摘要
本文主要以亨利·列斐伏尔和爱德华·索亚的空间理论以及卡尔·雅斯贝尔斯的悲剧超越思想为视角解读弗兰纳里·奥康纳短篇小说的悲剧主题。本文将奥康纳短篇小说中的空间划分如下:第一空间即故事中的物理空间;第二空间即故事中的精神空间,包括社会的整体精神空间和个人的精神空间;第三空间即故事中通过第一空间和第二空间的融合产生的新空间。本文认为奥康纳在其短篇小说中通过营造第一空间的空旷感展示罪恶的隐蔽性和悲剧的普遍性;通过塑造第二空间的压迫感表现故事中怪诞的社会现状和紧张的人际关系;通过第一空间和第二空间的融合创造第三空间的悲剧意识实现其悲剧超越的主题。
This paper studies the tragedy theme in Flannery O’Connor’s short stories mainly through the space theory of Henri Lefebvre and Edward Soja and tragedy transcendence thought of Karl Jaspers.This paper differentiates the space in O’Connor’s short stories into the following three:the first space refering to the physical space in the short stories,the second space refering to the spiritual space of the whole society and individual characters in the stories,the third space refering to the new space created through the merging of the first and second space.This paper argues that O’Connor uncovers the hiddenness of evil and universality of tragedy through the openness of physical space,demonstrates the grotesque social background and tension in the relationship between characters through the collapse of spiritual space,and realizes the tragedy transcendence theme within the production of tragedy sense in the third space through the merging of first space and second space.
