  • 先飛齋日記集

    Xianfeizhai Diary Collection

    本書蒐羅作者日記的整理版。日記日記,顧名思義就是日日記之,記自己看到的、聽到的、想到的,所做的、所說的,以記當天為主,偶爾,也可追記。至於內容的取捨,記啥寫啥,記多記少,那由日記主人決定,但堅持是最重要的。如三天打魚,兩天曬網,那不能算名副其實的日記,最多稱周記。印象中曾讀到過一位名人的一篇寥寥六字的日記:"今天無事可記。"其實這也是一種寫法,至少透露出日記主人百無聊賴的心情與無所事事的狀態。日記從沒規定一天一定要寫多少字,記多少事。日記應該是諸文體中最為自由的一種式樣。日記,貴在日日記之,貴在真實記之。我總認為日記應該是給自己看的,準備給別人看的日記難免摻假。我們不一定模仿大人物,模仿社會名人的日記,看樣學樣地記之。日記是個純私人的東西,你願怎麼寫,就怎麼寫,如果你不拿出去發表,不拿出去傳播,寫什麼都是允許的,都是無罪的。最值得鼓勵的是真實,只要真實,記長記短,記多記少,發議論,談思想 ...

  • 抒情的愉悅

    by 陳惠英 ...
    “抒情藝術”,一個說不完的話題。陳惠英女士以文學作品中的“抒情藝術”為主要研究課題,將現當代文學作為研究重點,選取不同作家的作品,從不同的視角進行梳理、解讀、體味,對抒情藝術運用於文學作品所反映出的不同技巧、傳達的多重意蘊作了獨到深入的分析。跟隨這些分析,我們會慢慢走進文本個案中展現的聲色世界,感受未曾有過的閱讀愉悅。本書11篇文章,觀點獨到,討論深入。例如:作者認為張愛玲和西西的小說世界多“封閉”的空間,二人在其間開展故事時,由於“觀看”的方式不同,催生了讀者對其小說不同的“觀看”;而二人的這種不同,乃與她們的人生態度相關。 ... Read more
