摘要
赫曼·麦尔维尔的中篇小说《比利·巴德》是美国浪漫主义的经典作品,也是研究多维异托邦书写与文本意义生成之间相互渗透的极佳文本。小说中监狱异托邦和危机异托邦的描绘以及人物之间镜像关系的呈现有效促进了对人物形象塑造及其行为动机的挖掘。"战力号"军舰上典型的规训与惩罚深刻揭示了异托邦与秩序建构的内在关联,商船"人权号"的乌托邦隐喻与军舰"战力号"的异托邦刻画巧妙完成了对一个18世纪末海上审判案的艺术转化。文本对异托邦空间的多维呈现集中再现了麦尔维尔对人性的深度透视以及对美国社会体制的冷峻思索。
Drawing from Michel Foucault＇s theory of heterotopies, this paper tries to dig deeper into Billy Budd, the classical work by Herman Melville. This work can be taken as a canonical text to exemplify the interrelationship between the construction of multi-heterotopies in the work and the production of myriad textual implications. The heterotopies of prison and crisis in the novella as well as the mirror relation set between Billy and Claggart are sophisticated strategies, which dramatize characters as well as elements that motivate their actions. Besides, the typical discipline and punishment in Bellipotent reveals vividly the intrinsic relation between heterotopies and order. What is more, the contrast between the metaphor of utopia embodied in Rights of Man and the construction of heterotopies in Bellipotent completes the artistic transformation of a sea trial in the end of the 18th century. In all, Billy Budd presents the clam and profound reflection from Melville on the industrial and political system of contemporary America.
