《白噪音》中的单面人物

美国后现代作家唐.德里罗的小说《白噪音》中的人物具有单面性特征。从文化层面上,他们受美国后现代媒体文化的影响和塑造,失去独特个体的话语与思想,成为社会体系所塑造的人。从经济层面上,美国后现代社会的消费文化也使他们丧失了个体精神独特的向度,成为物化的单面人。从伦理价值层面来看,以科学理性为主导的后现代知识造就了局限于专门知识领域的"单面人才",他们忽视人文精神之维的修养,丧失伦理道德,最终走向暴力。

The characters in White Noise by the American post-modern writer, Don DeLillo, are one-dimensional. Influenced by post-modern American media culture, they have lost autonomous individuals＇ voices and thoughts and are culturally shaped by the social system. Economically, the consumerism in the post-modern American society deprives them of their spiritual dimensions and makes them materialized. From the perspective of ethics and value, the post-modern knowledge, characterized by scientific and technological rationality, moulds them into specialists without the humanitarian spirit, which inevitably results in the loss of ethical values and leads to violence
