荣格原型理论视域下《本巴》人物形象解读

Interpretation of Character Images in Benba from the Perspective of Jung’s Archetype Theory

摘要: 新疆作家刘亮程的长篇小说《本巴》是一部以蒙古族英雄史诗《江格尔》为母题、在当代语境下重新想象时间与存在的寓言性文本。小说以“时间停在本巴”这一史诗母题为叙事支点，通过洪古尔和赫兰两人主要视角的阐述与集体性口述，让读者深刻体会到了本巴独特的草原文化。基于荣格关于集体无意识理论下的原型理论，从阴影、人格面具、阿尼玛三个方面来分析《本巴》中的人物性格和复杂情感，为进一步理解《本巴》提供了新的可能。

Abstract: Liu Liangcheng, a Xinjiang-based writer, has created his novel Benba as an allegorical text that reimagines time and existence in a contemporary context, drawing on the Mongolian heroic epic Jangar as its motif. Centered on the epic’s core theme of “time standing still in Benba” as its narrative fulcrum, the novel employs dual primary perspectives from Honggur and Helan, supplemented by collective oral accounts, allowing readers to deeply immerse themselves in the unique grassland culture of Benba. Analyzing the characters’ personalities and complex emotions in Benba from three dimensions—shadow, persona, and anima—based on Jung’s archetype theory derived from his collective unconsciousness framework offers a new possibility for a deeper understanding of the novel.
