【摘要】 老人作为叙事主体，在当代文化语境中具有意识表达的独特性和复杂性。这一叙事身份尚未在文学研究中得到足够的重视。本文借用叙事老年学的理论分析美国作家保罗·奥斯特的作品《黑暗中的人》，探讨老年叙述者在社会及自我叙事两个层面上所体现出的叙事封闭特征，以及老人如何通过构建故事打破叙事封闭、实现叙事赋能的过程。“叙事”在老年人建构生活意义、维系价值与尊严的活动中起到重要作用，从叙事封闭与赋能的角度研究老年文学，可以加深我们对文学作品中“衰老”议题的理解，倾听更多文化隐形的老年人潜在的叙事声音。更多还原

【Abstract】 As narrative subjects, older adults express themselves uniquely in contemporary culture, but their narrative identity is often overlooked in literary studies.This paper analyzes Paul Auster’s Man in the Dark from the perspective of narrative gerontology to explore how elderly narrators exhibit narrative foreclosure and break free from it through storytelling. Narrative plays a key role in helping older adults fnd meaning and preserve their dignity. By examining aging literature through the lenses of narrative foreclosure and empowerment, we can deepen our understanding of aging and detect the often-overlooked voices of older adults.更多还原
