发布时间：2019-07-01 19:42
【摘要】：“911事件”不仅对于美国社会有着极其深远的影响,也在一定程度上影响着文学创作。作为一部重要的911小说,约翰·厄普代克的《恐怖分子》描述了一个美国本土少年——艾哈迈德,在受到主流社会的排斥与宗教极端人士的蛊惑之下,成为一名恐怖分子的故事。艾哈迈德身上有着多重“他者”的表现:种族、宗教以及恐怖主义者的身份。三者结合使得艾哈迈德彻底成为了一个与众不同的“他者”,在文化夹缝中苦苦寻觅身份认同,渴望找到归属感。本论文通过分析艾哈迈德在成长过程中经历的各种挫折与失望,结合其具体行为,探寻其成长轨迹,并且从心理演变的角度来阐述族裔、宗教等对他最终成为恐怖分子的深刻影响,从而揭示厄普代克小说创作的独特之处。与那些在作品中对恐怖主义提出强烈批评的作者不同,厄普代克借助于艾哈迈德的成长,结合伊斯兰教的内涵及其影响,以相对客观的视角聚焦于主人公思想的微妙变化,通过描述“他者”,关怀“他者”,最终达到批评美国主流社会的目的。作品唤起人们反思美国社会在对待少数族裔上的不当之处,促使主流社会抛弃成见,团结一心来消灭恐怖主义。作品关注人物内心,情感描写细腻,对美国社会伊斯兰教与穆斯林的境况描述细致深刻,为读者提供了充分的想象与解读空间。
[Abstract]:9 / 11 not only has a profound impact on American society, but also affects literary creation to a certain extent. As an important 9 / 11 novel, John Updike's terrorist tells the story of a native American teenager, Ahmed, who became a terrorist after being excluded from mainstream society and bewitched by religious extremists. Ahmed has multiple manifestations of the other: race, religion and terrorist identity. The combination of the three makes Ahmed completely become a different "other", struggling to find identity in the cultural gap, eager to find a sense of belonging. By analyzing all kinds of setbacks and disappointments experienced by Ahmed in the process of growing up, combining with his concrete behavior, this paper explores his growth track, and expounds the profound influence of ethnic origin and religion on his becoming a terrorist from the perspective of psychological evolution, so as to reveal the uniqueness of Updike's novel creation. Different from those authors who strongly criticize terrorism in his works, Updike, with the help of Ahmed's growth, combined with the connotation and influence of Islam, focuses on the subtle changes of the protagonist's thought from a relatively objective angle of view, and finally achieves the purpose of criticizing the mainstream American society by describing "the other" and caring for the "other". The work evokes reflection on the mistreatment of ethnic minorities in American society and urges mainstream society to abandon prejudices and unite to eliminate terrorism. The works pay attention to the inner heart of the characters, exquisite emotional description, detailed and profound description of the situation of Islam and Muslims in American society, and provide readers with sufficient imagination and interpretation space.
