双重叙事进程策略下《饥饿游戏》三部曲中的战争观审视

An Analysis of the Concept of War in The Hunger Games Trilogy from the Perspective of Dual Narrative Progression Strategy

战争是苏珊·柯林斯《饥饿游戏》三部曲中的重要主题,然而,评论界对这一问题的认识争论不休。一些研究者认为柯林斯的创作仍在延续传统的战争神话叙事,因此不应将其视为反战小说。就其本质而言,研究者们多聚焦于故事的显性情节发展,即帕纳姆国的暴政统治所导致的个体抗争和集体政治反抗,构成了反抗暴政统治的伦理叙事脉络。但研究者们多忽略了潜藏于显性情节发展之下的隐性叙事暗流,反抗战争之下暗藏的仍是权力再分配,权力机构通过宣扬战争中的道德模糊性而迫使个体做出有违自由意志的伦理选择,从而造成个体的永久精神创伤。《饥饿游戏》三部曲借助情节发展与隐性进程间形成的颠覆关系,向读者传递和平伦理观念,谴责任何形式的战争,呼吁人们珍视和平。

The issue of war is an important theme in Suzanne Collins’The Hunger Games trilogy,which provoked endless debates among critics.Some researchers refuse to regard Collins’work as an anti-war novel for its continuation of the traditional war mythology narrative.Essentially,researchers focus more on the overt plot of the story,that is,the individual resistance and collective political resistance caused by the tyranny of Panem,which constitutes the ethical narrative storyline of resisting to tyranny.However,most researchers neglected the covert narrative which runs through the overt plot.What it is behind the resistance is the redistribution of power.The authorities force individuals to make ethical choices against their free will by publicizing the moral ambiguity in the war,thus causing permanent mental trauma to individuals.With the help of the subversive relationship between the plot and the covert progression,The Hunger Games trilogy intends to convey the ethics of peace to readers,condemn any form of war,and appeal to people to cherish peace.
