纵观菲利普·罗斯一生的创作,他对身体叙事十分重视,许多作品都是身体叙事的典范之作。性爱叙事、衰老叙事、疾病叙事和死亡叙事是罗斯身体叙事的四个主要方面。从这四大基石出发探讨存在、伦理、身份这三个相互关联的维度可以比较全面、深刻地理解罗斯的创作。罗斯通过身体叙事,抒发了存在主义意义上对个体存在的关怀与悲悯,展现了一种现代自由伦理,书写了现代人所遭受的身份困境及如何重建身份主体。罗斯的身体叙事受卡夫卡、弗洛伊德等的影响,体现出强烈的现代性,也是作者对自由的追求和艺术上求真的表征。
In all his life’s writing, Philip Roth lays emphasis on corporeal narrative and many of his works are of classical corporeal narration. His corporeal narrative includes sex narrative, aging narrative, disease narrative and death narrative, from which a study on being, ethic, and identity can help us fully and completely understand Roth’s writing. Through corporeal narrative, Roth expresses his caring of and sympathy with human’s being, a free ethic, contemporary people’s identity dilemma, and probes how to rebuild identity. Roth’s corporeal narrative is influenced by Kafka, Freud and has strong features of modernity. His works is an embodiment of his pursuit for freedom and truth.
