家园的失落与构建--探寻《已知世界》中的空间隐喻

摘要

The Known World written by American writer Edward P Jones is another novel about slavery winning Pulitzer Prize , following Toni Morrison′s Beloved.In the novel , the home space , on the background of the southern plantation , was in the shadow of division and“returning alienation” before the civil war .Although in the“the third space”, the marginal people have constructed the diversified and comprehensive home image , Jones′s opening and blurred ending is still a continuation of the reflections on the space anxiety as well as its implication and metaphor of productive and social relations .%美国作家爱德华· P·琼斯的《已知世界》是继托尼·莫里森的《宠儿》之后又一部获得普利策奖的蓄奴题材小说。其中以南方种植园为背景的家园空间，在内战前夕处于分裂和回归异化的阴影之下，虽然在“第三空间”中，边缘阶层以其开放视角构建了多元包容的家园意象，但琼斯对结尾的开放和模糊处理，仍延续了对空间焦虑及其蕴含的生产及社会关系隐喻的思考。
