《达洛维夫人》中的消费异化与经济叙事

On Consumption Alienation and Economic Narrative in Mrs.Dalloway

现代主义先锋弗吉尼亚·伍尔夫在其小说《达洛维夫人》中以独特而细腻的笔法构筑起一个商业化的伦敦,捕捉了衣食住行中各类物品作为消费客体的符号化真相,揭露了不同阶层、不同性别的人作为消费主体所面临的异化危机。通过对宏观经济环境与微观商业现象的双重勾勒,伍尔夫批判了大规模生产体系和商业营销两大“亲消费”因素助长消费文化的负面作用,对消费异化背后的经济逻辑作出反思。《达洛维夫人》中的经济叙事既勾画了消费社会,也分解了其异化结构。

In her novel Mrs.Dalloway,the modernist pioneer Virginia Woolf constructs,with a unique and delicate touch,a commercial London where the symbolization of clothes,food,house,and transport as consumption objects is captured and the alienation crisis of people of different classes and genders as consumption subjects is exposed.Meanwhile,through the double depiction of macro-economic environment and micro-commercial phenomena,Woolf also criticizes the negative effects of mass production system and commercial marketing as two“pro-consumption”contributors to consumer culture,reflecting on the economic logic behind consumption alienation.The economic narrativein Mrs.Dalloway not only bears the consumer society but also breaks its alienation structure.
