摘要
戴维·洛奇的《作者,作者》出版以来广受学界关注。在该小说中,洛奇一反以往杂糅式叙事风格,在复兴传统全知全能叙事视角同时,以极强的作家主体意识,隐性对位地呈现众叙述者间的互凝视,分析亨利·詹姆斯凝视他者与"被他者凝视"的微妙心理,进而诠释消费文化语域下作者主体性的诉求。由此洛奇试图在小说可然世界中寻找作者的自我坐标,以消弭作家主体性日趋消逝的焦灼,缓解多元化社会中个体人的社会身份焦虑。因此通过研析小说中各主体在建构自我过程中所实施、遭遇的他者凝视,及这些凝视所形成的开放性他者凝视之链,可以清楚看到洛奇尝试构建新凝视话语模式的努力,深刻洞悉他对作家主体性的认知与诉求,并识解其对多元化社会他者语境下个体的自我定位。
David Lodge's Author, Author, a novel based on the life of Henry James, has aroused a wide range of academic attention since its publication in October 2004. Different from his previous works featuring a hybrid narrative style, this novel re- vives the tradition of omniscient narration, through which Lodge analyzes Henry James's subtle psychology in gazing at the others and "being gazed by others" to explore the construction of authorial subjectivity in the cultural context of mass consumption. By studying these gazes and the everlasting chain formed by these gazes, this article argues that Lodge intends to formulate a new paradigm of gaze discourse, to acknowledge the author's subjectivity, and to interrogate individual identity in the context of othemess in a pluralistic society.
