工具理性背景下的情感形态与生存境遇——以英国作家马丁·艾米斯为例

On the Emotional Situation Influenced by Instrumental Rationality——A Study of Martin Amis' Work

工具理性对情感的压制与放逐是许多西方作家的写作主题,英国当代重要作家马丁.艾米斯延续了对工具理性背景下情感状态的思索。他的作品中男女性别倒错、两性关系倒错,甚至于父子、母女的关系都呈现出混乱状态,而情感的多重倒错导致当代人的生存境遇陷入危机。马丁.艾米斯的作品对工具理性背景下的生存前景提出警示,同时引发人们对情感本质的思考以及对情感回归的重要价值的确认。

Many western writers focus on the fact that emotion has been suppressed and banished by instrumental rationality. Martin Amis, the important contemporary British writer,also makes a thorough consideration of the emotional condition under the background of instrumental rationality. The emotion of man and woman, father and son, mother and daughter is subverted,thus,the existence condition is endangered. Martin Amis in this way urged the modern people to realize the importance of emotion.
