论《飞越大西洋》中的共同体书写

Community Writing in TransAtlantic

科伦·麦凯恩在小说《飞越大西洋》中运用后现代叙事手法,将小人物融入大历史,使家族史与人类历史进程实现紧密互动,体现了作家对战争与和平、奴役与自由、个体与他人的深入思考和鲜明的人文主义立场。麦凯恩在小说文本中努力建构的共同体具有流动性、偶然性和差异性等特征,强调沟通与共情对于全球化时代命运共同体建构的核心纽带作用。

Employing postmodern narrative techniques,Colum McCann in his novel TransAtlantic interweaves personal experiences and grand history and attempts to establish connectedness in the fluidity and uncertainty.His contemplation on issues such as war and peace,bondage and freedom,individuality and collectivity exhibit his humanistic concerns.Despite all the differences,contingency and fluidity,communication and empathy remain the core elements for the construction of a community of shared future in the postmodern context.
