隔离与融合——小说集《大教堂》中的文本空间与人际交流

Isolation and Integration:the Textual Space and Interpersonal Communication in Cathedral

《大教堂》是卡佛于1983年出版的短篇小说集,同时也是其对底层人民的挣扎着墨最为特殊的一本小说集。根据以色列学者加布里尔·伦佐的空间理论,卡佛的小说空间大致有三个层次。而层次之间的变化又与人物交流密切相关。文章拟通过分析小说中两种不同的人际交流模式,试图探讨《大教堂》一书在卡佛小说中的特殊地位。

Cathedral, a short novel collection published in 1983 by Carver, presented the most detailed descriptions of the struggle in the life of the underclass. According to Israeli scholar Gabriel Zoran＇s spatial theory, Carver＇s novel space has three layers and changes between layers are closely related to the character communication. By analyzing two different interpersonal communication patterns in the short story, this paper attempts to discuss the particularity of Cathedral in Carver＇s stories.
