On Ugliness Presentation in The Ballad of the Sad Café
-
摘要: 麦卡勒斯的《伤心咖啡馆之歌》,描写了丑人畸人畸恋,这是她所处社会文化与美学观念转向的体现,传统审美不再适应社会的需求,文学转而向审丑寻求帮助。审丑能激发读者心中的批判意识,使读者清醒地认识到世相真实。这种审丑打破了人们对性别、爱情及人物外形的刻板印象,将人们从同一性桎梏中解放出来,突破同一性思维从而达到救赎艺术、还原真相的作用,促使人们认真思考,寻求真理,实现自我拯救。麦卡勒斯的审丑取向在客观上拓展了美学的内涵与外延,是顺应时代发展的文学体现。Abstract: Unlike the traditional literature, The Ballad of the Sad Café tells a grotesquely love triangle between a lonely masculine woman, a feminine evil hunchback and a handsome demon. The ugliness preference in the art field is a necessity of the time. It is a phenomenon resulted from the historical changes and philosophical development in modern time. Ugliness presentation can distance the readers from the novel and awaken the reader to quest for truths. By presenting ugliness McCullers reveals the maladies of modern society and breaks up the sex stereotypes, romance stereotypes and physical appearance stereotypes. Her inclination to present ugliness is a big breakthrough in novel writing and has greatly expanded the aesthetic area of modern fiction.
