欧芝克作品的空间解读——以《披肩》和《罗莎》为例

A Spacial Interpretation on Ozick's Novels——A Study on the Shawl and Rosa

空间在现代流散族裔作家的作品中是一个较为突出的主题。流散族裔的身份构建与空间问题有着天然的联系。在后现代叙事中,空间直接参与叙事,成为推动个体发展和建构人格,构建个体族裔身份的重要因素。本文以犹太裔作家欧芝克作品《披肩》及《罗莎》为研究对象,结合列夫菲尔空间三一论以及索亚的第三空间相关理论,分别从对应的城市地理空间,家园空间,身体空间三个层面分析了犹太民族在后现代语境下所面临的迷失与错位,身体的毁灭,以及家园的追寻无果,以期为欧芝克及其作品的学术研究提供一个更为开阔的跨学科途径。

Space has been a conspicuous subject in modern diaspora writings. The construction of ethnic identity of the diaspora group is naturally connected with the issue of space. In post-modern narrations,space has been serving as an important participant in narration to promote and build personality and ethnic identity. Attempting to study The Shawl and Rosa by American Jewish writer Ozick under the framework of Lefebvre＇s space theory and Third Space theory by Soja,this paper analyzes how Jewish people confront the displacement of space in urban city,how their bodily space is annihilated and their failure to seek their homeland from three corresponding levels,namely,the geographical city space,the space of homeland and the space of body in the context of globalization,aiming to provide a broader and interdisciplinary approach for academic research on Ozick and her masterpieces.
