《美丽新世界》中的空间建构方式与叙事功能

Spatial Construction and Narrative Functions in “Beautiful New World”

阿道司·赫胥黎的反乌托邦小说《美丽新世界》向我们构建了一个充满科技危机的空间,其中整体空间也呈现出多层次、多位面的特征。既存在着"新世界"人群生产活动的现实空间,也兼有高于现实的精神空间、与现实空间似断似连的历史空间。这三重空间通过交互、并置的叙事手段,全方位地构筑起一个反乌托邦世界,揭示了生活于其中的人类所面临的生存危机。

Aldous Huxley＇s anti-utopia novel＂Beautiful New World＂has built a space full of scientific and technological crisis. The overall space also presents a multi-level and multi-planet feature. There is a realistic space for the production activities of the＂New World＂crowd,as well as a historical space that is higher than the actual spiritual space and similar to the realistic space. This tri-dimensional space constructs an anti-utopia world in all directions through interactive,juxtaposed narrative techniques,revealing the survival crisis faced by human beings living in it.
