【摘要】：简·斯迈利是美国当代最具创新性和最多产的女性作家之一。1991年斯迈利出版了代表作《一千英亩》,并在1992年先后获得了普利策奖和美国国家图书奖。小说一出版就受到了广泛的关注,众多学者纷纷从多种角度对其进行解读。该小说描写了美国20世纪80年代里根执政期间爱荷华州农场危机中的中西部农业生活。故事讲述了在父亲决定把一千英亩土地分给三个女儿以后发生的一系列事件。根据小说的因果发展脉络,土地在不同的阶段体现了不同的含义。因此,该论文可以分为三个部分。第一章主要介绍农民们痴迷于土地不仅仅是因为土地可以满足生存需求。土地的数量和质量影响一个农民的社会地位、颜面和权力。同时,就像美国梦许诺的那样,农民通过辛勤的劳动可以创造富裕、美好和充实的生活。地位、权利、颜面和对美国梦的追求已经成为农民追求土地的内部动机。小说中的土地见证了农民如何扩充土地,提高社会地位、做一名合格的农民以及实现美国梦。第二章论证土地的所有权映射了权力关系。男性优先获得土地的所有权来获得掌控权。资本主义典型的劳动分工原则和生产资料所有权的丧失使得女性处于从属地位。父权主义视女性为男性的附属品。因此,在父权主义和资本主义的双重影响下,女性和土地成为被占有的对象。第三章从农业文明、家庭和个人三个维度出发阐释这场疯狂的追求引发的悲剧。农民用化学肥料、农药等来提高生产率,因此,环境不断地恶化；农民也自食恶果。土地严重扭曲了人际关系,导致了农业文明的悲剧,家庭的危机和个人持久的创伤。土地已经完全参与了人类社会的运行。土地的多重意义解读可以使得读者对于土地效用发挥的过程变得更加清晰。与此同时,对于土地的多重意义的解读可以帮助读者更好的理解小说,同时为以后的研究提供一个新的视角和探索方向。
[Abstract]:Jane Smiley is one of the most innovative and prolific female writers in contemporary America. In 1991, Smiley published his masterpiece, 1,000 acres, and won the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award in 1992. As soon as the novel was published, many scholars interpreted it from various angles. The novel depicts agricultural life in the Midwest during the Iowa Farm crisis during Reagan's reign in the 1980 s. The story tells the story of a series of events that followed the father's decision to distribute a thousand acres to his three daughters. According to the causal development of the novel, land embodies different meanings at different stages. Therefore, the paper can be divided into three parts. The first chapter mainly introduces that farmers are obsessed with land not only because land can meet the survival needs. The quantity and quality of land affect a farmer's social status, face and power. At the same time, as promised by the American Dream, farmers can create a rich, beautiful and fulfilling life through hard work. Status, rights, face, and the pursuit of the American Dream have become an internal motivation for farmers to pursue land. The land in the novel shows how farmers expand their land, improve their social status, become a qualified farmer and realize the American dream. The second chapter demonstrates that the ownership of land reflects the power relationship. Men give priority to ownership of the land to gain control. The typical division of labor principle of capitalism and the loss of ownership of means of production make women in subordinate position. Patriarchalism regards women as accessories to men. Therefore, under the dual influence of patriarchy and capitalism, women and land become the objects of occupation. Chapter three explains the tragedy caused by this crazy pursuit from three dimensions of agricultural civilization, family and individual. Farmers use chemical fertilizers, pesticides, etc. to increase productivity, so the environment continues to deteriorate; farmers also eat their own bad effects. Land severely distorts human relations, leading to the tragedy of agricultural civilization, family crisis and lasting personal trauma. Land has been fully involved in the operation of human society. The interpretation of multiple meanings of land can make the process of exerting land utility more clear to readers. At the same time, the interpretation of the multiple meaning of land can help readers to better understand the novel, while providing a new perspective and exploration direction for future research.
