《伤心咖啡馆之歌》(1943)是美国南方女作家卡森·麦卡勒斯的一部中篇力作。许多评论家都把它看作表现人类“精神隔绝”的普遍生存状态的一个生动寓言,却往往忽略其颠覆现实社会等级体系的乌托邦色彩。本文拟将《伤心咖啡馆之歌》的性别主题置于巴赫金狂欢化理论提供的视角下,尝试论述咖啡馆给南方小镇带来的“狂欢节乌托邦”世界对父权制二元性别观构成的颠覆力量,以及二战以后美国现实生活中男权回潮对女性主义理想的性别秩序造成的巨大冲击。 “Song of Sad Cafe” (1943) is a choreographed masterpiece by the southern American woman writer Carson McCullers. Many critics view it as a vivid fable that shows the universal living conditions of humankind but often neglects its utopian overthrow of the real social hierarchy. This article intends to place the theme of the “sad song of cafe” in the perspective provided by Bakhtin’s carnivalization theory and attempts to discuss the concept of dual sexism of patriarchal society brought by the cafe to the southern town As well as the huge impact on the gender order of feminist ideals caused by the resurgence of patriarchal power in American real life after World War II.
