摘要/Abstract

内容摘要： 朱利安·巴恩斯《10½章世界史》中的10章故事通过对过去之“真”的拆解,展现了星丛化的历史结构。这一历史结构将过去与未来汇聚“当下”并使之相互映照,解构了总体性历史书写的叙事成规和话语形态,颠覆了其中所蕴涵的意识形态机制。当无名之辈和异质性因素得以呈现,10章历史故事又与半章插曲中爱的活力形成一种内在呼应,以冲破自我中心主义观念的辖制,使未来的救赎内嵌于流动的“当下”,一种兼容共在、面向未来的世界史才会成为可能。

关键词: 《10½章世界史》, 朱利安·巴恩斯, 星丛, 总体性, 爱的活力

Abstract: In Julian Barnes' A History of the World in 10½ Chapters, ten chapters present the clustering structure of history by deconstructing the “truth” of the past. Such a historical structure, which coalesces the past and the future into “the present” and makes them reflect each other, deconstructs the narrative conventions and discourse forms in the writing of totalized history and subverts its hidden ideological mechanism. A compatible and future-oriented world history will become possible when the subalterns and the heterogeneous factors are properly represented and, furthermore, the historical stories in the ten chapters and the vitality of love in the half-chapter interlude generate an innate response, breaking up the bondage of egocentrism and embedding the future redemption in the flowing “present”.

Key words: A History of the World in 10½, Chapters, Julian Barnes, star clusters, totality, the vitality of love
