【摘要】：苏珊·桑塔格以批评家、公共知识分子以及作家的多重身份活跃在20世纪的美国文坛,1966年因批评文集《反对阐释》而名声大噪。但是,其小说家的身份更加不容忽视。1963年桑塔格的第一部长篇小说《恩主》出版,得到纽约评论界泰斗汉娜·阿伦特的好评。1967年她的第二部长篇小说《死亡匣子》确立起她作为前卫小说家的地位。桑塔格的小说家身份和批评家身份是紧密相连的,其小说是她文化思考和批评思想的产物。1992年桑塔格的第三部长篇小说《火山情人》出版,被称为是现实主义的回归之作。《火山情人》以18世纪法国大革命时期动荡不安的欧洲局势为背景,讲述了英国驻那不勒斯大使汉弥尔顿、他的第二任妻子埃玛及英国海军名将纳尔逊三人之间错综复杂的爱情纠葛。在小说中,桑塔格描述了那不勒斯王国的衰败,波旁王朝、哈布斯堡王朝、神圣罗马帝国之间政治交涉,以及以英国为首的反法同盟力量的乖戾与嚣张。 可以看出,《火山情人》是一部与历史有关的小说。传统的历史主义批评家认为历史是一种客观存在,他们总是设法探讨历史事件形成的原因、过程和结果,并试图再现作者的原意、世界观和写作时的文化背景,而新历史主义强调历史的非延续性和中断性,否定历史的乌托邦而坚持历史的现实斗争,拒斥历史决定论而张扬主体的反抗颠覆论。在《火山情人》中,桑塔格对一段熟知的历史进行了改编,把自己的美学思想融入小说的创作中去,即感受美,体会生活。同时,桑塔格将法国大革命这段历史小说化,通过各类小说人物的视野向读者展现多维的历史。在关注历史边缘人物的同时,桑塔格也给读者们提供了颠覆权利话语的新阐释。本文将从新历史主义视角,通过寻找历史的碎片以及对边缘人物的关怀,从桑塔格的多声部叙事话语中,分析作者与历史客体以及读者之间的多层次的关系。在历史文化与作者美学思想的契合处,解读小说的艺术魅力。
[Abstract]:Susan Sontag is active in American literary circles in the 20th century as a critic, public intellectual and writer. In 1966, she became famous for her works of criticism against interpretation. But the identity of his novelist is even more important. In 1963, Sontag's first novel, the Grace, was published. Her second novel, the death Box, established her position as an avant-garde novelist in 1967. Sontag's identity as a novelist and a critic is closely linked, and her novels are the product of her cultural thinking and critical thinking. In 1992, Sontag's third novel, the Volcano Lover, was published. Described as a return to realism, the Volcano Lover tells the story of the British ambassador to Naples, Hamilton, against the backdrop of the tumultuous European situation during the French Revolution of the 18th century. His second wife, Emma, and the British navy, Nelson, have a tangled love affair. In the novel, Sontag describes the decline of the kingdom of Naples, the political negotiations between the Bourbons, the Hapsburg, and the Holy Roman Empire, as well as the surly and arrogance of the Anglo-led anti-French alliance. As you can see, Volcano Lover is a novel about history. Traditional historicist critics regard history as an objective existence. They always try to explore the causes, processes and results of historical events, and try to reproduce the author's original intention, world outlook and cultural background in writing. The new historicism emphasizes the non-continuity and interruption of history, negates the utopia of history and insists on the realistic struggle of history, rejects the historical determinism and propagandizes the subject's theory of resistance and subversion. In Lover of the Volcano, Santage adapts a well-known history and integrates his aesthetic thoughts into the creation of novels, that is, to feel beauty and experience life. At the same time, Santage turned the French Revolution into a historical novel, showing the readers multidimensional history through the vision of various novel characters. While paying attention to the historical marginal figures, Sontag also provides readers with a new interpretation of the discourse of subversive rights. From the perspective of New historicism, this paper analyzes the multi-level relationship between the author and the historical object as well as the reader from the perspective of New historicism, by looking for the fragments of history and caring for the marginal characters. In the combination of historical culture and the author's aesthetic thought, the author interprets the artistic charm of the novel.
