故乡是文学永恒的主题。在文学人类学视域下,故乡具有复杂而立体的多意层面,即作为地缘的故乡、作为族群的故乡和作为“他者”的故乡。同时,故乡叙事作为人类基本精神诉求之一,从“自然故乡”到“文化故乡”的话语建构过程,是作家对其民情风俗进行“深描”、使故乡无名的地方性知识上升为具有人类普世性意义话语的过程,也是作家进行文学地图重绘的过程。
Hometown is an eternal theme in literary narrative. From the perspective of literary anthropology, hometown is always described as geography, ethnic group and otherness. Narrative on hometown, as one of the basic spiritual activities of human, is " thick description" of local customs, conversion of meaning to universal significance and redrawing of literary map in the process of discourse construction from the "natural home" to the "cultural home".
