芥川龙之介小说《梦》的“后印象主义”阐释

芥川龙之介为了实践“没有完整情节的小说”理念，对其晚期创作的小说《梦》的叙事模式进行了大胆创新，借鉴后印象派画家高更的“立体综合主义”理论，小说叙事由客观再现转向主观表现，用梦境、直觉、本能对抗与消解理性，具有后现代主义小说的一些特征。但因其受困于“人工”与“自然”的悖论，导致其对主体性的追寻不够彻底。芥川龙之介的死是时代的悲剧，他的一生是“美神与宿命”互搏的一生。

Interpretation of Ryunosuke Akutagawa’s Novel The Dream from the Perspective of Post-impressionism

In order to practice the concept of “novels with incomplete plots”, Ryunosuke Akutagawa innovated narrative mode of his novel Dream of his later period. He made use of “Synthetic Cubism”theory of Gauguin, a post-impressionism artist. Narration changed from objective reappearance to subjective expression. He used dreams, intuition and instinct to ifght and eliminate rationality with some features of post-modernism. Trapped in the paradox of“artiifciality”and“nature”, his pursuit of subjectivity was not sufifcient. Ryunosuke Akutagawa’s death was the tragedy of the era. His life relfected the fight of“beauty god against destiny”.
