规训·惩罚·死亡——《寄宿公寓》的福柯式解读

Discipline·Punishment·Death——The Foucault-style Interpretation of the Boarding House

《都柏林人》(1914)是詹姆斯·乔伊斯(1882-1941)于20世纪初创作的短篇小说集,且一直深受国内学界关注。而《寄宿公寓》并未像《都柏林人》中其他作品一样受到国内学者的充分关注,使得这一短篇小说背后的深层意义为学界所忽略。本文以《都柏林人》中第七篇作品《寄宿公寓》为分析对象,深入剖析遭都柏林多重权力话语规训的穆尼太太的多重人物形象,并分析穆尼太太借用这些权力话语对其他都柏林人实施的规训与惩罚。最后,本文拟借穆尼太太这一都柏林典例进一步揭示作者掩藏于文本后的死亡气息、无尽嘲讽与忧思。

Dubliners(1914)is a collection of short stories written by James Joyce(1882-1941)in the early 20th century and has always attracted the attention of domestic scholars.However,the Boarding House has not been given enough attention like other works of Dubliners,making implications behind this short story ignored.Therefore,taking the Boarding House,the seventh one of Dubliners,as the analytical object,this paper attempts to deeply analyze images of Mrs.Mooney disciplined by Dublin’s different power discourses.Additionally,it will also interpret how Mrs.Mooney used them to discipline and punish other Dubliners.Ultimately,with Mrs.Mooney as the epitome of Dublin,the dead atmosphere,unrelenting sarcasm and worry hidden behind this story by James Joyce will be revealed.
