“否定”的诱惑:试析巴塞尔姆《白雪公主》的召唤结构

An Analysis of the Appeal Structure of Donald Barthelme's Snow White

唐纳德·巴塞尔姆的《白雪公主》是后现代主义文学的主要代表之一。该小说独特的叙事方法与巧妙的人物塑造模式为读者留下许多等待填补的"空白"与"未知",形成强大的召唤结构。这种审美效果不断否定了读者的先在审美经验,促使读者对文本进行重构与再创造。强大的召唤结构使得这部小说像一坛佳酿,历久不衰、悠远留长。

Donald Barthelme ’ s Snow White is one of the most significant masterpieces of postmodern literature .His unique ways of narration and artful characterization left readers many “blanks” and “uncertainties”, which not only constantly inspires readers to deny their original aesthetic experience but also encourage them to reconstruct and recreate the text .The strong appeal structure makes the novel as classic as a jar of vintage wine giving out its everlasting glory .
