摘要
佩列文的长篇小说《"百事"一代》极易被视为讲述塔塔尔斯基成功之路的庸俗励志故事。本文认为,作品的当代现实意义是,被资讯和信息围困的当代俄罗斯知识分子萌发了对消费时代的预判、警示与忧虑,作品彰显出强烈的反消费乌托邦思想。独特的"消费乌托邦—俄式景观社会"以广告和电视为支撑,以金钱为运行动力,而景观之后潜藏的却是骇人的世界图景。
Victor Pelevin＇s novel Generation ＂P＂ is often read as an inspiring story about Tatarski＇s way to success. This article argues that the social significance of this novel lies in its diagnosis of, warning against, and anxiety over a consumer society in which contemporary Russian intelligentsia find themselves surrounded by a flood of disparate information. Against the utopia of consumerism, the novel reveals how the unique ＂Russian society of the spectacle＂ is supported by advertisements and television and manipulated by big money, behind which lurks a horrible prospect of the world.
