“人民生活的完整图景”:《大雷雨》中的城市时空与民族意识

“A Complete Picture of People's life”:Urban Space-time and National consciousness in TheThunderstorm

长期以来,亚·奥斯特洛夫斯基的《大雷雨》多被解读为社会问题剧,剧本中卡里诺夫城的城市空间与时间被简化为社会问题剧的布景。然而,《大雷雨》中独特的时空呈现出一幅人民生活的完整图景,剧本中城市空间的模糊性勾勒出其前现代性,城市居民的时间观呈现出主人公们对传统民间信仰的坚守,在这一时空中女主人公卡捷琳娜的悲剧是俄国民间伦理中两种不同的“罪与罚”意识交锋的结果。由此,《大雷雨》中的城市时空构成承载民间世界观、俄国民族意识的载体。

The Thunderstorm by A.N.Ostrovsky is consistently expounded as a play of social issues,and the space and time in Kalinov in the script has been simplified as a background,which,however,presents a complete picture of Russian people's life.In this drama,the ambiguity of city space outlines its pre-modernity,while city dwellers"concept of time presents the main roles'adherence to the traditional beliefs.In this way,the tragedy of Katerina,the heroine,is the outcome of the clash of two different"crime and punishment"consciousnesses of the Russian folk ethics.As a result,the space-time of the city in The Thunderstorm constitutes a carrier of the folk worldview and Russian national consciousness.
