《五号屠场》——颠覆传统叙事模式的元小说

《五号屠场》是冯尼古特具有后现代主义元小说特征的反战小说。小说通过采用拼贴,跳跃的时空观,现实与虚构交替等多重元小说叙事技巧来实现反战的宏大叙事,同时实现了多重叙事话语之间的＂对话＂效应,开创了虚构文本和现实之间的＂张力＂。文本的多重终极意义也在＂对话＂效应和＂张力＂之中得以体现。     

Scieszka’s The Stinky Cheese Man : A Tossed Salad of Parodic Re-versions

The Stinky Cheese Man and Other Fairly Stupid Tales (1992) by Jon Scieszka and Lane Smith was awarded a Randolph Caldecott Honor Medal in 1993. Scieszka and Smith subvert textual authority through playing “with literary and cultural codes and conventions” (McCallum 1996, p. 400) in their metafictive text. In this article, I discuss the intertextual and parodic nature of The Stinky Cheese Man and explore Grade 5 students’ responses to this postmodern picturebook. Excerpts from students’ written responses and small group peer-led discussions illustrate some of their responses to and interpretations of the re-versions of the tales, the interactive nature of the characters and the obtrusive narrator, and the design of the book.

艺术桥,彼岸花——《海浪》的后现代主义解读

弗吉尼亚·伍尔夫的高度实验性作品《海浪》集小说、戏剧、散文、诗歌等体裁于一体,书写了对现代社会本体不确定性的哲学问思,同时流露出作者颠覆叙述权威、调整叙述策略的迫切需求。模糊交叠的体裁类别、本体论倾向的主题思想、自省式的元小说叙事特质汇聚成流淌于《海浪》文本之中欲与传统决裂的后现代暗涌。《海浪》的后现代主义元素彰显了伍尔夫力图走出现代文学表述困境的突围之举,折射出她作为小说家和评论家的具有前瞻性的文学理念,为找寻未来理想的文艺之花铺路架桥。     

阿尔瓦罗·穆蒂斯：哥伦比亚新小说的先行者

哥伦比亚作家阿尔瓦罗·穆蒂斯于1986至1993年间发表的七部小说的总集《嘹望员马科洛尔的事业与烦恼》,是20世纪80年代以来他所发表的最重要的作品之一。在这部作品中,作者运用独特的写作手法,通过对航海嘹望员马科洛尔的描写,为我们揭示出他对于现实生活的态度。这些故事反映出一种带有普遍意义的人类生存现状,穆蒂斯正是以这个人物为切入点,通过他的各种经历,表达出作家眼中所看到的以及他心目中的世界。
