nothingness” as meaninglessness and agnosticism,“nothingness” in Bernstein's poetics is endowed with profound poetic and aesthetic implications. Bernstein studied the works of Taoist and Zen philosophy in his early years. Understanding the Taoist-Zen connotations of “nothingness” is an important new dimension in interpreting Bernstein's echopoetics. Bernstein integrates the anti-traditional ideas in Taoist and Zen philosophy and aesthetics with the experiment of American avant-garde poetry. “The transformation between Xu (emptiness) and Shi (Being), ”the beauty of“speechlessness” and the expression of “Defamiliarization”show the “epiphany” of language and the “nature”of language. The Chinese traditional Taoist and Zen philosophy is an important part of Bernstein's echopoetics.
