摘要
本章主要探讨小说阅读对游客如何将美国西部想象成一个真实的和虚构的空间所起的作用。它通过三部著名的小说考察了西部旅行的神话:《弗吉尼亚人》(Wister, 1902年)、《游侠》(Grey, 1952年)和《探索者》(Le May, 1954年)。这三个例子都告诉读者穿越到一个充满危险和转变可能性的边界。在详细分析这些叙述的过程中,本章试图建立一些向读者展示的核心承诺,这些承诺可能会影响他们未来的旅行动机和期望。
Frontier travel narratives: imagining the American West through novels.
Abstract
This chapter focuses on the role that reading novels might play in influencing how tourists imagine the American West as both a real and mythical space. It examines the myths of travel through the West through three well-known novels: The Virginian (Wister, 1902), The Dude Ranger (Grey, 1952), and The Searchers (Le May, 1954). All three instances tell the reader of crossing over into a frontier with possibilities of both danger and transformation. In analysing these narratives in detail, the chapter seeks to establish some of the core promises that are presented to the readers that may shape their future travel motivations and expectations.
