Abstract

Abstract:In this essay, Ian Marshall analyzes Ernest Hemingway’s writing methodology in his short fiction, paying particular attention to constructions of labor, landscape, and African American male identity. Marshall argues that Hemingway was incapable of imagining a black working-class revolution, or a racially unified working-class revolution in the United States. This inability shapes his characters actions, particularly George, the main African American character in “The Porter,” and contributes to our understanding of revolutionary and social class consciousness in the U.S. as presented in Hemingway’s fiction.
海明威《波特》中的种族与革命建构
摘要:在这篇文章中,伊恩-马歇尔分析了欧内斯特-海明威短篇小说的写作方法,尤其关注劳动、风景和非裔美国男性身份的建构。马歇尔认为,海明威无法想象美国黑人工人阶级革命或种族统一的工人阶级革命。这种无能塑造了他笔下人物的行为,尤其是《波特》中的主要非裔美国人乔治,有助于我们理解海明威小说中展现的美国革命和社会阶级意识。
