怪诞叙事之惑——伊丽莎白·乔利的多元叙事解读

Confusion on Grotesque——Misunderstanding on Elizabeth Jolley's Multiple Narrations

伊丽莎白·乔利是驰名世界的澳大利亚女作家,其怪诞的创作风格一直是评论界热议的主题。从乔利的叙事风格上探索其怪诞的根源,与澳大利亚现实主义写实叙事理论相背,乔利的怪诞叙事风格关注人的心理乱象、人们超现实的欲望和人对传统价值观的僭越,所采用的碎片化、虚实交错和悖谬的手法,意在引起读者对自我与社会、现实与想象、传统与价值重建等三对关系的叩问,思考在复杂多元的世界重建社会规则和道德约束。

Elizabeth Jolley(1923-2007)is a world-famous Australian woman author,whose Grotesque writing style had been the hot topic among critics.This paper manages to explore the hidden reasons behind,concluding that Jolley’s difference lies in that she took postmodernist narrative theories asthe guiding of her writing skills,which goes the opposite from the Australian modernist style.Focusing on peoples’psychological confusion,the super-realist desiresas well as moreself-centered sense of worth,she employs fragmentation,intersecting of fact and fiction,and paradox,in order toquestion more about the relationships between self and society,reality and imagination,tradition and reconstruction.
