福克纳诺贝尔奖致辞(William Faulkner: Nobel Prize Acceptance Speech
I feel that this award was not made to me as a man, but to my work --a life's work in the agony and sweat of the human spirit, not for glory and least of all for profit, but to create out of the materials of the human spirit something which did not exist before. So this award is only mine in trust. It will not be difficult to find a dedication for the money part of it commensurate with the purpose and significance of its origin. But I would like to do the same with the acclaim too, by using this moment as a pinnacle from which I might be listened to by the young men and women already dedicated to the same anguish and travail, among whom is already that one who will some day stand where I am standing.

威廉福克纳 介绍William Faulkner
I believe that man will not merely endure: he will prevail. He is immortal, not because he alone among creatures has an inexhaustible voice, but because he has a soul, a spirit capable of compassion and sacrifice and endurance.
William Faulkner
(1897-1962)
---One of the greatest writer in 20th century
---initiator of Southern Renaissance ---one of the most influential modernist novel writers in the West
所以我们今天的悲剧带有普遍性和全 球性，这种肉体的恐惧由来已久，绵 延至今。以致我们几乎难以承受。精 神不再被关注，人们只关注一个问题: 我什么时候才能一鸣惊人？
Because of this, the young man or woman writing today has forgotten the problems of the human heart in conflict with itself which alone can make good writing because only that is worth writing about, worth the agony and the sweat.
(P4)只有当他重温了这些，他写作起 来才会如同亲临其境，如同亲历人的 结局。我不屑于接受人的终结。谁都 可以脱口说出：人是不朽的，就因为 他可以忍耐；在夜幕四合时分，即便 临终的钟声在残阳映照的最后一块荒 芜的枯石上响过、消逝，仍将还有一 个声音：他的声音仍在叙述，微弱而 不绝如缕。我拒绝接受这些。

威廉福克纳代表作ppt
《我的弥留之际》是“关于人类忍受能力的一个原始 寓言”。写农妇本德仑太太死后，一家人把她送去墓 地，为期10天的一次“苦难的历程”。在期间，每人 都有不同的表现。尽管有种种愚蠢、自私、野蛮的表 现，这一家人为了信守诺言，尊重亲人感情，还是克 服了巨大的困难与阻力，完成他们的使命。
《押沙龙，押沙龙！》书名取自《圣经》，本是大卫王 对阴谋篡位被杀身死的爱子押沙龙发出的哀叹，福克纳 借此表达父子反目、兄弟阋墙、命运不可违的悲剧主题。 具有史诗结构和悲剧气氛。
海德格尔认为，时间构成了人的实体或存在。 时间性是现代人的视界，“现代”使时间的意识空前
强化。 萨特认为作品中突出强调的是现在。
海德格尔和萨特都强调人的未来性：“人不是他所有 的一切的总和，而是他还没有而可以有的一切的综 合。”

“神话模式”三、一、四章的标题分别为1928年4月6日至8 日，这三天恰好是基督受难日到复活节。而第二章的1910 年6月2日在那一年又正好是基督圣体节的第八天。因此， 康普生家历史中的这四天都与基督受难的四个主要日子有 关联。不仅如此，从每一章的内容里，也都隐约可以找到 与《圣经·新约》中所记基督的遭遇大致平行之处。
人生犹如痴人说梦，充满着喧哗与骚动，却没有任何 意义。
小说的故事发生在杰弗生镇上的康普生家。这是一个曾经 显赫一时的望族，祖上出过一位州长、几名将军。家中原 来广有田地，黑奴成群，如今只剩下一幢破败的宅子，黑 奴也只剩下老婆婆迪尔西和她的小孙女。
一家之主康普生是个律师，但从不接洽业务，整天醉醺醺 的发表空谈，把悲观失望的情绪传给大儿子昆丁。
康普生太太无病呻吟，总感觉自己在受气吃亏。她时时不 忘自己是南方大家闺秀的身份，家中却没有一个人从她那 里得到温暖。

福克纳
福克纳坚信自己熟悉的家乡和人民是他进行文学创作 发挥想象力的最可靠的源泉。“我发现我家乡的那块 邮票般大小的地方值得一写，只怕我一辈子也写完, 我 只要化实为虚，就可以放手充分发挥我那点小小的才 华。我可以像上帝一样，把这些人调来调去，不受时 空的限制。结果非常成功，至少在我看来效果极好。” 于是，一个个人物、一个个家族的故事开始在想象中 繁殖，场面和情节开始衍生，想象力不断地涌现。
二、宗教色彩
福克纳在新教占统治地位的南方长大,而且长期生活 在 它的影响下, 他的文学想象必然带有这样的宗教色彩 , 在福克纳的作品中本能地大量使用基督教典故，明显 表现出基督教思想和意识。在福克纳的小说中,最直 接 最明显地使用基督教故事的是《寓言》。在《喧哗与 骚动》中，故事和结构都是以耶稣基督受难的时间为 背景的。1928 年的三个日期，恰是那一年的基督受 难 日、复活节前和复活节；
获奖感言
“对于一个作家和一个文艺工作者来说，占领他的 工作全部时间的应该是人类内心古老的真理、那些 亘古不变的真理，是爱、荣耀、怜悯、自豪、同情 和牺牲，除非他去铭记这些真理，如果他不铭记这 些真理，那么他只是在诅咒的阴影里写作，因为他 写的不是爱而是情欲，他写的失败里没有人失去任 何真正有价值的东西，他的胜利里面看不到希望， 最糟糕的是人们从这里面看不到悲悯和同情，他写 的哀伤里面留不下真正的伤痕，他写的不是心灵而 是内分泌。”
《喧哗与骚动》
《喧哗与骚动》通过康普生一家的没落，为南方传统和贵 族精神谱写了一曲挽歌。 “南方骑士”昆丁对老南方传统恋恋不舍，不过，他虽然 保留了贵族式的骄傲，却缺乏适应社会变化的能力，最终 以自杀的方式逃避现实。杰生顺应潮流，完全抛弃了贵族 价值体系，却同时丧失了人性，那种资产者的实利主义和 市侩精神，残忍、自私得令人发指。班吉的思想纯真得像 一面镜子，但是没有思考的能力，只不过是一个无法自理 的善良的白痴。凯蒂曾经天真活泼，充满活力，然而后来 失足堕落，彻底摧毁了南方淑女形象。一家人的手足相残， 更是破坏了南方重视家庭与亲情的传统。在福克纳笔下， 老南方已经彻底解体，新南方却又异化充斥，在绝望之中， 唯有正直、善良、乐观的劳动者迪尔西，体现出人性复活 的人道主义理想，那也正是南方的希望所在。
