摘要
从社会学家鲍德里亚的消费社会理论的角度解读索尔.贝娄的代表性小说《洪堡的礼物》,可以看出消费主义对小说中两位主人公洪堡与西特林私人生活和人际关系方面的深刻影响。通过对消费主义负面影响的描述,贝娄认为人应在消费文化面前保持宽容的心态和培养个人审美情趣。
Interpreting Humboldt’s Gift, a representative fiction written by Saul Bellow who is a winner of Nobel Prize in Literature and a famous contemporary American writer, from the perspective of the theory of consumer society proposed by social scientist Baudrillard, will reveal the deep influence that consumerism has on the two major characters, Humboldt and Citrine in terms of personal relationship and spiritual development. In describing the negative effects of consumerism, Bellow stresses that we should keep a tolerant mentality and cultivating one’s aesthetic interest in facing consumer culture.
