【摘要】：菲利普·罗斯是美国当代最重要的犹太作家之一，他对美国的文学产生了深远和重大的影响。《美国牧歌》是《美国三部曲》之一，也是其第五部纳森·祖克曼系列小说，它使罗斯在1998年荣获普利策奖。一些评论家将之视为其所有作品中最具思想深度的一部。本文主要从新现实主义视角来分析菲利普·罗斯的《美国牧歌》，小说主要讲述犹太四代人在美国的生活史。在不同的社会背景下，，他们对当时社会的理解各不相同。在家庭和主流文化之间，他们面临双重的矛盾和困惑。论文从新现实主义视角解读《美国牧歌》，分为三章。第一章探讨了《美国牧歌》所反映出的新现实主义的民族性回归主题。从民族代沟，亲情的背叛和人性的异化等几方面加以分析。第二章从人物形象刻画入手，分析了《美国牧歌》中体现的新现实主义小说中的典型人物形象。通过对人物的悲剧，道德的遗失，和历史背景下的典型人物来细微描述，罗斯反映出当代犹太人在美国这个文化大熔炉里面临的各种心理冲击，以及异族人民在夹缝中的生活困境。第三章主要探讨了小说的艺术特征。《美国牧歌》吸纳了后现代主义文学创作的艺术特征，同时，也借鉴了现代主义文学作品中神话重构的艺术表现手法，对伊甸园进行了重构，从犹太民族独特的历史和神话传统中发掘了人类生存的本体意义。结论部分指出，就目前而言美国文学界对新现实主义的界定还不是很明晰，但这并不影响我们用新现实主义的基本特征来评价现阶段更具现实倾向的优秀文学作品。对犹太作家菲利普·罗斯的后期作品《美国牧歌》进行新现实主义解读，就是这样一种尝试。从新现实主义角度阅读分析小说的民族主题、人物形象以及艺术特征可以使《美国牧歌》得到更公允的评价，与此同时，这样的解读也有助于深化读者对新现实主义的理解。
[Abstract]:Philip Ross is one of the most important Jewish writers in contemporary America. He has exerted a profound and significant influence on American literature. American Shepherd is one of the American trilogy, and it is also the fifth novel of Nathan Zuckerman series. It earned Ross the Pulitzer Prize in 1998. Some critics regard it as the most thoughtful of all their works. This paper analyzes Philip Ross's American Pastoral songs from the perspective of neo-realism. The novel is mainly about the life history of four generations of Jews in the United States. In different social backgrounds, their understanding of the society at that time is different. Between family and mainstream culture, they face double contradictions and puzzles. This paper interprets American Pastoral songs from the perspective of neo-realism, which is divided into three chapters. The first chapter discusses the national theme of neo-realism reflected in American Shepherd. From the ethnic generation gap, the betrayal of family feelings and alienation of human nature and other aspects to be analyzed. The second chapter analyzes the typical characters in the novel of New realism embodied in American Shepherd. By subtly describing the tragedy of the characters, the loss of morality, and the typical characters in the historical context, Ross reflects the psychological impact that contemporary Jews face in the melting pot of American culture. And the plight of the alien people in the gap. The third chapter mainly discusses the artistic characteristics of the novel. "American Shepherd" absorbs the artistic characteristics of post-modernism literature creation, and at the same time, draws lessons from the artistic expression of mythological reconstruction in modernism literature works, and reconstructs the Garden of Eden. The Noumenon meaning of human existence is explored from the unique history and mythological tradition of the Jewish nation. The conclusion points out that the definition of neo-realism in American literary circles is not very clear at present, but it does not affect us to use the basic characteristics of neo-realism to evaluate the outstanding literary works with more realistic tendency at the present stage. A neo-realistic interpretation of the Jewish writer Philip Ross's later work, American Shepherd, is such an attempt. Reading and analyzing the national theme, characters and artistic features of the novel from the perspective of neo-realism can make the American Shepherd get a more fair evaluation. At the same time, such interpretation will also help to deepen the readers' understanding of neo-realism.
