《伤心咖啡馆之歌》中的身体叙事与权力

Body Narrative and Power in “The Ballad of the Sad Café”

在《伤心咖啡馆之歌》中,身体参与了叙事,成为其中的关键符号并且推动了情节的发展。从小说文本中的身体叙事出发,探讨故事里的身体和身体承载的故事,可以发现小镇权力塑造和控制着人的身体,这种控制源于男权对女性身体的歧视。在静态身体叙事中,身体叙述着权力对它的规训;而在动态身体叙事中,身体展现了小镇权力的转移与争夺。

In “The Ballad of the Sad Café”, the body becomes the key symbol of narrative and drives the plot. The paper explores the body in the story and the story carried by the body. Through the body narrative in the text, it can be found that the power in the small town shapes and controls the human body, and that the control stems from the discrimination of male power against the female body. In the static body narrative, the body narrates the discipline of power on it;while in the dynamic body narrative, the body shows the transfer and competition of power in the town.
