A Study On The Lightness Writing Of Invisible Cities

Invisible Cities,created in 1972,is one of Calvino’s later masterpieces,and is the master of his text experiments.And this article will combine Calvino’s "poetic" aesthetics,which is the poetic idea put forward in "The American Lecture",to try to give a textual interpretation of Calvino’s later masterpiece "Invisible Cities ".As Calvino put it in the preface to the "Invisible Cities " : "Perhaps these more slender images(’light cities’ or others)are the highlights of this book." Regardless of textual form or ideological connotation,novels Both fully embody the aesthetics of card-style creation,especially the "lightness" concept.It is both a specific textual feature and an overall atmosphere tone.It also reflects Calvino’s thinking on the existence and development of new forms of literature.Writer’s wisdom and poetic life philosophy.This article,based on Calvino’s definition of "lightness" in the American Lecture,combines textual content to analyze the expression of the "lightness" concept in "Invisible Cities " from three aspects.The first chapter is the lightness of the novel language,which is mainly reflected in the minimal language form and the unfamiliar poetic language.Calvino believes that expressing lightness in literary creation needs to redefine the way of writing.Therefore,in the creation of novels,the use of light,slender words and highly condensed concise sentences will make the narrative language abandon the traditional mode of examination and reduce the weight of the text,thereby achieving the literary purpose of emphasis.And those seemingly inconsistent,logically reversed,and abstract philosophical language are also manifestations of alienation art techniques,the author’s control of the transient,condensed complex intellectual thinking activities in a very short text space,Break the traditional narrative description,weaken the plot,concise and concise the city into a light,floating space of "seeing" and "thinking".In the second chapter,this article will discuss the light structure of the novel,which mainly reflects the characteristics of the crystalline text."Crystal structure" is the structural model of " Invisible Cities ".Calvino believes that lightness should be as precise as a bird,not feathery.In the text structure,the "self-organizing system" is opposite to the flame."Crystal structure is such a symbol.It is precise,transparent,and infinitely multiplying.The small and complete crystal structure reflects the rationality and order of geometric figures.In the Invisible Cities,the encyclopedic "super-fiction" and the dialogue pattern of multi-layered space interaction are the main manifestations of crystal structure.The third chapter discusses the light image in the novel,starting from two aspects: the visual image that constitutes the city and the reflection on the spatial meaning of "city"." Invisible Cities " is an obvious visual text creation,which has certain guiding significance to the fields of architecture and art design.Many light visual images about the city appear in the text,such as the city of the moon,the city of the sky,and the city of the cobwebs.They have inspired the future urban planning and urban living mode to a certain extent.Finally,there is a discussion about the image of "city" as a space carrier,corresponding to the different views of the city of the traveler Marco Polo and the emperor Kublai Khan: from the perspective of Kublai Khan as the ruler,I think that you can control all things by looking for a fixed pattern.Marco Polo believes that the nature of the world is changing and flowing.Only by looking at it from multiple perspectives can we truly feel the charm of the city and everything,and resolve it.The weight of the void.Through the content of the above three chapters,this article aims to become more and more opaque in the present,hoping to continue to dig and explore the " Invisible Cities " to discover the advanced aesthetic value that is still inspiring.
