历史进程理论：爱，责任和宽恕的重新确立——对托尼·库什勒的剧作《天使在美国》的互文性研究

发布时间：2024-12-15 21:49

　　本论文应用文本互文性及相关理论对美国当代剧作家托尼·库什勒的剧作《天使在美国》中与圣经，历史及其他文学作品的“交织”现象作了深入的分析和探索。通过对互文的分析，本文旨在解释库什勒关于道德问题和历史进程关系间的思考。他认为例如，爱，责任和宽恕，这些道德价值观念是蕴含且超越任意文本，重新肯定和确认这些价值观念在美国现代社会中的地位是推动历史进步的真正动力。 本论文共分为四个章节。第一章是文献综述。这一部分我总结了前人对这部剧作的研究，且回顾了文本互文性的理论发展历程。整篇论文的理论框架建立在巴赫金的对话理论和克里斯蒂娃在此基础上发展的互文性理论。在第二章中，我分析了剧作与圣经文本间的互相交织。第三章集中研究剧作与历史文本间的关系。第四章的重点在剧作与西方文学作品的关系。 在美国以及西方现代社会面临精神和道德危机的时候，库什勒提出对传统观念的回归和重新确立。这种肯定的态度是对当前所倡导的后现代性的颠覆和怀疑一切的一种强烈冲击。这种重新审视传统的态度对文化发展趋势有着积极的影响。
