當代藏族漢語小說中「格薩爾史詩」與「史詩說唱藝人」的民族文化意涵

The ethnic culture implication of the Gesar epic and the image of artist that tell-and-sings the epic in the contemporary Tibetan literature in Chinese

當代藏族作家在創作漢語小說時，或刻意、或自然而然地述及傳統藏族文化，成為具有藏地風情的文學作品。格薩爾史詩既是重要的藏族傳統文學與文化，作家們也就或隱或顯地在小說中提及相關主題。小說中，援引／重述藏族格薩爾史詩、史詩說唱藝人形象，以反映史詩神話與現代藏族「除魅」（disenchanted）社會所產生的衝突性，具有新的詮釋空間。尤其作家們如何藉由格薩爾史詩、史詩說唱藝人塑造保守藏族史詩神話中的神秘性，如何表現其所思考的時代議題，將是本篇論文所欲探討的重心。 The Chinese literature works by contemporary Tibetan writers are provided with the Tibetan customs for deliberately or naturally referring to the traditional Tibetan culture. The Gesar epic is so important in the Tibetan traditional literature and culture that the writers refer to the relevant themes in their novels implicitly or explicitly. This kind of act of referring to/rewriting of the Tibetan Gesar epic or the image of artist that tell-and-sings the epic has created new possibility for interpretation because of the conflict within the novels between the epic myth and the disenchanted modern Tibetan society. How the writers have created and kept the mystique in the Tibetan epic myth by means of the Tibetan Gesar epic and artist that tell-and-sings the epic and how they present the contemporary issues that they are thinking about in their novels are what this paper intends to inquire into.
