错位情感中的毁灭:论小说《橙血》的权力空间解读

The Interpretation of the Power Space in Yan Ge-ling's Short Story The Blood from Navel Orange

在小说《橙血》中,橙园——一个类似于边沁的"圆形监狱"见证了华人男子黄阿贤与其洋主人玛丽之间的故事。从空间的角度看,玛丽居于橙园金字塔型权力体系的最高端:对内,掌控阿贤,尽显白人对华人的规训与惩罚;对外,驱逐所有的树胚购买者,以树立自己强者的身份。作家严歌苓借黄阿贤飘零的一生展示了橙园这一权力空间的构造。

In the short story The Blood from Navel Orange,the orange base,similar to Jermey Bentham＇s the Panopticon,has witnessed the story between Huang A-xian,a Chinese man,and his white master Marie.Observed from the perspective of space,Marie,who has occupied the top of the pyramid of power,had A-xian＇s life in the palm of her hand and expelled all the buyers for the tree embryo from navel orange to establish his identity of the strong. In other words,through Huang A-xian＇s life,Yan Ge-ling exhibited the structure of the power space in the orange base.
