【摘要】：約翰·厄普代克發(fā)表的“兔子系列”小說(shuō),一直是厄普代克研究界所關(guān)注的焦點(diǎn)。作品通過(guò)對(duì)美國(guó)中產(chǎn)階級(jí)日常生活的描寫(xiě)來(lái)反映當(dāng)代美國(guó)人的生存狀態(tài),被人們形象的稱為“美國(guó)斷代史”。國(guó)內(nèi)外學(xué)者普遍將這一系列作品作為一個(gè)整體進(jìn)行研究,對(duì)其中每部小說(shuō)的研究和關(guān)注相對(duì)較少。本論文以“兔子四部曲”中極具代表性的最后一部作品《兔子歇了》為研究對(duì)象,通過(guò)對(duì)小說(shuō)中人物的日常生活和精神狀態(tài)的分析,展示二十世紀(jì)八十年代在消費(fèi)文化盛行的美國(guó)社會(huì)中人們所經(jīng)歷的對(duì)死亡的恐懼,對(duì)垃圾食品和毒品的上癮和對(duì)自身身份的困惑,從而進(jìn)一步揭示出他們的生存狀態(tài)。本論文主體分為三章,分別從三個(gè)不同的角度揭示了消費(fèi)文化對(duì)人們?nèi)粘Ｉ詈蜕鏍顟B(tài)的影響。第一章主要探討了《兔子歇了》中主人公的死亡意識(shí)及其產(chǎn)生與消費(fèi)文化的緊密聯(lián)系,從而揭示消費(fèi)文化對(duì)美國(guó)人對(duì)死亡的態(tài)度的重要影響。第二章則以《兔子歇了》中人物對(duì)食物和毒品的上癮的描述為切入點(diǎn),揭示出這種現(xiàn)象背后的文化內(nèi)涵,即消費(fèi)文化對(duì)個(gè)人生活的重要影響及其所反映出來(lái)的當(dāng)代美國(guó)人的生存狀態(tài)。第三章主要探討了《兔子歇了》中人物的身份困惑并進(jìn)一步分析了這種身份困惑形成的主要原因：以消費(fèi)文化為主導(dǎo)的當(dāng)代美國(guó)社會(huì)中的文化矛盾。論文在三章分析的基礎(chǔ)上得出結(jié)論,厄普代克的《兔子歇了》揭示出二十世紀(jì)八十年代美國(guó)社會(huì)在物質(zhì)極大豐富和經(jīng)濟(jì)一派繁榮的表象下,人們所遭受的由于傳統(tǒng)價(jià)值觀缺失所造成的生存困境,.信仰危機(jī),身份認(rèn)同危機(jī)和由此帶來(lái)的內(nèi)心空虛,精神孤獨(dú)和異化感。面臨著這樣的生存困境,人們通過(guò)對(duì)食物、毒品等物品的過(guò)度消費(fèi)來(lái)麻痹自己,緩解內(nèi)心的恐懼,填補(bǔ)內(nèi)在的空虛。概括來(lái)說(shuō),本論文通過(guò)對(duì)約翰·厄普代克的《兔子歇了》中人物的生存狀態(tài)的分析,從而揭示出二十世紀(jì)八十年代美國(guó)人在以消費(fèi)文化為主導(dǎo)的社會(huì)中的精神生活和由此引發(fā)的生存困境。
[Abstract]:The rabbit series published by John Updike has always been the focus of attention in the field of Updike research. By describing the daily life of the American middle class, his works reflect the living conditions of contemporary Americans. Scholars at home and abroad generally study this series of works as a whole, and pay less attention to each novel. In this paper, the author takes the rabbit's rest as the research object, through the analysis of the daily life and mental state of the characters in the novel. It shows the fear of death, addiction to junk food and drugs, and confusion about their identity in the American society where consumer culture prevailed in the 1980s, thus further revealing their state of existence. The main body of this paper is divided into three chapters, respectively, from three different angles to reveal the impact of consumer culture on people's daily life and living state. The first chapter mainly discusses the death consciousness of the protagonist and its close relationship with consumer culture in Rabbit's rest, thus revealing the important influence of consumer culture on American attitude to death. The second chapter, based on the characters' addiction to food and drugs in Rabbit, reveals the cultural connotations behind this phenomenon. That is, consumer culture has an important impact on personal life and reflects the living conditions of contemporary Americans. The third chapter mainly discusses the identity confusion of the characters in Rabbit's rest and further analyzes the main causes of the identity confusion: the cultural contradiction in contemporary American society dominated by consumer culture. On the basis of three chapters' analysis, the paper concludes that Updike's "Rabbit's rest" reveals that the American society in the 1980s appeared to be rich in material resources and prosperous in an economic school. People suffer from the lack of traditional values caused by the plight of survival. Belief crisis, identity crisis and inner emptiness, spiritual loneliness and alienation. In the face of this dilemma, people paralyze themselves through excessive consumption of food, drugs and other items, ease their inner fear and fill the inner emptiness. To sum up, this paper analyzes the living conditions of the characters in John Updike's Rabbit. It reveals the spiritual life of American in the society dominated by consumer culture in the 1980's and the living predicament caused by it.
