家庭秩序和南方心理：论《喧哗与骚动》和《押沙龙，押沙龙！》中的乱伦情结（英文）

Family Order and the Southern Psyche: The Incest Complex in The Sound and the Fury and Absalom, Absalom!

乱伦是一种跨文化的普遍现象,也常与美国南方相联系起来。作为最伟大的美国南方作家,威廉·福克纳的作品对南方心理进行了深入的探究,他也因此已成为美国南方文学中表现乱伦主题的一个重要人物。在福克纳的某些作品中,例如《喧哗与骚动》和《押沙龙,押沙龙!》,乱伦似乎成为推动情节发展、突显主题表达和激发阅读兴趣的关键因素。本文认为,在《喧哗与骚动》中凯蒂和她的兄弟之间的乱伦关系代表了内战之后美国南方传统家庭秩序的瓦解,而《押沙龙,押沙龙!》中朱迪思、亨利和查尔斯·邦之间的感情纠葛则揭示了南方心理上的混乱,后者曾长期困扰着美国南方。在某种程度上,这两部重要小说中兄弟姐妹之间的乱伦关系可视为福克纳对他的南方故土复杂而又矛盾感情的一个表征。

Incest,a cross-culture common occurence,has been conventionally associated with the American South.William Faulkner,perhaps the greatest Southern writer whose works have best probed into the psyche of the American South,has become a pivotal figure in illustrating the incest motif in Southern literature.In some of Faulkner’s fiction,such as The Sound and the Fury and Absalom,Absalom!,incest seems to lie at the heart of plot development,thematic progression,and reading excitement.The essay intends to argue that while the incestuous relationship between Caddy and her brothers in The Sound and the Fury represents the disintegration of traditional family order in the Postbellum Era,the entanglement between Judith,Henry and Charles Bon in Absalom,Absalom!reveals the troubled Southern psyche which has plagued the South for a much longer period of time.The sibling incestuous relationships in these two major novels,to some extent,can be seen as manifestations of William Faulkner’s ambivalent feelings towards his native soil.
