愚昧与死亡——论美国愚人文学的主题嬗变

Title: Folly and Death──On the Thematic Evolution of American Folly Literature

关注人类本性和行为的愚蠢及其对自身和社会造成的危害是愚人文学产生和存在的基础。美国的愚人文学由讽刺人类本性和行为的愚蠢到揭示现、当代人类的“无归属感”和“死亡”结局 ,其主题发生了深刻的变化。研究这些愚人文学作品 ,对于从人性的角度揭示人类境遇的规律具有一定的认识论意义。

The concern of the folly in the human nature and behavior and its harm to the society is the basis that folly literature comes into being and exists. There has been a great evolution in the themes of the American Folly Literature, from the satire of the folly in the human nature and behavior to the revelation of the unbelongingness and death of the contemporary human being. The study of these works is of epistemological significance in the revelation of the law of the human destiny from the viewpoint of human nature.
