摘要

几十年来,苏格兰文学创作的人物与苏格兰民族在其历史进程中所经历的绝望和自卑的气氛非常吻合。苏格兰文学以身份问题为核心,表现出创伤性人格、双重人格和分裂人格的频繁出现。在苏格兰历史的力量中,这些主人公受到了创伤,象征着苏格兰令人瞩目的传统,即绝望、自卑感和无力感。然而,仔细审视当代苏格兰女性写作,可以为探索身份提供一个新的视角。我们的方法解释了角色所提供的讽刺和幽默的作用。不协调/创伤vs.讽刺/的事实为肯尼迪和加洛韦在情感满足vs.孤立、女权主义vs.家庭期望等对立概念的光照下,对身份的双重本质进行深刻的探索创造了基础。因此,我们在“加里多尼亚多聚”框架内的研究旨在展示讽刺成分的认知研究如何以及以何种方式有助于揭示身份危机和生存的不同方面。运用认知隐喻、夸张手法、比较手法等,揭示了反语表达的特点。文章认为,反讽是基于作者对世界的想象,具有显性和隐性的双重含义,这就解释了反讽与现实的冲突。反讽是一种多层次的认知和话语现象,旨在突出思维与现实的碰撞,是上述作者作品中的一个重要方面。

In search of identity: trauma and irony in the cognitive light
For many decades Scottish Literature has produced characters that fitted well within the atmosphere of despair and inferiority undergone by the Scottish nation in the course of its history. The question of identity being at its heart, Scottish Literature has revealed a specific feature consisting in the frequent occurrence of traumatized, dual and split personalities. These are protagonists who in the force of Scotland’s history are traumatized and symbolize Scotland’s remarkable tradition of despair and the feeling of inferiority and powerlessness. However, a closer look at the contemporary Scottish female writing permits to take a new angle for exploring identity. Our approach accounts for the role of irony and humor that the characters provide. The fact of incongruity / trauma vs. irony/ creates a basis for insightful explorations of the dual essence of identity in A.L. Kennedy’s and J. Galloway’s writing in the light of such counter-concepts as emotional fulfillment vs. isolation, feminist vs. domestic expectations. Thus, our research within the frames of “Caledonian polysyzygy” aims at showcasing how and in what ways the cognitive study of the ironic component can contribute to the revelation of different aspects of identity crisis and survival. The features of the expression of irony are brought out with the help of cognitive metaphor, hyperbole, comparison, etc. It is argued that irony is based on the author's vision of the world and is characterized by the presence of explicit and hidden meanings which accounts for the clash between the vision and the reality. It is established that irony, a crucial aspect in the works of the mentioned authors, is a multi-layered cognitive and discursive phenomenon that aims to highlight the collision between thinking and reality.
