【摘要】 本文采用文学伦理学分析方法,尝试对美国现代作家菲利普罗斯的《垂死的肉身》进行深入解读。文学伦理学是一种具有跨学科性质的批评方法,兼有伦理学的性质,同时不脱离文本分析。随着西方文学理论历史的发展,结构主义、解构主义等理论有脱离文本的趋势,我国的文学研究者迫切地希望文学批评能够回归文学本身。文学与伦理学有着天然的联系,伦理学研究人类社会的道德现象和道德活动,以及在社会活动中形成的人与人的关系,文学作品中借助虚构的情节和艺术描写把现实世界的活动转向艺术世界,现实社会的各类矛盾转化为虚拟世界的各类矛盾,同样可以作为伦理学的研究对象。所以,结合了伦理学分析方法的文学理论有着更加开阔的研究领域是研究视野,值得深入拓展。文学伦理学的分析方法需要找出具体文本中的伦理现象,结合该伦理现在的历史背景,寻找出现实世界中道德现象在文本中的折射现象,并对文本中的道德现在作出理智评析。《垂死的肉身》是菲利普罗斯欲望三部曲中的一部,鉴于书中间或出现的情色描写常常被初读者误解,本文通过对该书中的情欲主题和死亡主题进行伦理分析,重新探讨美国五六十年代国民精神的迷惘和失落表现,以死亡主题结束全书的伦理现象分析,也是对美国性解放以及反文化运动的终结的忠实反映。本文通过对全书伦理现象的细致归类和分析,力图使读者通过伦理的视角重新阅读该书,并结合美国具体年代的历史现象更加深刻理解该书。本文还对文学伦理学批评的现状作出一定分析并给予建议。更多还原

【Abstract】 Ethical literary criticism features the qualities of both literature and ethics, and hence provides critics a new perspective in understanding literary works. With the development of western literary theories, a theoretical trend from new criticism to structuralism and deconstructionism is taking the readers’attention away from the text, as some critics argue that to read a book means to find out the relationship, structure or writing techniques in it. However, some literary scholars in China suggest that literary criticism should keep a watchful eye on the text. Literature and ethics form a natural relationship in that ethics studies the moral phenomena and activities of human being’s society and different relationships developed during those activities, while literary works turn the activities in the real world into artistic world through fictional plots and artistic language. At the mean time, different kinds of contradiction in real society can be transformed into those in fictional world, which can also become the objects for ethical study. Ethical literary criticism combines literary criticism with analysis method of ethics and serves to broaden the study field.This thesis addresses the ethical problems and their historical background in order to identify the projection of ethical phenomena of real society with the moral phenomena in The Dying Animal. Based on the ethical descriptions in this book, the author attempts to analyze the erotic theme and the death theme of the book in question, and then proceeds to discuss the spiritual confusion and disillusionment in 1950s and 1960s in America. The author argues that the erotic theme and the death theme imply the movement of counter-culture and sex liberation at that time. The theme of death reflects the facts that both counter-culture movement and sex liberation have come to their end. In addition, this thesis also aims to help readers read the book from a new point of view and thereby getting a better idea of the new literary critical approach.更多还原
