摘要
《兔子归来》中含有大量涉及20世纪60年代美国政治、历史事件的媒介书写,它们既与作者厄普代克的媒介情缘有关,也是展示反文化运动时期美国社会中不同政治观点交锋的场域,但以往学界却对此甚少关注。小说揭示电视新闻的浅层化、爆炸化、商品化特征,批评电视媒介丧失民主政治功能,揭示新闻媒介在反文化运动中与种族主义暴力沆瀣一气,质疑电视媒介塑造的登月史这一宏大叙事的真实性。另一方面,小说书写了被剥夺的边缘他者的政治观及其历史,通过与主流媒介不一样的政治、历史言说,以文学媒介来推动更包容的民主精神。
In Rabbit Redux,there is much writing of media related to the American political and historical events in the 1960s.The writing of media connected with the author Updike's closeness to mass media,representing a field of conflicting political opinions in America during the Counterculture Movement,has not drawn much attention from scholars.The novel points out the superficiality,explosion and commercialization of TV news,criticizes TV media's dysfunction in promoting democracy,reveals that news media operate in collusion with the racist violence in the Counterculture Movement,and questions authenticity of the lunar landing history as a meta-narrative fashioned by TV media.At the same time the novel writes about the political positions and histories of the disenfranchised and marginalized others,in an attempt to promote the more inclusive democracy via literature.
