摘要
本文从吐温与他笔下的人物——哈克人生轨迹的反差入手,借助文化批评中的"怀旧"概念,结合社会历史分析,对小说的内涵进行全新的阐释。主张因无力改变中产阶级夹心层处境导致的身份困惑,吐温在小说中利用怀旧策略的补偿、慰藉作用,塑造了一个只可能存在于对过去想象中的,一个至真至纯的哈克,在虚拟的世界中实现了自我的统一。这一发现揭示了吐温试图超越不利阶级处境所采取的话语策略,为深入理解小说的主题及文化意义提供了一个全新视角。
The present paper reinterprets The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn from the perspective of nostalgia on the basis of historical analysis as well as a comparison between the author and his character Huck.It argues that,being unable to clear his identity,confusion resulting from his awkward middleclass status,Twain actualizes a kind of visionary integrity by creating Huck,an ultra innocent and authentic boy.By doing so Twain takes advantage of the compensating and comforting effects of the strategy of nostalgia.This conclusion reveals Twain’s discourse strategy in dealing with his disadvantaged social status and provides new insights into the novel’s themes and cultural significance.
