| Since the beginning of human beings,it has always been accompanied by disasters,and earthquakes,as the most instantaneous and destructive type of disaster,have also left many traces in the history of literature.With the development of economy and the advancement of ideas,people’s narrative perspectives and themes of earthquake novels have gradually turned to pluralism,and cultural reflections on disasters are constantly generated in the narrative,while questioning the meaning and value of human existence.Based on this,this paper attempts to analyze the narrative turn and position of contemporary earthquake novels from the textual perspective,and refine the guiding significance contained in it from the perspective of aesthetics.The first chapter of this paper mainly discusses the reasons for the selection of the topic,including the necessity of disaster narrative and the historical tradition of disaster narrative.Secondly,the research object of this paper is defined,that is,contemporary earthquake novels;Thirdly,the research objectives of this paper are described from the aspects of traditional model,subject width,disciplinary depth and practical care.Finally,the relevant research results of predecessors are summarized.Chapter 2 provides an overview of contemporary earthquake novels.On the one hand,the concept and time of earthquake novels described in this article are defined,and on the other hand,several large-scale earthquake events in recent years are listed,and their current situation and literary expression are sorted out.Chapter 3 analyzes the multidimensional narrative direction of contemporary disaster novels in terms of ideological implications.On the one hand,there is the physical narrative,including the commodity exchange property and political discipline property of the body.On the other hand,the spiritual narratives include memory construction,ethics and morality,cultural nostalgia,religious divinity,and natural ecology,etc.which are analyzed by means of a fine reading of the text.Chapter 4 mainly extracts the spiritual connotation of earthquake novels from the philosophical and aesthetic perspectives,and tries to summarize the parts that have a guiding effect on real life from the perspectives of fate theme,resistance theme,and ecological theme.Through the study of typical texts of contemporary earthquake novels,it is found that compared with traditional narrative modes,contemporary earthquake novels are found to be compared with traditional narrative modes.More attention to the human self,multi-dimensional expression in ethics,religion and other directions has also gradually broadened its aesthetic space.This article argues that only by being rooted in such a spiritual dimension and implementing its ideas in writing and life at the height of philosophy can we dissolve the instrumental narrative of hypocrisy and exaggeration,and constantly explore the fundamental question of survival,"how should human beings exist". |
