美国南方文学嬗变之阶级阐释

The Metamorphosis of Southern Literature in a Class Perspective

美国南方文学在后现代时期的嬗变在一定程度上表现在意识形态领域的冲突上。一批劳动者出身的南方作家与他们“南方文艺复兴”的前辈阶级身份存在显著差异。他们获得话语权后,以本阶级的历史经历及对南方生活的理解,向曾经被视为神圣的价值观显示了冷漠和不敬,对“南方神话”进行了颠覆。

The postmodern metamorphosis of Southern literature reflects an ideological conflict. In contrast to their upper and middle class literary predecessors, contemporary Southern writers from proletarian families present their version of Southern life through the narration of the historical experience of their class and show disrespect and indifference to the values held sacred by the Southern Renascence, thus subverting the Southern myth.
