论辛格短篇小说中的“家庭”叙事

犹太民族是一个"家庭"观念至上的民族,所以辛格短篇小说的叙事模式基本都是围绕"家庭"这一坐标点构建起来的。然而,辛格笔下的"家庭"导向的是分裂、凋零、衰败和死亡,与《塔木德》强调和弘扬的团结、祥和的家庭精神不是一回事。辛格小说中的这一背离其民族精神传统的叙事特征值得研究者们进行研究。

Family for the Jewish nation is of supreme importance.As a Jewish writer,I.B.Singer constructs his narrative mode of stories around this hinge point of family.However,the family in Singer's short stories tends to be split,withered,declined and dead,which is contrary to the family spirit of peace and harmony emphasized and carried forward in Talmud.It is worthwhile to study this narrative feature in Singer's short stories,which deviates from his Jewish tradition.
