Abstract

The analysis of three recent British novels: Neil Gaiman’s Neverwhere (1996), Iain Banks’ Transition (2009) and China Miéville’s The City & the City (2009) strives to uncover structural parallelisms and the inherent evolution in their development, plot structuring and presentation. It is centred on the exhibited relation to the structure and general mechanics of space. The interpretations of space are based on Foucault’s heterotopias, the rhizome of Deleuze and Guattari, and Certeau’s absent space, which show how the active force of space and the complexity of the genre identity are interconnected, and how they interact with the social and political engagement of the works and their wider cultural and social context. These seminal works of the British Boom provide a rich source material for an outline of the process of interplay of genre identity and political engagement, and an overview of how this interplay affects their plot, style and the protagonists.
Gaiman, Banks和misamuville -混合空间和类型
本文通过对尼尔·盖曼的《Neverwhere》(1996)、伊恩·班克斯的《Transition》(2009)和中国·米姆萨维尔的《City & The City》(2009)这三部英国小说的分析,试图揭示结构上的相似性以及它们在发展、情节结构和表现上的内在演变。它集中于展示与空间结构和一般力学的关系。对空间的解读以福柯的异托位、德勒兹和瓜塔里的根茎、塞托的缺席空间为基础,展示了空间的积极力量和类型认同的复杂性是如何相互联系的,以及它们如何与作品的社会和政治参与及其更广泛的文化和社会背景相互作用。这些英国繁荣时期的开创性作品为流派认同和政治参与相互作用的过程提供了丰富的素材,并概述了这种相互作用如何影响它们的情节、风格和主角。
