【摘要】：保罗·奥斯特是当今美国文坛久负盛名的作家。作为一位后现代主义作家,奥斯特在他的作品中大量展示了实验主义的后现代写作手法。这种风格也在本文所要讨论的文本《密室中的旅行》中得到完美体现。作为一部元小说,《密室中的旅行》融合了多种元小说叙事技巧,包括嵌套叙事结构、作者闯入、戏仿传统侦探小说模式和跨界角色的运用。通过这些叙事技巧,奥斯特在该小说中表达了他对文本、现实和身份的不确定性的探索。这篇论文分为五个部分。第一章是本文的引入部分。在该章节中对作者保罗·奥斯特和文本《密室中的旅行》进行了相关介绍,对过去关于这部小说的文献进行综述,也提出了这篇论文的中心观点和研究问题。第二章是理论介绍部分。该章对元小说的定义进行了归纳和总结,并介绍了相关的元小说叙事策略。元小说的基本原则就是框架的不断建立和不断打破。广义的叙事策略主要包括露迹和戏仿。第三章是对《密室中的旅行》中的具体元小说叙事手法进行详细的分析。首先,中国套盒式结构的运用将小说分成了三个叙事空间,角色在空间内的任意穿梭颠覆了读者对真实的认知;其次,叙事者不断对叙事过程进行干扰和任意评论,这暴露了小说的创作过程及其虚构性;再次,对传统侦探小说的戏仿,从侦探、破案过程和结果等三个方面,颠覆了传统侦探模式,使读者期待不断受挫;最后,奥斯特将他之前小说中的人物聚集到这部作品中,用跨界的方式说明在后现代社会中普遍存在的身份认同障碍。第四章从两个方面对小说的主题意义进行阐释。一是虚构和现实的模糊界限;一是身份的认同障碍以及自我缺失。这些都反映了作者对文本、现实和身份的不确定性的思考和探索。第五章是论文的结论部分,对本文的观点进行了重申。奥斯特将各种元小说因素成功融入《密室中的旅行》,传达出他对后现代文本、现实和身份的不确定性的思考。
[Abstract]:Paul Oster is a famous writer in American literary circles. As a post-modernist writer, Oster showed a lot of experimentalism in his works. This style is also perfectly reflected in the text, Travel in the Chamber of Secrets, discussed in this article. As a metafiction, "Travel in the Chamber of Secrets" combines a variety of narrative techniques, including nested narrative structure, author's intrusion, parody of the traditional detective novel model and the use of transborder characters. Through these narrative techniques, Oster expresses his exploration of the uncertainty of text, reality and identity in the novel. The paper is divided into five parts. The first chapter is the introduction part of this paper. In this chapter, the author Paul Oster and the text "Travel in the Chamber of Secrets" are introduced. The literature on this novel is summarized, and the central point of view and research questions of this paper are also put forward. The second chapter is the theoretical introduction. This chapter summarizes the definition of metafiction and introduces the narrative strategies of metafiction. The basic principle of metafiction is the continuous establishment and breaking of the frame. The broad narrative strategy mainly includes revealing and parody. The third chapter is a detailed analysis of the narrative techniques of metafiction in Travel in Chamber of Secrets. First of all, the use of Chinese box structure divides the novel into three narrative spaces, and the character's arbitrary shuttle in the space subverts the reader's cognition of reality; secondly, the narrator constantly interferes with the narrative process and comments arbitrarily. This exposes the process of fiction and its hypocrisy. Thirdly, the parody of the traditional detective novel subverts the traditional detective model from three aspects: detective, case solving process and result. Oster gathers the characters of his previous novels in this work to illustrate the barriers of identity in postmodern society in a cross-border way. Chapter four explains the theme of the novel from two aspects. One is the vague boundary between fiction and reality, the other is identity barrier and self-deficiency. All these reflect the author's reflection and exploration on the uncertainty of text, reality and identity. The fifth chapter is the conclusion of the paper, the point of view is reiterated. Oster successfully integrates various elements of metafiction into "Travel in the Chamber of Secrets", which conveys his thoughts on the uncertainty of postmodern texts, reality and identity.
