无处可逃:《火车》中的创伤书写

Nowhere to Run:Trauma Narrative in Train

艾丽丝·门罗在《火车》中再现了20世纪加拿大战后的历史文化语境及其对游离在社会边缘的个体命运的影响。对边缘化个体而言,战争造成了无以复加的创伤体验,将其经历的代际创伤、战争创伤和情感创伤交织在一起,导致了创伤集聚和逃离怪圈。通过书写互为镜像的两个边缘化个体的创伤,重构个体独特的创伤记忆,门罗探索实现创伤复原的途径,反思现代生活中普遍存在的创伤体验,对当下社会具有现实意义。

In the Train,Alice Munro reproduces the postwar historical and cultural context of Canada in the 20 th century and its impact on the fate of individuals who are on the edge of society.For marginalized individuals,war causes overwhelming traumatic experience,intermingling intergenerational trauma,emotional trauma and war trauma and resulting in trauma accumulation and their abnormal runaways.Through the mirrored comparison of the traumatic narrative of two marginalized individuals and the reconstruction of their unique traumatic memory,Munro not only explores the ways of recovering from trauma,expresses her concern about the universal traumatic experience in modern life,but also highlights its realistic significance for the current society.
