分辨“黑暗中最微弱的个人闪光”——解析纳博科夫《天赋》中的“相似性”主题

Distinguish "the Faintest of Personal Glimmers in the Impersonal Darkness"——Analyzing the Theme of "Doppelgnger" in The Gift

本文把作家的“相似”主题作为一个切入点,认为纳博科夫对“相似”主题的运用实际上是一种戏仿和反讽,相似性的外表之下,实则是个体为保持其独特性而与“同化力量”不可调和的冲突。通过分析《天赋》中费奥多尔与其“影子”雅沙的关系,本文进一步探讨纳博科夫的个体意识对群体局限性和历史意识形态的超越。

This paper regards the writer＇s theme of ＂ doppelgaenger＂ as a start point and considers Nabokov＇s use of it＇as a kind of play or imitative with irony. Actually, under similar appearance, there is the individual＇s implacable conflict with the ＂ assimilation ＂of the society. Through analyzing the relation between Fedel and his ＂ shadow ＂ Yasha in The Gift , the paper further probes into Nabokov＇s individual consciousness and his surmount of the limitation of the exile group as well as the historical ideology.
