从心理空间视角新解《螺丝在拧紧》

Novel Interpretation of the Turn of the Screw From Mental Space Theory

对亨利·詹姆斯的中篇小说《螺丝在拧紧》的解读在国内外学术界备受争议,其原因在于作品本身的含混性与作者创作时的无意识的映现。文章拟沿着弗洛伊德的精神分析法的轨迹,应用心理空间理论来解释鬼魂出现的原因以及作者创作的初衷,指出女教师出现对鬼魂的幻觉源于其心理空间中框架间元素的映射使其多元交融空间能量无法达到守恒造成的;而作者创作的初衷并非是创作一部心理小说,使该作品成为一部成功心理小说典范的深层原因是作者无意识空间在作用。

The interpretations of Henry James＇ s Novella The Turn of the Screw have been highly controversial in the academic circles both at home and abroad. The reasons lie in the ambiguity of the work on its own and the unconscious mapping of the author in his crea- tive process. This paper is planning to follow the trajectory with Freud＇ s psychoanalysis, applying Mental Space Theory to explore the underlying reason of the emerging ghosts and the author＇ s original intention. This paper finally points out that the governess＇ illusion towards ghosts is caused by nonconservation of energy of her megablended spaces which reflected by elements in their frames of mental spaces from each other. Meanwhile, the author＇ s original intention of writing is actually rather than creating a psychological novella. The underlying cause that makes the novella the apotheosis of psychological novel in literature is just the effect of his unconsciousness.
