Abstract

abstract:To obliterate history from any narrative model, you must flatten that model so that no temporal change is possible. One way to do this is to remove instances of conflict, another is to render conflict perpetual. The latter is the move made by Game of Thrones, a television drama treated here as an antiutopian text, a model of twenty-first century epic fantasy in its surrender not of morality but of historicity.
权力与痛苦在《权力的游戏》中的形态
摘要:要想从任何叙事模式中抹去历史,就必须将该模式扁平化,使其不可能发生时间上的变化。一种方法是删除冲突实例,另一种方法是使冲突永久化。权力的游戏》就是这样做的,这部电视剧在这里被视为反乌托邦文本,是二十一世纪史诗奇幻的典范,它放弃的不是道德,而是历史性。
