| Abstract | 孤独无助者的疏离命运一直是田纳西•威廉斯关注的焦点。《欲望号街车》中的布兰奇与《热铁皮屋顶上的猫》中的布里克内疚缠身、羸顿无助。尤其是主流观念给两位布氏人物分别贴上作茧自缚、极没出息的标签时，布兰奇与布里克的精神困顿和迷离进一步加剧。
以孤独无助者的疏离境遇为聚焦点，《欲望号街车》与《热铁皮屋顶上的猫》有着相似的深层结构，即孤独无助者寻求认可和身份，摆脱困境的过程。布兰奇与布里克疏离境遇的叙事话语背后处处隐藏着修辞的痕迹。话语之说服力，即修辞，通过叙事得以实现。迄今为止，学术界对疏离困境叙事话语说服力的研究，即对布兰奇、布里克疏离命运的修辞叙事研究寥寥无几。本论文以叙事交流模式为理论框架，设计假想阅读实验，探求剧作者如何通过文本动态运动与读者动态参与把话语的艺术、社会价值投射到读者的认知、情感领域之中，孤独无助者的疏离命运何以在读者灵魂深处和批评界产生持久性张力因修辞性叙事阅读更为明晰。
剧作者描绘困境，与文本一同期待读者参与疏离境遇；读者积极参与叙事进程，解读困境，逐步走进疏离境遇：布兰奇在昔日包袱、今日煎熬中艰难度日，布里克则在谎言充斥的社会中寻求真实和身份的认可。对比两个叙事进程，将其异同置于特定社会语境下，管窥话语背后隐藏的社会意义。身陷社会规约之中的布兰奇与布里克通过自身努力走出困境是徒劳的；精神困顿者的结局迥然不同：布兰奇垂死挣扎，试图摆脱羁绊走出困境，但未能如愿；玛吉决心帮助布里克面对现实，淡化了其命运的悲剧色彩。通过布里克与布兰奇命运的不同，威廉斯向社会传递隐含信息提出可行可能方案帮助精神困顿者走出困境：人们的支持与帮助有助于孤独无助者避免终遭毁灭的悲惨结局。剧作者首先引导读者关注布兰奇与布里克的疏离命运，然后传递隐含信息，实现了其叙事话语的说服力。 |
| Other Abstract | The plight of alienated individuals is a central concern for Tennessee Williams. Blanche in A Streetcar Named Desire and Brick in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof are guilt-ridden, pathological, sensitive, and alienated from the mainstream society. The plight of these two alienated individuals is intensified, when people consider Blanche’s tragedy self-made, her fate doomed, and Brick good-for-nothing.
With the plight as the focus, the surface structures of Streetcar and Cat share a similar deep structure, that is, the alienated individual is seeking for recognition and identity to extricate herself/himself from the plight. Traces of rhetoric are hidden behind the narrative discourse chosen to render the plight, since the cogency of discourse, i.e. rhetoric, is realized through narrative. Rhetorical narratology focuses on how the narrative works. Hitherto, little attention has been devoted to how the narrative discourse of the plight achieves its persuasiveness in academia. Few researches are on Blanche and Brick’s plight from the rhetorical narrative perspective. Based on the narrative communication model, the theoretical framework, a hypothetical reading experiment is conducted to track how the playwright arouses audience’s cognitive and emotional responses through the dynamic movement of narrative text and that of audience’s participation, shedding light on how the plight in two Pulitzer-Prize winning plays has received great social and critical acclaim.
The text and the playwright anticipate audience’s participation in plight depicting. The audience participate in the narrative progression, and become more and more conscious of their concern for Blanche’s plight with loaded past and tormenting present, and for Brick’s predicament in searching for truth and identity in a world full of mendacity. The parallels and disparities of two progressions are viewed against social context to detect implications. Blanche and Brick’s efforts to reverse their tragic fate are futile, largely due to the destructive powers of social conventions. The disparity lies in the denouement: Blanche is routed despite her desperate struggles, while Brick’s fate is not a complete tragedy because of Maggie’s help. The disparity suggests an implicit message, or rather, one feasible and possible way for alienated individuals to avoid their doomed fate, that is, people’s support and assistance. By garnering audience’s attention and compassion, and then conveying the implicit mess... |
