本论文主要通过研究《殿堂》的叙述策略来探讨艾丽斯·沃克的社群观。小说《殿堂》建构了一个理想世界,讲述了这个理想世界集体的故事。沃克通过信件、日记以及口述等形式将小说中的人物转化为次级叙述者,并让他们轮流讲述自己的故事。在这个理想的世界中,集体的各成员不仅可以通过讲述故事来自我疗伤,同时他们也倾听彼此的故事并从中获得救赎。第三人称叙述者则将这些个人的故事汇集成为一个有机的集体故事。小说通过叙述将时间与空间压缩,过去与现在相互交织,世界各地也被压缩成一个集体。在这个时空压缩的整体里,所有的生物,无论是什么样的背景都应该和平相处,因为任何一部分遭到破坏,死亡就会蔓延到整体。
This dissertation explores Alice Walker’s community view mainly through the study of the narrative strategy of “The Temple”. The novel “The Temple” constructed an ideal world and told the collective story of this ideal world. Walker transforms characters in the novel into sub-narrators through letters, diaries and dictations, and lets them tell their stories in turn. In this ideal world, not only can members of the community heal themselves by telling stories, but they also listen to and learn from each other’s stories. The third-person narrator brings the stories of these individuals together into an organic collective story. Through the narrative of the novel, the time and space are compressed, the past and the present are intertwined, and the rest of the world is also compressed into a collective. In this space-time compressed whole body, all creatures no matter what kind of background they should live in peace, because any part of the destruction, the death will spread to the whole.
