库切小说《耻》的“中心消解”式的叙事策略

The Narrative Strategy of Central Deconstructionin Coetzee's Novel Disgrace

在库切小说《耻》中,叙事者的卢里所经历的种种耻辱构成了小说的主题。“耻辱”并不是一个抽象的概念,而是随着卢里身上中心主义的一一消解逐渐建构起来的一个动态的过程。《耻》在叙事表达层面,运用“中心消解”式的叙述策略,主人公每一个中心主义情结消解的过程也是他新的耻辱形成的过程,这些看似独立又环环相扣的“耻”构成了小说的全部内涵。

In the novelDisgrace by J.M.Coetzee,various kinds of disgraces suffered byLurie,constitute thetheme of the novel.Disgrace is not an abstract concept inherent in the fate of the maincharacter,but a mobile process formed step by step through decentralizing each binaryopposition.The novel uses the narrative strategy of“central deconstruction”at the narrative expression level.Namely,new disgrace comes into being as each centralized binaryopposition dissolves.And all the disgraces combine to make up the theme of the novel.
