【摘要】：作为活着的文学神话,罗斯是一个多产的作家并几乎包揽了所有的文学奖项。他的作品《反美阴谋》出版于2004年,正值美国总统大选、9·11事件余波未平之时,小说引起了人们的巨大关注和无尽联想。该小说被《纽约时报》评为2004年度十佳作品之一。本文试图从新历史主义的角度分析《反美阴谋》。第一章引言部分介绍国内外的罗斯研究及对其作品《反美阴谋》的研究,指出国内对其作品的研究开始转向关注作品的社会文化意义。另一方面,对罗斯及其作品的研究仍然是国外学术界的一大热点。第二章通过两方面分析罗斯的历史观。首先,介绍罗斯的三部历史小说即美国三部曲,指出罗斯在这三部小说中彰显的历史观。其次,从三方面说明运用新历史主义理论分析《反美阴谋》是切实可行的：第一,简略陈述新旧历史主义历史观的不同；第二,对《反美阴谋》作为一个虚构的历史文本进行讨论；第三,论述该小说是罗斯作为新历史主义实践者的成果。根据以上分析,发现罗斯的历史观与新历史主义历史观具有相似性。第三章运用新历史主义理论分析《反美阴谋》。首先,简略陈述该理论的理论渊源,特征及其五个假设,再通过蒙特洛斯提出的“历史的文本性”和“文本的历史性”具体分析小说。运用历史的文本性,通过分析作品中的主要人物菲利普、赫尔曼、桑迪、犹太拉比和伊芙琳构建起罗斯的小历史与小说的历史框架。运用文本的历史性,把罗斯创作小说时的社会政治背景与小说创作结合起来,并提出小说创作很明显地受到当时社会政治环境的深刻影响,这包括美国社会存在的种族主义及9·11事件后布什政府侵害人权的法案及行为。第四章从新历史主义的视角分析《反美阴谋》中的修辞手法。首先把新历史主义替换成文化诗学以强调该理论对语言分析的重视,从而自然地引出小说中两个突出的修辞手法即暗喻和讽刺。第五章结语部分再次强调罗斯重要的文学地位,并说明《反美阴谋》在其创作阶段中所处的位置,最后指出小说的现实意义。
[Abstract]:As a living literary myth, Ross is a prolific writer and has won almost all literary awards. His work, "the plot against America", was published in 2004, at a time when the events of 9 / 11 in the United States presidential election were still unsettled, and the novel attracted great attention and endless association. The novel was named one of the top ten works of 2004 by the New York Times. This paper attempts to analyze the anti-American conspiracy from the perspective of new historicism. The first chapter introduces the domestic and foreign studies of Ross and his works "the plot against America", pointing out that the study of his works began to focus on the social and cultural significance of his works. On the other hand, the research on Ross and his works is still a hot spot in foreign academic circles. Chapter two analyzes Ross's view of history from two aspects. First of all, it introduces three historical novels of Ross, American trilogy, and points out the historical view that Ross shows in these three novels. Secondly, it shows from three aspects that it is feasible to use the new historicism theory to analyze the "conspiracy against America": first, to briefly state the difference between the old and the new historical views; second, This paper discusses the anti-American plot as a fictional historical text. Thirdly, it discusses that the novel is the achievement of Ross as a new historicist practitioner. According to the above analysis, it is found that Ross's view of history is similar to that of new historicism. The third chapter uses the new historicism theory to analyze the anti-American conspiracy. First of all, the theoretical origin, characteristics and five hypotheses of the theory are briefly stated, and then the text of history and the history of text are analyzed concretely through the works of Montoulos. By analyzing the main characters in his works, Philip, Herman, Sandy, Jewish rabbi and Evelyn, the historical framework of Roth's small history and novel is constructed by using the textual nature of history. Using the historical nature of the text, this paper combines the social and political background of Ross's novels with the novel creation, and points out that the novel creation is obviously influenced by the social and political environment at that time. This includes racism in American society and the Bush administration's human rights violations after 9 / 11. The fourth chapter analyzes the rhetoric in the anti-American conspiracy from the perspective of New historicism. First, the new historicism is replaced by cultural poetics to emphasize the emphasis of the theory on language analysis, thus naturally leading to two prominent rhetorical devices in the novel, metaphor and satire. The conclusion of the fifth chapter emphasizes the important literary status of Ross again, and explains the position of "the plot against America" in the stage of his creation. Finally, it points out the realistic significance of the novel.
