在后現(xiàn)代主義思潮觸及歷史哲學(xué)范疇之后,宏大歷史敘事的真實性和權(quán)威性受到了普遍的質(zhì)疑。研究者開始從“真實”和“虛構(gòu)”來重新思考歷史本質(zhì)和歷史書寫的使命。歷史的書寫總是離不開權(quán)力關(guān)系和意識形態(tài)的約束。對歷史問題和歷史敘述的重新認知也從歷史哲學(xué)范疇延伸到文學(xué)維度。建構(gòu)于后現(xiàn)代主義的小說有著鮮明的自我指涉特征,既回歸歷史又質(zhì)疑歷史,試圖揭示歷史掩蓋下的文化政治意味。非裔美國作家科爾森·懷特黑德的長篇小說《地下鐵道》對美國內(nèi)戰(zhàn)前的社會背景進行歷史性關(guān)照,充分發(fā)揮想象,虛構(gòu)人物和故事情節(jié),既反映了黑奴的生存狀態(tài),又體現(xiàn)了作者對邊緣化的黑人族群命運的深切關(guān)懷。本文將《地下鐵道》置于后現(xiàn)代歷史語境,擬用海登·懷特的后現(xiàn)代歷史敘事學(xué)和琳達·哈琴的后現(xiàn)代歷史書寫元小說作為主要理論框架,探討《地下鐵道》的后現(xiàn)代歷史敘事書寫手法,從而深究懷特黑德的文化政治意圖和策略。首先,從“歷史書寫元小說”的角度解讀作品,認為其既具有元小說強烈的自我指涉性,又悖謬地關(guān)注外在的歷史現(xiàn)實。懷特黑德把小說建立在歷史和現(xiàn)實的基礎(chǔ)上,采用后現(xiàn)代反諷和戲仿的寫作手法達到自揭虛構(gòu)的目的,突顯了歷史的主觀性和虛構(gòu)性,暴露出深藏于文本的權(quán)力...
