摘要
当代英国作家格雷厄姆·斯威夫特的新作《唯愿你在此》具有明显的空间特征。在叙事上,斯威夫特借助空间的位移操控叙事,使不同片断在空间结构层面实现熔接,进而打破线性文本的正常流动。除了推动叙事,小说中不同的空间又与人物的处境和心理状态紧密结合,不仅仅作为物理环境,而且还是承载人物思想情感的表征。斯威夫特在建构空间时关注历史语境,并将地域和个人生活经历与宏观的全球性问题联系起来,旨在揭示全球化过程中资本主义暴力的空间生产以及社会边缘群体居无定所的漂泊感与孤独感。
British contemporary writer Graham Swift＇s newly published novel Wish You Were Here is a work explicitly concerned with space. This is firstly exemplified in the narrative form wherein space manipulates the narrative order and disparate elements are juxtaposed side by side in a spatial design. In this way, the trajectory of linear narrative is dislocated. Besides, space in the novel is not just as an external, physical space but also lived space that embodies the internal and mental state of characters. Swifl＇s concern with space has something to do with the larger historical context. By connecting the local and the individual with the wider global issues, Swift lays bare the violence of capitalist production of space, and the adrift and lonely life lived by the marginalized.
