摘要
托马斯·品钦的最新小说《血尖》以"互联网泡沫"的破裂为时代背景,将数字技术与9/11恐怖袭击作为叙事的核心主题,勾勒出当代美国社会里城市文化与科技政治相互纠缠的独特图景。本文试图跳脱"9/11历史叙事"在该小说研究中占主导地位的现状,从空间视角切入解读文本,通过考察小说里城市空间与赛博空间迥异的空间语法,尝试揭开品钦对待数字技术的态度及其对后人类时代微观政治的反思。小说透过数字救赎与数字恐怖之间的辩证张力,呈现了后人类时代的控制逻辑:数字技术以提供无限可能性为表象,实际上却开启了新的总体化过程,重塑了后现代社会的微观权力结构。
Thomas Pynchon＇s latest novel Bleeding Edge presents an interwoven narrative of urban culture and technological politics in contemporary American society. This paper seeks to transcend the situation of 9/11 historical narrative dominating the studies of this novel and chooses to read it from the angle of space. Through analyzing two different types of space, citispace and cyberspace, this paper tries to reveal Pynchon＇s perspective on digital technology and his reflections on the micropolitics of the posthuman age, which is mainly achieved through the juxtaposition of digital redemption and digital terror. Under the pretext of providing people with infinite possibilities, digital technology initiates a new phase of totalization, thus reshaping the power structure of the postmodern society.
