对米勒《小说与重复》中的重复观研究

A Study of the Viewpoint of Repetition in J. H. Miller's Fiction and Repetition

美国解构主义批评家、耶鲁学派重要代表人物之一J .H .米勒在 1982年发表的《小说与重复》中精辟地阐明在小说这样的长篇作品中 ,各种类型的重复方式如何产生与存在的意义。文章一方面从小说重复理论存在的文化渊源与哲学根源这一角度出发 ,介绍了米勒对此理论的认识 ,以说明重复理论存在的历史必然性 ;另一方面分别评介了米勒对尼采与柏拉图式重复模式的理解 ,以及这两种重复模式的相互关系。

J. H. Miller, one of the representatives of American deconstructionists and of the Yale School, makes a penetrating analysis, in his book entitled Fiction and Repetition, of the meaning that kinds of repetitions and recurrences create in novels. This paper on the one hand makes a cultural and philosophic examination of Miller's theory to show the historical reasons for this theory, and on the other hand, it makes systematic analysis of Miller's understanding of Plato's and Nietzche's assumptions of repetition and the interrelationship between the two assumptions. The paper concludes that the key to the understanding of textual meaning should be done on the basis of recognizing the internal and external framework of repetition and the author's psychological factors in his work as well.
