【摘要】:身為二十世紀(jì)最杰出的美國(guó)作家之一,埃德加·勞倫斯·(E.L.)多克托羅以其獨(dú)特的寫作風(fēng)格和嚴(yán)肅的小說(shuō)題材贏得聲譽(yù)。他善于運(yùn)用后現(xiàn)代寫作手法,將虛構(gòu)和真實(shí)的人物放置在特定的歷史背景中加以審視。這種歷史與想象結(jié)合的方式為當(dāng)代西方文學(xué)注入新鮮活力,便于讀者在作者虛構(gòu)的世界中看清現(xiàn)實(shí),同時(shí)也能對(duì)歷史有更深刻的理解!洞筮M(jìn)軍》這部作品于2005年出版,獲得美國(guó)全國(guó)書評(píng)人協(xié)會(huì)獎(jiǎng)(2005)和美國(guó)筆會(huì)/福克納獎(jiǎng)(2006)。小說(shuō)以聲勢(shì)浩大的美國(guó)南北戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)為背景,講述歷史人物威廉·特姆庫(kù)塞·謝爾曼將軍率領(lǐng)北方軍隊(duì),深入南方中心地帶解放奴隸的故事。在《大進(jìn)軍》中,多克托羅塑造了各種不同類型的人物,他們都是當(dāng)時(shí)社會(huì)的縮影,能充分反映人性,引發(fā)對(duì)戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)、死亡、種族、身份等社會(huì)問(wèn)題的思考。除了一些戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)中起主導(dǎo)作用的男性人物,小說(shuō)還描繪了很多讓讀者為之動(dòng)容的女性人物,例如混血兒珀?duì)、大法官的女兒埃米莉·湯普森和她的奴隸威爾瑪,以及種植園的女主人馬蒂,戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)徹底改變了她們?cè)镜纳钴壍。盡管經(jīng)歷著失去親人的苦痛、面對(duì)未來(lái)的困惑和愛情的失意,她們卻不得不承受戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)使生活變得千瘡百孔的結(jié)果,為了生存而堅(jiān)強(qiáng)地同一切困難作斗爭(zhēng);谂灾髁x的相關(guān)理論,特別是西蒙娜·德·波伏娃的《第二性》中的觀點(diǎn),通過(guò)文本細(xì)讀,本文旨在探索戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)中女性身份重建的過(guò)程,并分析她們不同的命運(yùn)指向。除緒論和結(jié)論部分,本文包含三章。第一章主要關(guān)注作品中女性人物如何變成南方沉默的他者,探究造成這種邊緣化現(xiàn)象的內(nèi)部和外部原因。通過(guò)上述四位女性人物的南方生活,說(shuō)明傳統(tǒng)社會(huì)觀念和女性自我無(wú)意識(shí)所塑造出的女性形象。第二章研究這四名典型的女性人物如何從一種沉默的狀態(tài)走向自我認(rèn)識(shí)的覺醒并重建自我身份。戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)使她們失去親人,遭遇愛情的挫折,陷入精神困境,同時(shí)也使她們?cè)诶Ь持凶龀霾煌x擇,學(xué)會(huì)獨(dú)立成長(zhǎng),重建自我意識(shí)和身份。第三章呈現(xiàn)這些女性人物不同的命運(yùn)指向,反映出作者對(duì)女性在男性主導(dǎo)社會(huì)中的生存困境的關(guān)懷。珀?duì)柡屯柆斶x擇不同的方式追求自由和獨(dú)立的生活,而埃米莉和馬蒂卻成了父權(quán)制的犧牲品。本文在結(jié)論中展現(xiàn)了多克托羅對(duì)邊緣人群和她們的身份焦慮的一種人文關(guān)懷,根據(jù)女性人物不同的命運(yùn)和小說(shuō)對(duì)內(nèi)戰(zhàn)的還原。通過(guò)重塑女性形象,多克托羅希望女性能找到一條追求真正自由的道路,實(shí)現(xiàn)兩性關(guān)系的和諧。
[Abstract]:As one of the greatest American writers of the twentieth century, E.L. Doctorow earned a reputation for his unique writing style and serious novel themes. He is good at using postmodern writing techniques to examine fictional and real characters in a specific historical background. This combination of history and imagination infuses new vitality into contemporary Western literature so that readers can see the reality in the author's fictional world and have a deeper understanding of history. Won the National Book reviewers Association Award (2005) and the pen / Faulkner Award (2006). Against the backdrop of the mighty American Civil War, the novel tells the story of the liberation of slaves by the historical figure, General William Tmkusse Sherman, who led the Northern Army into the heart of the South. In "the Great March", Doctorow created various types of characters, they were the epitome of the society at that time, which could fully reflect human nature and lead to the thinking of war, death, race, identity and other social problems. In addition to some of the men who played a leading role in the war, the novel depicts many female characters who make readers feel moved, such as Half-Blood Pearl, Justice's daughter Emily Thompson, and her slave Wilma. And Marty, the hostess of the plantation, the war completely changed the course of their lives. Despite the pain of bereavement, the confusion of the future and the frustration of love, they had to bear the consequences of the war that had made life so full of holes that they fought strongly against all difficulties in order to survive. Based on the theories of feminism, especially those in Simone de Bovova's second Sex, this paper aims to explore the process of women's identity reconstruction in the war and analyze their different destiny through careful reading of the text. In addition to the introduction and conclusion, this paper contains three chapters. The first chapter focuses on how the female characters in the works become the silent other in the South and explore the internal and external causes of the marginalization. Through the southern life of the four female characters mentioned above, the traditional social concept and female self-unconscious portray the female image. The second chapter studies how the four typical female characters move from a state of silence to the awakening of self-cognition and the reconstruction of self-identity. The war makes them lose loved ones, encounter the setback of love, fall into spiritual predicament, and make them make different choices in the dilemma, learn to grow independently, and rebuild their self-consciousness and identity. The third chapter presents the different fate of these female characters, reflecting the author's concern for the plight of women in the male-dominated society. Pearl and Wilma chose different ways to pursue a free and independent life, while Emily and Marty fell victim to patriarchy. In the conclusion, this paper shows Doctorow's humanistic concern for the marginal people and their identity anxiety, according to the different fate of the female characters and the restoration of the civil war in the novel. By reshaping the image of women, Doctorow hopes that women will find a way to pursue true freedom and achieve a harmonious relationship between men and women.
