开裂的社区虚构的同一:《给予者》的解构主义解读

德里达的解构理论(deconstruction)震撼了二十世纪的整个西方论坛,他在哲学、语言学和文学批评等领域都颇有建树。他通过挖掘潜藏在前人理论中的悖论对他们的理论进行了瓦解,批评了他们所共有的、根深蒂固的逻格斯中心主义(logocentrism),提出了自己一系列的解构思想。主要依照其悖论辩证思路对露易丝.劳瑞的小说《给予者》进行分析,试图揭露其中潜在的空白区域以及自相矛盾和自我冲突。这些矛盾和冲突时隐时现,扑朔迷离,在无形中对小说的整个结构和故事情节进行着解构。

A broken community, false sameness——a deconstructive reading of The Giver

Derrida's deconstruction theory,which came into being in the twentieth century,shocked the whole western academic circle,exerting great influence in philosophy,linguistics,literary criticism etc.Working on the paradoxical elements embedded in his predecessors' theories,he overthrew their theoretical propositions and vehemently criticized the deep-rooted logocentrism manifested in their thoughts.This essay follows the "paradox-tracing" method to approach Lois Lowry's novel The Giver,and tries to delve into the potential meanings of the latent space and contradictions,which imperceptibly deconstruct the whole book.
