《大瀑布》中伦理悲剧与现实投射

Ethical Tragedy and Reflections in The Falls

研究了美国女作家乔伊斯·卡罗尔·欧茨的《大瀑布》这出伦理悲剧,认为欧茨在作品中讴歌了美国人不屈的反抗精神,向20世纪50年代"垮掉的一代"表达了自己的敬意;对当代美国新保守主义带给同性恋者的压迫给予了间接的批判;对极端利己主义和新自由主义进行的批判性书写也表达了自己对社群主义的呼唤。

The Falls, an ethical tragedy written by Joyce Carol Oates is analyzed. It is considered that in this book, Oates eulogizes the rebellious spirit of the Americans, and express his respect to the beat generation in 1950s; he gives an indirect criticism on the oppression of homosexuals brought by contemporary American neo-conservatism; the critical writing of extreme egoism and neoliberalism also expresses his call for communitarianism.
