珍妮特·温特森作品中的故事及其后现代特征

The Postmodern Features of the Story in Jeanette Winterson's Works

故事是温特森作品的特色也是其后现代主义文学思想的核心。本文从三个方面考察温特森作品中故事的特征:她视故事为本体,其故事是建构世界的一种方式,故事不反映世界,而是再造世界,故事不仅表现意义也产生意义;其故事通过私语性、擦抹性讲述解构了宏大、连续的现代叙事;她赋予故事重构延异性主体的功能,在经验联系和补给型叙事中转变主体身份,使主体成为一个永无终点的"进程中的主体"。

Storytelling is the most distinguishing feature of Jeanette Winterson＇s works and the core of her postmodernist literary conception. Regarding the value of a sto- W as ontological, which creates an imaginable reality, Winterson writes stories to break through unimaginative life and stereotypical realism. Her stories, as small narratives, deconstruct the grand modern narrative to enable the intervention and construction of individual words. She also coins words under erasure to challenge binary systems and express the ＂flickering worlds＂. With her art of storytelling as differance, Winterson explores in her narratives the ＂subject in process＂.
