摘要
作为“垮掉的一代”的代表作,《在路上》的身体叙事体现了作者凯鲁亚克对美国传统文化尤其是新教伦理的反叛.新教伦理以宗教的方式肯定了对物质财富追求的正当性,为美国的资本主义发展提供了精神动力;而《在路上》的身体叙事则意味着作者对新教伦理的反叛、解构,并不断在反叛与解构中重新认识自我、完善自我,从而在禅宗思想中找到了精神信仰.这不仅深深影响了美国二战后一代青年人的价值观,而且也发展与丰富了美国的文学叙事.
As a representative work of the lost Generation, the body narrative in On the Road reflects the author＇ s rebellion against tra- ditional American culture, especially Protestant ethic. Protestant ethic approves of the righteousness of pursuing material wealth which provided the spiritual drive for the development of American capitalism. While the body narrative in On the Road implies the author＇s rebellion against and deconstruction of Protestant ethic, and in this process he kept discovering and perfecting himself, and finally settled his belief in Zen Buddism. This book did not only influence the value of the generation born after WWII, but also enriched and devel- oped American literary narrative.
