摘要
当代美国作家亚当·约翰逊在其获奖小说集《好运在微笑》中,以六个不同的创伤故事谱写了蔓延全球的生存危机以及人们为恢复生活信心与尊严所作的努力。小说集的创伤书写呈现出明显的空间维度。本文运用佐伦的叙事空间理论,从地形学、时空体和文本三个层次探讨空间在小说集创伤书写方面的作用:地形学空间隐喻和展演了人物的创伤体验,时空体空间突出了治疗行动的轨迹与结果;而文本语言选择、线性时序和视角结构则进一步将小说主题呈现于后"9·11"时代集体创伤的宏大背景之中,亦提升了创伤书写的审美价值。
In six individual stories of trauma, Adam Johnson＇s prize-winning short story collection Fortune Smiles portrays the survival crisis in contemporary society as well as the efforts people make to rebuild confidence and dignity in a global context. Adopting Gabriel Zoran＇s model of narrative spaces as theoretical framework, this paper first analyzes topographical structures in the stories as metaphors of trauma, and then examines the effects of chronotropic structures in representing the healing process. The paper further explores the textual structures in the book, namely, the selectivity of language, the linearity of the text and the perspectival structure as effective techniques in highlighting collective trauma in the post 9/11 era and elevating the aesthetic values of the trauma narrative.
