【摘要】:《末世之城》常被划入敌托邦科幻小说的范畴,但实际上,它的目的不在于描画人类未来的阴郁前景,而是透过历史苦难的碎片聚焦底层群体的生存困境。它揭示底层空间具有隔离性、暴力性、易变性和贫困化等异质特征。这些特征不仅影响了人们的生存经验、主体构建和语言再现,也在群体和空间之间建立起符号化的互为表征关系,为权力放逐、压迫他们提供合理的借口。不过,底层空间也蕴含着隐蔽的革命性维度。小说里,女主人公的书信和叙事策略构成空间政治的反拨之道,它们在还原底层生活、修复集体性被迫失语的同时,也彰显了艺术和人性的救赎力量。

It reveals that the underlying space has the heterogeneity of isolation, violence, variability and impoverishment. These characteristics not only affect people's survival experience, subject construction and language reproduction, but also establish symbolic mutual representations between groups and spaces, providing reasonable excuse for power exile and oppression. However, the underlying space also contains a hidden revolutionary dimension. In the novel, the heroines' letters and narrative strategies constitute the backwash way of space politics. They also restore the redemption force of art and humanity, while restoring the bottom life and restoring collective forced aphasia.
