摘要
长久以来,麦卡勒斯的小说《金色眼睛的映像》被贴上了"南方哥特小说"的标签,作品的怪诞风格是批评的焦点,但以怪诞、哥特为关键词的文学评论往往忽视了作品中颠覆的本质。将文本的解读置于其特定的社会和历史背景中,小说从解构和建构两个方面颠覆了美国南方等级社会的主流意识形态。小说揭示了现代文明对传统的侵蚀,解构了"南方神话"的宏大叙事,而巴赫金的狂欢诗学为分析作品提供了新的视角。通过塑造小说中的狂欢形象,作者建构了一个神话幻灭之后的"真实南方"。在解构与建构之间,麦卡勒斯用作品见证了美国南方社会的嬗变。
Reflections in a Golden Eyehas beenlabeled as 'the Southern Gothic Novel' for along time ,and the censure on it focuses on its grotesque style.Such critical commentaries fail to expose the subversive nature of the novel.Set in its own social and historical background,this novel subverts the mainstreamideology of the Southern Americansociety by means of deconstruction and construction. Revealing the erosions by modern civilization,McCullers deconstructs the grand narrative of the Southern myth. Bakhtin's notion of carnivalization also offers a new perspective to interpret the novel. By creating carnivalesque charac-ters ,McCullers at the same time constructs a real South with the shattered myth. By both deconstruction and construction,McCullers records the changes of the Southern American society.
