Use the "nj bet365" technique to shape the character's heart
"China Social Sciences News": nj bet365 is a representative figure of "stream of consciousness" literature,His writing style is famous for being obscure and difficult。But "stream of consciousness" is not the only feature of nj bet365's works,He also displayed many other writing skills in his works。How these techniques are reflected in his works?
Rigel:nj bet365’s “stream of consciousness” technique is deeply loved by the pioneers of “stream of consciousness”、The influence of Irish modernist writer James Joyce,But nj bet365 skillfully used this literary technique in his own unique way。nj bet365 was originally a poet,Not involved in other literary fields,The use of "stream of consciousness" technique,It is the result of the combination of novels and poetry creation in his literary career。The so-called "stream of consciousness",Refers to the sound implicit in language、Rhythm and image are as important as the literal meaning they convey。nj bet365 often used this writing technique to enter the inner world of his characters,Present their inner world in different ways。For example,"As I Lay Dying" (As I Lay Dying) The Bundren family, farmers in the American South, had little formal education,But in the "Stream of Consciousness" chapter,nj bet365 from a "third-party perspective",Conversation using language beyond their level of consciousness and thinking ability,To examine the character’s inner world。Through this writing method,nj bet365 transferred a noble identity and temperament to those civilians who had been despised and despised,Thus, it has invisibly improved the ideological realm of the people at the bottom of the American South。simultaneously,In "The Sound and the Fury" (The Sound and the Fury) and "Absalom, Absalom!" 》(Absalom, Absalom!)中,nj bet365 uses the "stream of consciousness" technique to satirize those corrupt minds and even corrupt societies。
nj bet365’s innovation and experimentation in the presentation of time,is another distinctive mark in his works。He usually tells the events in the novel not in normal chronological order,Forcing the reader to piece the story together one by one。This fragmented narrative technique is very common among modernist writers,But I think nj bet365 used this technique more than other modernist writers,The results are also better。His works also have a unique stylistic style,For example, often deliberately not using capital letters, etc.。These techniques give readers an unbalanced and uncertain reading experience,It has even caused a lot of “dyslexia” that need to be solved,But this is also the charm of his works。nj bet365 believes that there is no so-called "only" objective truth,Multidimensional should always be used、different ways to view and understand the same reality。
In addition,nj bet365's works also focus on presenting "humorous" effects,Especially in later novels,This intention is more obvious。But this feature of his works is always easily overlooked,Because his comedy is usually a kind of black humor,The expression will be more subtle,It is often not as obvious as the impact that tragedy brings to readers,Therefore it is less likely to attract outside attention。
Facing the major real problems in nj bet365 society
"Chinese Social Sciences Journal": 1949,nj bet365 was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature,In recognition of his "powerful contribution to contemporary American fiction、Unparalleled contribution to art”。What do you think is the main reason for his success in literary creation?What made him famous?
Rigel:nj bet365 can become an outstanding writer, especially a novelist,There are two important reasons。First,He is highly experimental and revolutionary in the use of literary forms。He is good at using and innovating narrative techniques in his works,For example, stream of consciousness narrative、Multiple narrative perspectives、Decentralization、Various literary techniques such as time fluctuation。Second,As a novelist,He is able to face directly the major social reality problems existing in American society of his era,Especially racism。
nj bet365’s literary experiments and innovations are different from previous traditional literary forms,And had a profound influence on many subsequent writers。His works adopt multi-perspective narrative,Let different readers discover different meanings when reading。nj bet365’s novels have been read by generations,But always read and always new。He is in the specific context of a small Mississippi town in the United States at the beginning of the 20th century,Integrating eternity recognized by readers around the world、Common topics。
nj bet365 described the decline of ancient families in many works,His literary thoughts and creative concepts are largely the product of the American social background and characteristics of the times。In his opinion,The decline of the old aristocratic families represents the decline of the entire Old South in the United States。This decline and slavery、Racial oppression、Religious alienation is linked together,The regional characteristics that constitute the agricultural society of the American South。nj bet365 grew up on those stories of “old days”,Therefore the work is full of nostalgia。He not only described his great-grandfather’s heroic deeds in the Civil War,Also portrayed the story of the black maid Callie Barr。
"China Social Sciences Journal": In fact,Before nj bet365 became famous,Suffered a lot of ridicule,The writing style was also evaluated as “unfashionable”。Even though he won the Nobel Prize for Literature,Some American commentators and mainstream media still believe that,The Nobel Prize in Literature should not be awarded to a person who writes about drunkards and gamblers。What do you think about this?
Rigel:Indeed,nj bet365 attracted a lot of criticism before he became famous,Especially from his home state of Mississippi。They thought nj bet365 portrayed his hometown in a bad way,The characters are usually criminals or immoral people。nj bet365 responded,He is writing about real people,Instead of beautifying my hometown。He tells the issues that everyone must face by describing the most familiar stories of the American South。Some people may feel that awarding him the Nobel Prize is condoning the unjust behavior of the characters in his works,But this is actually nonsense。Whether it is evaluating artists or writers,All must be separated from the evaluation of their work。I think readers and reviewers need some time too,Only in order to appreciate nj bet365’s innovation in style and form。His novels are relatively obscure to read,It is difficult to give readers the pleasure of reading,But he was indeed ahead of the times。
Actually,In his life, nj bet365 did not care what American critics said about him。He did not deliberately apply for the award,I even attended the Nobel Prize for Literature award ceremony only after being persuaded by my family。He also declined an invitation to a dinner hosted by the President of the United States at the White House。He is unwilling to be interviewed,Never promote myself。He has a very strong self-drive,Other people’s opinions and opinions will not affect his original intention of writing。
Still popular among readers nj bet365 all over the world
《China Social Sciences Journal》: After nj bet365's "The Sound and the Fury" was translated and introduced into China,Having a huge response in the literary world。Marquez, the master of Latin American magical realism、Llosa and others also believe that “their writing is deeply influenced by nj bet365”。So how are nj bet365’s works received in other countries and regions?
Rigel:nj bet365 is generally popular in many countries。Considering the difficulty of reading and translating his works,This phenomenon is simply amazing。To this day,His writing skills are still praised by many writers,Critics and professors also continue to support him with academic actions。My nj bet365 Research Center carries out exchanges and cooperation with many nj bet365 researchers from China。We learned from Brazilian scholars,nj bet365 remains popular in Brazil today。There are also many groups of nj bet365 researchers in Europe,Mainly distributed in the UK and France,They have organized many special conferences and events about nj bet365 in the past few years。We also received many nj bet365 researchers from Japan,It is reported that they also established a rather large William nj bet365 Society。nj bet365 may never become a popular writer,But he always has a large number of loyal followers。
"China Social Sciences News": American literary critic Harold Bloom and other scholars are important American scholars who discovered nj bet365's "sparkling point"。They wrote many important articles praising nj bet365,Played a key role in establishing nj bet365’s literary status in the United States and even around the world。Then,What is the current status of research on nj bet365 today,What are the research results?
Rigel:a few years ago,More scholarly books and journal articles are published each year in the United States on nj bet365 than on many other authors,I think that’s still the case。After nj bet365,The African-American female writer Toni Morrison also won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1993。She is called the greatest American novelist of the 20th century after nj bet365,In fact,Her literary thoughts and expression techniques are also deeply influenced by nj bet365。From nj bet365 to Morrison, which I co-edited, was translated into Chinese about two years ago,Published by Central Compilation and Compilation Press of China。
In the past,Some critics have particularly focused on nj bet365's connection to the American South,And today,Many scholars who study him try to understand him in a larger global context。Scholars often associate him with transatlantic or Caribbean contexts,This also helps to connect him with China、Put together writers from Japan and other countries for a comparative study。I have also written an article to compare and analyze the writing styles of nj bet365 and the Chinese writer Mo Yan。I think the background of the times for both of them is related to modern development、Urbanization and war are closely related。Carefully study nj bet365's "The Invincible" and Mo Yan's "Red Sorghum",You will find that there are many similarities between the two in terms of writing style,For example, both are famous for their local literary works。In addition,Critics today are also paying more attention to the "minor" characters in nj bet365's works,Especially female and black characters,This has not received much attention in the past。
