摘 要: 巴特勒在《亲缘》里采用时间旅行的超现实主义表现手法,揭露奴隶制的黑暗,抨击种族压迫的反人性。她把现实与幻想有机结合起来,消除了外祖母悖论、双向时差悖论和跨时空物品悖论可能引起的逻辑混乱和思维紊乱,继承和发扬了黑人神话传说、民间故事、宗教习俗等方面的传统。巴特勒还把意念和时空转换做了能动的结合,在小说中设置了非控制式时空转换、能动式时空转换和意念冲突式时空转换。此外,巴特勒还采用了警方介入、目睹体验和史实呼应的策略,冲破传统现实主义的樊篱,精心建构其时空转换的可信性,从主观内省的角度,展示跨时空的超现实场景。 |

Abstract: Applying the surrealist ways of time travel to Kindred, Octavia E. Butler reveals the evils of slavery and makes invectives against the dehumanization of race oppression. She organically infuses fantasy into real life, overcomes the logical and ideological disorder caused by grandmother paradox, paradox of double-orientated time difference, and trans-space-time paradox, and develops the traditions of black fairytales, folklores and religious customs. Butler makes a dynamic combination of ideation and space-time transference, designing the non-controlled time-space transference, the dynamic time-space one and the ideational conflicting space-time one. In addition, Butler resorts to the tactics of police investigation, injury witness, and real life alternating with bygone events to elaborate the structure of space-time transference, breaks through the limitation of traditional realism and shows its surrealist scenes from the subjective introspective angle. |
