【摘要】：在当代空间理论视域之下,源于现实生活的文学空间已不再是单纯地对人们赖以生存的现实空间的模仿、再现或表现,而是文本铸造的社会空间的组成与再现。以空间批评理论入手,可以从社会空间、个体空间和主人公心理空间等三个维度对美国华裔作家雷祖威的短篇小说《生日》进行解读与探讨。作品通过法院大楼、弗兰克住宅与华莱士·王的意大利餐馆和小孩韦尔比的房间这几个标志性空间的叙写以及主人公所经历的充满碰撞与冲突的个人恋情,来展示华莱士在社会空间中体验的强权与压抑、个人空间所遭受的冷落与磨难及其内在心理空间所承受的煎熬与困惑,折射出年轻一代的华裔虽已获得异国的身份但却仍被主流社会无情地疏离与边缘化,以至他们无力改变自身所栖居的生存空间,无法觅寻到灵魂的宿归。
[Abstract]:From the perspective of contemporary space theory, the literary space derived from real life is no longer a mere imitation, reproduction or representation of the real space on which people rely for existence, but the composition and reproduction of the social space cast by the text. Based on the theory of space criticism, we can interpret and discuss the short story "Birthday" of Chinese American writer Lei Zuwei from the three dimensions of social space, individual space and protagonist's psychological space. Through the Court Building, Frank's house and the King Wallace's Italian restaurant and the child's room in Welby's room, the narration of the iconic space and the personal love experience of the protagonist is full of collisions and conflicts. To show Wallace's experience of power and repression in social space, the neglect and suffering of personal space and the suffering and confusion of his inner psychological space, It reflects that the young generation of Chinese has acquired the status of a foreign country, but is still mercilessly alienated and marginalized by the mainstream society, so that they are unable to change the living space in which they live and can not find their soul.
