【摘要】 卡森·麦卡勒斯是美国20世纪四十至六十年代的著名女作家,她自幼孱弱多病,30岁时中风偏瘫,伴随她近一生的病痛、残疾对她的心理及写作影响颇大。最突出的是,卡森小说作品表现出“精神隔绝”的主题,关注人们之间的沟通障碍、爱情不可实现。在“精神隔绝”主题的写作之下,她的小说作品中的人物多为残疾人,这一独特现象成为本文写作的关注点。书写残疾,既是书写残疾人物的生理残疾,也是书写人物的精神残缺。本文以残疾人物形象为切入点,分析书写残疾的过程对卡森·麦卡勒斯文学写作及其自身的意义。本文首先着重分析卡森的3部长篇小说和1部中篇小说中的残疾人物,介绍卡森创造的各类残疾人物形象,表现卡森通过他们所要传达的思想。其次分析残疾人物的“残疾”所代表的意义,展现残疾人物对小说作品“精神隔绝”主题的构建。最后分析卡森以残疾人物作为表现对象的缘由,分析书写残疾的过程对于卡森自身的特殊意义。本文主要采用文本细读的方法,细致分析小说人物形象,挖掘附于人物形象创作之上的作者的思想表现,在分析过程中运用了普通心理学、女性主义及存在主义的某些观点。卡森小说作品中的残疾人物,他们的形象有的代表着冷漠社会中救赎的不可实现,有的寻求着自主独立的身份,有的打破了传统的爱情观,有的寻求着生命的意义。卡森通过这些残疾人物的生理残疾表现人类的精神病态和残缺,描绘了当代社会中人们的精神生存处境,也借此寻求和表达着自我的救赎。在卡森的笔下,“残疾”寓意深刻,残疾人物的残疾代表着精神隔绝,而在健全的他者眼中,残疾又体现为成长的恐惧,群体的归属和自我的精神缺失。书写残疾的过程,亦是卡森对自己双性恋身份的确认过程,也体现了卡森对人生意义的思考和对生命的态度。另外,卡森的经验化写作,以及对残疾人物悲剧性的揭示,赋予了残疾人物多样的审美价值。本文的特色是分析残疾人物在文本构建中的意义,将卡森的“精神隔绝”的主题与对残疾人物的表现结合起来,通过对残疾人物的书写表现卡森的生理残疾代表精神残疾的观念,以及书写残疾对卡森自身的意义。
