本文选题：重述神话　切入点：《重量》　出处：《山西师范大学》2015年硕士论文

【摘要】：简妮特·温特森是英国当代最具才情的女作家之一，她个性独立张扬，，敢于反叛世俗权威。她的作品多以巧妙运用后现代的叙事手法和精妙的语言著称，曾获得惠特布莱德奖、布鲁姆伯利奖、美国诺普夫等重要奖项。2005年，她应邀参加了英国坎农格特出版社发起的重述神话项目，将阿特拉斯背负苍天的故事与人类登月、“和平号”空间站升空等具有划时代意义的现代科学事件相互融合，凝聚成一部全新的作品——《重量》，一个弥漫着神秘色彩的远古神话因此打上了当今时代的烙印。本文试图从存在主义的角度探寻作品对人的存在、自由和选择的观点，挖掘作品中体现的思想寓意和人生哲理。本文共分为五个部分：第一部分绪论主要介绍重述神话项目的起源和简妮特·温特森及其《重量》的研究现状；第二部分结合萨特的五种处境方式：我的位置、我的过去、我的周围、我的邻人和我的死亡来逐一探讨《重量》中人物存在的处境问题，从而揭示自由与处境的关系；第三部分重点论述了小说表现在外部世界和人物人生方面的荒诞，以及人物在面对荒诞时作出的不同回应；第四部分重点论述《重量》中人物的自由选择，探讨了人物在绝望境地中的选择和超越自我的选择。第五部分重点论述了重述背天神话的当代意义——自我选择的必然性和承担责任的绝对性。《重量》中作者最终给出的结论是人要进行自我创造，正如作者本人一直坚持的不在乎世人的眼光始终做真正的自己，这也和存在主义的观点不谋而合，人要不屈服于命运，无论遇到的是怎样的世界，都要勇敢面对并勇于承担。
[Abstract]:Jeanette Winterson is one of the most talented women writers in Britain.Most of her works are known for their ingenious use of postmodern narrative techniques and sophisticated language. She has won important awards such as the Whitford Award, the Broombury Prize, the Noopf Award, and so on.She was invited to participate in the mythology restatement project, launched by Canongate Press in the UK, to integrate the story of Atlas carrying the sky with epoch-making modern scientific events such as the human landing on the moon and the launch of the Mir space station.Condensed into a new work-weight, a mysterious ancient myth has been branded by the times.This paper attempts to explore the existence, freedom and choice of human beings from the perspective of existentialism, and excavate the ideological implication and philosophy of life embodied in the works.This paper is divided into five parts: the first part introduces the origin of the mythology project and the research status of Janet Winterson and his weight. The second part combines the five situations of Sartre: my position, my past.Around me, my neighbors and my death discuss the situation of the characters in weight one by one, thus revealing the relationship between freedom and situation. The third part focuses on the absurdity of the novel in the outside world and in the life of the characters.The fourth part focuses on the free choice of characters in weight, discusses the choice of characters in the desperate situation and the choice of transcending oneself.The fifth part focuses on the restatement of the contemporary significance of the myth of the back of heaven-the inevitability of self-selection and the absoluteness of responsibility.The author's final conclusion in weight is that man should create himself, just as the author himself insists on not caring about the eyes of the world and always being the true self, which coincides with the existentialist view that man should not yield to his destiny.No matter what kind of world we meet, we must face it bravely and bear it.
