摘要
《天秤星座》是美国当代作家唐·德里罗以肯尼迪总统遇刺为题材创作的一部典型的编史性元小说。一方面,小说以历史上真实可考的人物和事件融入故事、构筑情节,对一个铭刻在美国民众集体记忆当中的历史创伤进行重写和再现;另一方面,作品又以其明显的"自我指涉"性揭示出小说和历史书写的虚构本质,模糊了历史与小说之间的界限。本文借鉴琳达.哈钦关于"编史性元小说"这一后现代文类的理论框架,深入解读这部小说的文本特征和叙事策略,旨在探讨小说对历史的重构和对官方叙事的驳斥,以及由此在文本外所进行的政治介入。
As a fictional work concerned with the JFK assassination,Don DeLillo＇s Libra is an exemplary text of histriographic metafiction.While incorporating historical personages and events in the reconstruction of history,the novel reveals its fictional nature by explicit self-reflexivity.Libra revisits and rewrites the historical trauma in the American memory,but paradoxically blurs the distinction between history and fiction.Based on Linda Hutcheon＇s theory of historiographic metafiction,this essay examines the reconstruction of history and refutation of ＂official truth＂ in Libra,so as to reveal its engagement with outside political life.
