科馬克·麥卡錫的長篇小說《血色子午線》以其對(duì)人性道德殘酷的冷漠態(tài)度,成為美國20世紀(jì)反人類中心主義文學(xué)的領(lǐng)銜之作。敘述者用怪異可怖的冷靜口吻講述一個(gè)血腥彌漫的故事,并以鎮(zhèn)定自如的諷刺加持,直接與人的死亡進(jìn)行對(duì)峙,拒絕給故事本身和讀者留下任何希冀。小說將人類主體的形象急劇矮化,使其淪為一種短暫的,偶然的,臨時(shí)的,無效的和荒唐的現(xiàn)象,該手法與自啟蒙運(yùn)動(dòng)以來對(duì)人類主體這一構(gòu)建性概念發(fā)起最猛烈攻擊的后現(xiàn)代主義思潮產(chǎn)生激情共鳴。本文探究了小說對(duì)人類中心性這一偽概念的殘酷鞭撻,力圖構(gòu)建使小說人物深受其害的自我主義與當(dāng)代美國種族分裂痼疾和持續(xù)的海外干預(yù)行為之間的聯(lián)系。同時(shí),本文也在更廣泛的層面試圖破譯小說對(duì)整個(gè)自我膨脹的人類主體用科技武裝役使自然的企圖發(fā)出的警示信號(hào)。本文揭示了麥卡錫用以拆解圍繞著人類主體影響力和持續(xù)性的種種虛構(gòu)話語的多樣化創(chuàng)作手段。習(xí)慣了擁有控制力,敏感性和主動(dòng)權(quán)的傳統(tǒng)全知敘述主體的讀者,不得不和小說中對(duì)敘述任務(wù)毫無興趣的敘述者妥協(xié),接受缺乏信息性,組織性和深刻性的敘述。同時(shí),渴望文本知情權(quán)和把控力的讀者主體也因其將文本主題化的無效嘗試而受到不事交流的敘述者的持續(xù)嘲諷。小說人物的身...
