摘要
澳大利亚作家理查德·弗拉纳根的《未知的恐怖分子》是一部反思9·11事件的政治讽喻作品,其独特之处在于将现代传媒与艺术创作有机结合,透过媒体渲染的恐怖主义事件揭示话语权力及其运作方式。媒体、政府与公众是大众传媒体系的三大基石,弗拉纳根在作品中揭露了媒体操纵话语、政府与媒体共谋以及公众沦为媒体奴隶的扭曲关系,表现出对媒体政治与权力话语的深刻反思。
Richard Flanagan’s The Unknown Terrorist demonstrates the pervasiveness of terrorism as a dominant political and cultural issue in Australian society since 9·11.Flanagan admirably combines the modern media with artistic creation,with the aim of revealing the essence and operational mode of discourse power.The novel is largely concerned with the interdependent and twisted relationship between government,media and the public,which are considered as the three cornerstones of the mass media industry.It exposes and interrogates the use of terrorism by government and media to manipulate discourse power,while critiquing their attempts to exert,maintain and increase power to achieve their respective hidden agendas.
