史铁生小说中的人物既是自成一界的特定符号,是性格人、命运人,存在人、意象人,是演绎存在之相、表达存在之惑的镜像意象,接通寄予着作者关于命运与存在的思考;也是自由无界泛化的"X",是显现"我"之"印象"的印象人,能于"我"之印象中悉见世界,是携带生命消息、息息相通的生命全息体。从而,一方面促成主题的复调,文本的敞开、叙事的解放;另一方面,全息也只是"我"的印象,是浩渺消息之一种,体现了作者认知的深刻与悖论。而其"反中心人物"的符号手法也造成人物身份的不确定,缺少心理细节与动作情节的细织密缀,而显得意念化静态化。人物是特定的符号?还是无限填充作者意念的X?或是"符号+X"的有机体?这或许是任何一种先锋写作都应思考的界限问题。
The characters in Shi Tiesheng's novels are designated symbols for character,fate,existence and image,conveying the writer's puzzlement and reflections about existence.They are also an open "X" and holographic life,manifesting my impressions of the world and carrying information of life.The holographic characters bring about polyphonic theme,open text and free narration.On the other hand,the holographic characters are just one part of my impressions and one kind of information in the world,which reflects the writer's paradox.The symbolic writing of anti-central character caused indefinite character's identity as a result of lacking psychological details,exquisite actions and abundant plots.Is the character a designated symbol,open"X" or combination of symbol and "X"? It is a question of limitation that every vanguard writer should think about.
