【摘要】：埃德加·劳伦斯·多克特罗是当代美国文学界后现代小说家中的佼佼者,其作品颇具个人风格。《拉格泰姆时代》是多克特罗的代表作品之一,并于1976年获得了第一枚“全国图书评论界奖”和美国高校学术界所颁发的“文科和文学奖”。在《拉格泰姆时代》中,作者通过使用一系列后现代主义写作手法以及对音乐、绘画和电影艺术的模仿,将许多真实历史人物和真实历史事件与虚构的角色和故事在不断变换的场景里交织在一起,构建了一个空间化的叙事文本。这种风格与叙事空间理论的指向十分吻合。但是,目前文学界对《拉格泰姆时代》的研究主要集中在新历史主义和后现代主义方面,鲜有学者从叙事空间的视角来探究这部小说。叙事空间理论在二十世纪的西方文学批评界中扮演着重要角色。其奠基人、美国著名文学批评家约瑟夫·弗兰克在他发表于1945年的《现代文学中的空间形式》一文中首次系统地提出了小说空间形式的理论。加之,现当代一些哲学家和文学评论家的著述对叙事空间理论的巩固和发展产生了巨大的影响。本文试图运用叙事空间理论来解读《拉格泰姆时代》中的空间叙事方法和空间化小说的审美意义。除了对多克特罗和《拉格泰姆时代》进行简要地介绍外,论文还对国内外有关这部小说的研究进行了回顾和归纳,对叙事学的发展史及叙事空间理论的形成及其体系进行了概括。在此基础上,论文在主体部分利用叙事空间理论,对《拉格泰姆时代》的地志空间、社会空间、时空体空间和空间化小说的审美意义进行了分析,着重剖析了小说的时空体形式。论文最后指出,多克特罗在《拉格泰姆时代》中通过使用非线性、并置、拼贴、蒙太奇、等后现代主义创作手法以及对音乐、绘画和电影的模仿,构造出了一个视觉化了的、令读者感到陌生的小说空间。小说作者正是通过这样一个空间生动地再现了一段真实的历史时空,并且指出在那个被认为是美国历史上繁荣发展的历史阶段,美国社会实际上充斥着各种矛盾和冲突,并非是一个快乐而和谐的社会。而叙事空间理论不但为读者全面理解小说《拉格泰姆时代》提供了一个新视角,而且有助于读者赏析这部后现代小说的艺术风格。
[Abstract]:Edgar Lawrence Doktrow is one of the most outstanding postmodern novels in contemporary American literature. In 1976, he won the first National Book criticism Award and the Arts and Literature Award awarded by the academic circles of American colleges and universities. In the Lagrangian era, the author uses a series of postmodernist writing techniques and imitates the art of music, painting, and film. By interweaving many real historical characters and real historical events with fictional characters and stories in changing scenes, a spatialized narrative text is constructed. This style coincides with the direction of narrative space theory. However, at present, the studies on Lagertam era mainly focus on the new historicism and postmodernism, and few scholars explore the novel from the perspective of narrative space. The theory of narrative space plays an important role in the western literary criticism in the 20 ~ (th) century. Joseph Frank, its founder and famous American literary critic, put forward the theory of space form of novel for the first time in his "Space form in Modern Literature" published in 1945. In addition, the works of some modern philosophers and literary critics have a great influence on the consolidation and development of narrative space theory. This paper tries to use the theory of narrative space to interpret the space narrative method and the aesthetic significance of the space novel in Lagertam era. In addition to a brief introduction to Doktrow and the Lagertaire era, the paper also reviews and summarizes the research on this novel at home and abroad. The development history of narratology and the formation and system of narrative space theory are summarized. On this basis, the thesis analyzes the aesthetic significance of Geography space, social space, space-time body space and space-based novels in the main part of the thesis by using the theory of narrative space. This paper mainly analyzes the form of time and space of the novel. Finally, the paper points out that Doktello constructed a visual one by using nonlinearity, collocation, collage, montage, and imitation of music, painting and film. A novel space unfamiliar to the reader. It is through such a space that the novel author vividly reproduces a true historical space and time, and points out that in that historical period, which is considered to be a period of prosperity and development in the history of the United States, American society is actually full of various contradictions and conflicts. Not a happy and harmonious society. The theory of narrative space not only provides a new perspective for readers to fully understand the novel, but also helps readers appreciate the artistic style of the postmodern novel.
