詹姆斯·艾倫·麥克弗森（James Alan McPherson,1943—）是當(dāng)代美國最優(yōu)秀的黑人短篇小說作家之一。他曾憑一部短篇小說集《活動(dòng)空間》獲得1979年的普利策文學(xué)獎(jiǎng),從而成為美國歷史上第一位獲得此獎(jiǎng)項(xiàng)的短篇小說家。在此之前,他的另一篇短篇小說《黃金海岸》曾獲《大西洋月刊》舉辦的短篇小說大賽一等獎(jiǎng)�！饵S金海岸》無疑是麥克弗森最優(yōu)秀的作品之一,一經(jīng)出版就得到了文學(xué)界、評(píng)論界的廣泛關(guān)注。小說通過一個(gè)年輕黑人的看門人經(jīng)歷,描寫了住在一座名叫黃金海岸的大樓里各色各樣的人物。盡管這些住戶來自不同的國家,承載著不同的文化,卻都成為了主流白人文化的他者,都被美國主流文化拋棄了。盡管沒有充分的證據(jù)證明麥克弗森在創(chuàng)作這篇小說的時(shí)候是以象征主義的視角寫作,但從象征主義的角度來分析小說,無疑會(huì)加深對(duì)小說作者思想的理解。實(shí)際上,小說細(xì)節(jié)中展現(xiàn)了相當(dāng)多的“象征”因素,象征主義成為一條暗線,將小數(shù)的主題推向一個(gè)新的視角。所以,要解讀《黃金海岸》的內(nèi)涵,象征主義應(yīng)該是一個(gè)恰當(dāng)?shù)那腥朦c(diǎn)。本文意欲從象征主義的角度,通過分析故事敘述者的看門人經(jīng)歷的象征意義、故事的發(fā)生地—大樓的象征意義、人物形象的象征意義以及...
