欢乐与悲哀的舞台——试论小说《苏菲的选择》的狂欢化世界

A stage of happiness and sadness——A survey of carnivalized world in Sophie’s Choice

斯泰伦的小说《苏菲的世界》既痛斥了纳粹暴行,又反思了战后美国社会的生存状况。本文采用巴赫金复调理论中的狂欢化诗学,对小说曲折迷离的情节、男女主角多面的形象和狂欢化的语言进行研究,试图从一个新的审美角度来欣赏其艺术魅力,从而发现作品中狂欢化世界的丰富内涵。

Styron’s Sophie’s Choice not only bitterly attacks on Nazi terror,but also reflects on living conditions of the American society after World Wars.It adopts Bakhtin’s carnival theory of polyphony and studies the confused plot,multi-sides characters and their carnivalized languages.Then it appreciates the artistic charm from a new aesthetic view and finds out its rich connotations in carnivalized world.
