库尔特·冯内古特小说《蓝胡子》的空间意义阐释

On the Spatial Meaning Interpretation of Kurt Vonnegut's Blue Beard

美国后现代作家库尔特·冯内古特善于运用"空间"元素作为其作品的释意手段。在他的《蓝胡子》一书中,冯内古特力图在叙事中把握空间的意义,从而利用空间的隐喻分别阐释现代人的心理困境、女性的卓越领导力以及战争带给人类的创伤。解读小说所建构的空间中所蕴含的社会文化特征,探讨空间的价值与功能可以为冯内古特作品研究提供一个新的理论角度。

Kurt Vonnegut, an American postmodern writer, is good at using the element of ＂space＂ as a means of interpreting his works. In his hook Blue Beard, Vonnegut tries to grasp the meaning of space in his narrative, thus using the metaphorical power of space to explain the psychological predicament of modern people, the outstanding leadership of women and the trauma of war. Understanding the social and cultural characteristics of the space constructed by the novel and exploring the value and function of space can provide a new theoretical perspective for the study of Vonnegut＇s works.
