摘要: 从“色块”到“模式”,再从“叠置”到“剖面的呈现”,美国诗人庞德在两次对地铁站经历的回忆和数个版本的地铁诗里不断细化对意象和产生意象的表意作诗法的定义。他特立独行的表述风格和对地铁诗细节变化的不予评述,造成了学界对其诗学核心概念“意象”见解各异的局面,尤其是在其与画家康定斯基的美学关系以及“意象”与“漩涡”之间异同的问题上容易发生误解和分歧。本文以地铁诗的色块版与模式版为文本基础,以郭象注《庄子》所提出的“独化”及其相关思想为理论观照,借其独特的“无待”或“非此非彼”视角重访庞德意象,探求其“原色”本义。

Abstract: From “spots of color” to “a pattern”, and from “super-position” to “presentation of facets,” Ezra Pound continuously revises his definitions of the image and the image-producing ideogrammic method in his two recollections of his metro station experience and in various versions of the metro poem. His idiosyncratic prose style and the fact that there is no comment from him on the subtle yet notable changes in different versions of the metro poem result in diversely different understandings of the image that is the core of his poetics. Misinterpretations and disagreements arouse particularly in discussions about how his poetics is related to Kandinsky's aesthetics and how the image can be redefined as the vortex. This essay examines the “color” and “pattern” versions of the metro poem from the perspective of duhua or lone-transformation and its related notions of alternative interconnectedness. Proposed by the Chinese philosopher Guo Xiang (252-312) in his annotations of the Zhuangzi, duhua offers a unique lens of non-dependence or non-engagement/attachment that is helpful and efficient in exploring the original meaning of the image as the “primary pigment,” as Pound calls it.
