The Dimensionality Of Discourse And Ggeography

Chang Yao is an important contemporary poet in China. His poetry increasingly draws attention from the literary circle, because the text includes"idealism and romanticism, sense of tragedy and suffering''; furthermore, his understanding of the west and his persistence on individual discourse are called a special case in poetry history; it also well exemplifies the west. Since the foundation of China, about fifty years of writing, he has witnessed the political and social changes, and actively participated in it, so his poetry possesses the national and historical characteristics, becoming a recognized public experience or collective memory, at the same time without loosing his unique individuality and regional characteristics. Maybe it is a better way to evaluate his poetry in the view of poetry discourse and poetry geographical dimension. So based on discourse analysis, social practice and discourse practice, the writer puts the poetry text in the framework of changing poetry discourse, with expectation of having a better understanding of the text or hyper text. In this way his poetry can be generally divided into three types: unique odes, exile's echo and anxiety. With regard to his poetry geography dimension or regional uniqeness, we can analyze it from where-he-is——the west. In his poetry the West and Chang Yao actually have a relationship of mutual construction or co-construction; that means the west assured his uniqueness of poetry discourse and his greatness; meanwhile, he has discovered the original vitality of Qing Hai plateau, refreshed the people and things, naturally combined poetry with geography, carrying a sense of poetry geography. Analyzing the text, we also discovered images in his poetry to a large extent transcend the geography or the regional culture, ideology of different periods having resided in a symbolizing system, so it is greatly related to the change of poetry morphology.In summary, Chang Yao's poetry discourse analysis in retrospect does research into those common characteristics in Chinese contemporary literature and poetry history; while the poetry geography in a space dimension expound his own individuality. We may adapt this way to other poets.
