诺曼·梅勒战争小说中的黑色幽默

Black Humor in Norman Mailer's War Literature

作为二战后最具代表性的作家之一,诺曼·梅勒在其战争小说中使用黑色幽默反映个人意图与战争环境之间存在的矛盾和冲突,表现战争中生存的荒诞性和庸俗的反英雄人物,展示美国二战时期及战后社会"荒诞的幽默"。然而,悲观、虚无并不是诺曼·梅勒战争小说中黑色幽默想表现的主题,他通过黑色幽默表现的爱国主义情怀和人文主义关怀,成为战争和科技理性夹击下晦暗、荒诞精神世界的一抹亮光,使其战争小说带有积极色彩。

As one of the most representative writers after World War II, Norman Mailer uses a lot of black humor techniques in his war literature to depict the contradictions between personal desires and war environment, present the survival＇ s absurdity and vulgar anti - hero, and reveal the “absurd humor” in America in and after World War Ⅱ. However, as pessimism or nihility is not the target of Nor- man Mailer＇ s war literature, the patriotism and humanistic concern conveyed by black humor is intended to light a torch of hope in the dark and absurd spiritual world in the post - modem industrialized America, which endows itself with some positive color.
