漫游中的凝视——再读《黛茜 ·密勒》

Gaze in Travelling ——Rereading DAISY MILLER

  • 摘要: 《黛茜 ·密勒》是亨利 ·詹姆斯"国际主题"小说的一篇早期代表作,也是一部具有"漫游小说"性质的作品。笔者拟用"凝视"理论,阐释小说人物之间复杂的凝视关系及其有趣的凝视游戏。这一凝视游戏中,凝视者与被凝视者的身份悄然发生转换。黛茜在这场凝视游戏中有效地进行对抗性凝视,由凝视客体转而成为凝视主体,温特伯恩及欧洲文化则成为凝视客体,形成另一种"他者的景观"。亨利·詹姆斯在这一凝视游戏中完成了美国文化身份的建构。

     

    Abstract: DAISY MILLER is one of Henry James’s early international novels; it is also characteristic of traveling novel. In terms of Gaze theory, this paper intends to research into complicated gaze relations as well as the interesting gaze game concerning the main characters. The positions of the gazer and the gazed turn out to be inter-changeable. As another fl?neur (or traveler), Daisy carries out rebellious gaze effectively, transforming into the gazer, while Winterbourne and European culture become "the spectacle of the other" by taking the opposite direction. During the gaze game, Henry James accomplishes the construction of American cultural identity.
