摘要
在《血色子午线》中,科马克·麦卡锡用美墨边疆地区哥特式的空间表征解构了美国边疆神话,揭示出"天定命运说"所掩饰的帝国扩张主义立场。西部不再是自由之地,也无法为"美国亚当"提供重生之所。在这片缺乏女性影响和文明救赎的空间,到处充斥着混乱、暴力和恐怖。
In Blood Meridian,Cormac McCarthy represents the Mexican-American border space in the gothic vein to deconstruct the American frontier myth.The extension of the frontier is in accord with American imperial expansionism disguised in the discourse of'Manifest Destiny'.The West,void of feminine influence and redemptive power of civilization,is no longer the site where the American Adam could regenera^te his manhood and grow with freedom,but where violence,terror and chaos reign.
