發(fā)布時間:2018-08-03 19:16
【摘要】:蘇珊·桑塔格以批評家、公共知識分子以及作家的多重身份活躍在20世紀的美國文壇,1966年因批評文集《反對闡釋》而名聲大噪。但是,其小說家的身份更加不容忽視。1963年桑塔格的第一部長篇小說《恩主》出版,得到紐約評論界泰斗漢娜·阿倫特的好評。1967年她的第二部長篇小說《死亡匣子》確立起她作為前衛(wèi)小說家的地位。桑塔格的小說家身份和批評家身份是緊密相連的,其小說是她文化思考和批評思想的產(chǎn)物。1992年桑塔格的第三部長篇小說《火山情人》出版,被稱為是現(xiàn)實主義的回歸之作。《火山情人》以18世紀法國大革命時期動蕩不安的歐洲局勢為背景,講述了英國駐那不勒斯大使?jié)h彌爾頓、他的第二任妻子,敿坝\娒麑⒓{爾遜三人之間錯綜復(fù)雜的愛情糾葛。在小說中,桑塔格描述了那不勒斯王國的衰敗,波旁王朝、哈布斯堡王朝、神圣羅馬帝國之間政治交涉,以及以英國為首的反法同盟力量的乖戾與囂張。 可以看出,《火山情人》是一部與歷史有關(guān)的小說。傳統(tǒng)的歷史主義批評家認為歷史是一種客觀存在,他們總是設(shè)法探討歷史事件形成的原因、過程和結(jié)果,并試圖再現(xiàn)作者的原意、世界觀和寫作時的文化背景,而新歷史主義強調(diào)歷史的非延續(xù)性和中斷性,否定歷史的烏托邦而堅持歷史的現(xiàn)實斗爭,拒斥歷史決定論而張揚主體的反抗顛覆論。在《火山情人》中,桑塔格對一段熟知的歷史進行了改編,把自己的美學(xué)思想融入小說的創(chuàng)作中去,即感受美,體會生活。同時,桑塔格將法國大革命這段歷史小說化,通過各類小說人物的視野向讀者展現(xiàn)多維的歷史。在關(guān)注歷史邊緣人物的同時,桑塔格也給讀者們提供了顛覆權(quán)利話語的新闡釋。本文將從新歷史主義視角,通過尋找歷史的碎片以及對邊緣人物的關(guān)懷,從桑塔格的多聲部敘事話語中,分析作者與歷史客體以及讀者之間的多層次的關(guān)系。在歷史文化與作者美學(xué)思想的契合處,解讀小說的藝術(shù)魅力。
[Abstract]:Susan Sontag is active in American literary circles in the 20th century as a critic, public intellectual and writer. In 1966, she became famous for her works of criticism against interpretation. But the identity of his novelist is even more important. In 1963, Sontag's first novel, the Grace, was published. Her second novel, the death Box, established her position as an avant-garde novelist in 1967. Sontag's identity as a novelist and a critic is closely linked, and her novels are the product of her cultural thinking and critical thinking. In 1992, Sontag's third novel, the Volcano Lover, was published. Described as a return to realism, the Volcano Lover tells the story of the British ambassador to Naples, Hamilton, against the backdrop of the tumultuous European situation during the French Revolution of the 18th century. His second wife, Emma, and the British navy, Nelson, have a tangled love affair. In the novel, Sontag describes the decline of the kingdom of Naples, the political negotiations between the Bourbons, the Hapsburg, and the Holy Roman Empire, as well as the surly and arrogance of the Anglo-led anti-French alliance. As you can see, Volcano Lover is a novel about history. Traditional historicist critics regard history as an objective existence. They always try to explore the causes, processes and results of historical events, and try to reproduce the author's original intention, world outlook and cultural background in writing. The new historicism emphasizes the non-continuity and interruption of history, negates the utopia of history and insists on the realistic struggle of history, rejects the historical determinism and propagandizes the subject's theory of resistance and subversion. In Lover of the Volcano, Santage adapts a well-known history and integrates his aesthetic thoughts into the creation of novels, that is, to feel beauty and experience life. At the same time, Santage turned the French Revolution into a historical novel, showing the readers multidimensional history through the vision of various novel characters. While paying attention to the historical marginal figures, Sontag also provides readers with a new interpretation of the discourse of subversive rights. From the perspective of New historicism, this paper analyzes the multi-level relationship between the author and the historical object as well as the reader from the perspective of New historicism, by looking for the fragments of history and caring for the marginal characters. In the combination of historical culture and the author's aesthetic thought, the author interprets the artistic charm of the novel.
