摘要
新历史主义主张"文本的历史性和历史的文本性",在承认历史的主观性,拒斥"宏大叙事"的同时,也认可了历史和文学在历史真实和艺术虚构上的相通性,让文学特别是历史小说获得了阐释历史人物和历史事件的应有空间。伊恩·麦克尤恩小说《黑犬》蕴含了丰富的新历史主义思想。小说通过不可靠叙述、视角转换与碎片化等手段客观地展现了主人公琼和伯纳德对遭遇黑犬和其他共同经历和见证的一些个人事件的不同记忆,说明历史和过去的不确定性和多维度性,以及它对"当下"个人的厚重影响。
The New Historicism is generally understood as the historicity of texts and the textuality of history. It acknowledges subjectivity of history and rejects ＂the grand narrative＂,and in the meanwhile,it recognizes the close connection between history and literature in presenting historical truth and artistic creation. Accordingly,the theory allows literature,historical novels in particular,to have enough space in its own right for characterizing historical figures and moulding historical events. Ian Mc Ewan＇s novel Black Dogs in many ways embodies the notion in this regard. The novel makes effective use of such narrative skills as unreliable narration,the shift in point of view and fragmentation to present objectively the different memories of Joan and Bernard about their past. The memories mainly include the encounters of black dogs and other personal incidents they together witnessed and experienced. This shows the uncertainties and multi-dimensions of history and past,and their enormous influence on individuals of the ＂current＂generation.
