菲利普·罗斯“凯普什系列”小说中的欲望叙事

Desire Narrative in Philip Roth’s Kepesh Novels

在菲利普·罗斯的"凯普什系列"小说中,身体与情感的交互是欲望叙事的重要组成部分。基于情感在身心之间、思与行之间、自我与社会之间的作用,小说叙述了主人公凯普什的个体欲望经验。《乳房》的叙述者以怪诞方式叙述了男性身体的"欲望"与对他者身体的情感映射,即身心合一的欲望。同一主人公在《欲望教授》和《垂死的肉身》中则从现实视角叙述了自我在思与行之间、自我与社会之间情感与身体疏离的欲望变化。文章认为,罗斯在身体与情感交互的欲望叙事中,将"具身体现"放在身体与情感的交互共生中来考察身体的情感认知意义,揭示了身体即文本。

For Philip Roth,the desire narrative occupies an essential part of his Kepesh novels,which are interwoven with interactions between body and affect,body and mind,thought and act,self and society.This article contends that Roth’s desire narrative in Kepesh novels reveals the fundamental cognitive affect of body in light of the"embodiment"in the interaction of body and affect.Body implies more the universal than the personal and comes to be known in its interaction and textualization.
