发布时间：2018-10-24 07:40
【摘要】：弗兰纳里·奥康纳是美国著名的南方女作家,被誉为“20世纪美国最优秀的小说家之一”。她的美国南方作家、女性、虔诚的天主教徒、红斑狼疮患者等多重身份造成了其作品内涵的复杂性和丰富性。国内外许多研究者对她的小说进行过多角度、多层面的阐释,本文以现有成果为参照,将奥康纳置于美国南方文化语境,在梳理其宗教思想的基础上,分析她小说中的受难主题和叙事,探讨暴力、受难与救赎的关系。论文包括绪论、正文和结语三个部分。绪论部分,首先介绍奥康纳的生平和创作概况,回顾国内外的研究现状,指出其中有待深入研究的地方。其次分析奥康纳宗教信仰的形成和小说叙事的宗教性,阐明奥康纳作为一位虔诚的天主教徒,如何将她的信仰投射在文学创作中。正文包括四章。第一章为“奥康纳受难意识的形成”。奥康纳受难意识的形成基于两个方面,一是美国南方神话的解体,南方传统社会和淑女神话的没落给传统南方人带来重创,身在其中的奥康纳同样体验到失落带来的创伤。二是奥康纳的个人经历和身体病痛,奥康纳终身未嫁,二十五岁时便患上红斑狼疮,这使得她对受难问题尤为敏感。受难对于奥康纳来说不只是客观的存在事实,她还从宗教信仰视角审视并接纳它。第二章为“奥康纳笔下的南方世界图景”。在奥康纳的小说中,南方濒临分崩离析,人们失去信仰、堕入庸常的存在而不自知,身负罪孽却浑然不觉,其中理性至上的知识分子、种族主义者、伪信徒最为典型。通过描写南方各式人物的生存,奥康纳揭示了人的受难的普遍性。这种受难既包括肉身存在的苦难,也包括精神无所归依的煎熬。第三章为“暴力、受难与救赎”。研究者认为,暴力“是奥康纳为现代人选择的通过身体苦痛体验恩宠的独特图景”,某种程度上这是一种误读。奥康纳的小说呈现了一个充斥着暴力的世界,这里既有可见的身体施暴,也有不可见的精神施暴,通过书写暴力,奥康纳彰显了人性中难以祛除的邪恶。虽然如此,暴力客观上却中止了人庸常的生存,将人推入受难的境遇。在受难的状态,人才意识到存在的荒诞,期待获得拯救。第四章为“受难的宗教叙事”。对受难的敏感体察与切身体验形成了奥康纳独特的小说叙事艺术。其中,信仰叙述视角与理性叙述视角彼此对立、相互补充,彰显了人自身完整性的分裂,自然空间与城市空间的对峙隐喻了人的存在的异化,而追寻的叙事结构昭示的则是人在受难中追索救赎的苦旅。结语总结上述内容,并阐明奥康纳对受难的书写以及对受难中潜藏的救赎可能性的发掘给予当代人的启示。
[Abstract]:Flannery O'Connor is one of the best novelists in America in the 20 ~ (th) century. Her southern American writers, women, devout Catholics, lupus sufferers and other multiple identities contribute to the complexity and richness of her works. Many researchers at home and abroad interpret her novels from many angles and at various levels. This paper, referring to the existing achievements, puts O'Connor in the cultural context of the southern United States and combs her religious thoughts. This paper analyzes the theme and narrative of suffering in her novels, and explores the relationship between violence, suffering and redemption. The thesis includes three parts: introduction, text and conclusion. Introduction, first introduces O'Connor 's life and creation, reviews the research situation at home and abroad, and points out the places to be further studied. Secondly, it analyzes the formation of O'Connor 's religious belief and the religious nature of the narrative of the novel, and expounds how O'Connor, as a devout Catholic, projects her belief in literary creation. The text consists of four chapters. The first chapter is the formation of O'Connor 's consciousness of suffering. The formation of O'Connor 's consciousness of crucifixion is based on two aspects. One is the disintegration of American Southern mythology. The decline of Southern traditional society and the myth of lady brings a heavy blow to the traditional southerners. O'Connor, who is in it, also experiences the trauma caused by loss. Second, O'Connor 's personal experience and physical pain, O'Connor never married, 25 years old with lupus erythematosus, which makes her particularly sensitive to suffering. Suffering is not only an objective fact of existence for O'Connor, she also looks at it from the perspective of religious belief and accepts it. The second chapter is O'Connor 's Southern World Picture. In O'Connor 's novels, the South is on the verge of disintegration, people lose faith, fall into the ordinary existence without knowing, but not aware of sin, among which the intellectual, racist and pseudo-believer are the most typical. O'Connor reveals the universality of human suffering by describing the existence of various Southern characters. Such suffering includes both the suffering of the physical body and the suffering of the spirit. The third chapter is violence, suffering and redemption. The researchers believe that violence "is O'Connor 's unique picture of experiencing grace through physical pain for modern people," in a way misread. O'Connor 's novels present a world full of violence, where there are visible physical violence and invisible mental violence. By writing violence, O'Connor reveals the inexorable evil in human nature. In spite of this, violence has objectively halted the ordinary existence of human beings and pushed them into the situation of suffering. In the state of suffering, man realizes the absurdity of existence and expects to be saved. The fourth chapter is the religious narration of suffering. O'Connor 's unique narrative art is formed by his sensitive experience of suffering. Among them, the perspective of faith narration and rational narration are opposite and complement each other, which reveals the division of human own integrity, and the confrontation between natural space and urban space metaphors the alienation of human existence. The narrative structure of pursuit is the bitter journey of people seeking redemption in suffering. The conclusion summarizes the above contents and clarifies that O'Connor 's writing of the suffering and the exploration of the hidden possibility of redemption in the crucifixion will enlighten the contemporary people.
