摘要/Abstract

内容摘要： 本文拟考察托马斯·品钦小说《拍卖第四十九批》中加州重要的都市景观书写,聚焦作家笔下加州三大都市景观的形塑过程：都市模型、湖滨社区与都市中心。基于鲍德里亚的“超现实”理论,本文从“超现实”、“拟真”与“内爆”三个概念出发剖析上述都市景观,试图揭示该小说中加州“超现实”都市本质及其秘隐的消费主义意识形态与符码控制,由此展现都市人试图走出加州“超现实”都市景观地理迷宫的种种尝试与努力。

关键词: 《拍卖第四十九批》, 托马斯·品钦, 超现实, 都市景观

Abstract: This article intends to examine the narrative of Californian urban landscape in Thomas Pynchon’s novel The Crying of Lot 49, focusing on the three phases of the author’s representation: the city model, the lakeside community, and the empty city center. Based on Baudrillard’s theory of “Hyperreality”, it attempts to analyze the abovementioned urban landscapes in terms of the concepts of “hyperreality”, “simulation” and “implosion” so as to reveal the “hyperreal” nature of California’s city model and its covert ideology of consumerism and code control. Also, it intends to show how the urbanites’ various attempts and struggles to get out of the labyrinth of the “hyperreal” cityscape in California.

Key words: The Crying of Lot 49, Thomas Pynchon, Hyperreality, urban landscape
