摘要
美国后现代代表作家托马斯.品钦的小说继承了文学传统中的追寻叙事模式,并对该模式进行了大胆创新,为其拓展了更为广阔的空间。“意义”不再是品钦小说中人物追寻的终极目标,面对一个失去终极意义的世界,追寻的过程更加重要。一方面,追寻是人体验生命,对抗异化的生存方式;另一方面,追寻也为各种被边缘化了的社会群体提供了一个流动和开放的空间,使他们有机会舒展备受压抑的人性。其结果是消解了森严的等级制度,奏响了狂欢的乐章。
The Postmodernist fiction of Thomas Pynchon carries on the traditional literary motif of quest, but goes beyond the quest for ＂meaning＂ and thus extends the scope of the motif. In a world without the ultimate meaning, the process of quest becomes more important. On the one hand, quest is a way to experience life and to resist alienation. On the other hand, quest provides the marginalized social groups with a dynamic and open space, in which they can be relieved of oppression. The social hierarchical system is disintegrated and the symphony of carnival played.
