摘要

新维多利亚主义是评论和小说写作中的一种流派,它通过聚焦两个不同的世纪,改变了我们对过去和现在的看法。新维多利亚主义植根于过去,又与现在紧密相连,由此产生了分析比较和另类创作作品。维多利亚时代的英国是工业革命的制高点;当当代读者和评论家追溯 21 世纪重大社会、经济和思想变革的影响和结果时,维多利亚时代的英国是欧洲工业变革的典范。这种情况为大量维多利亚时代和新维多利亚时代的小说选择背景提供了理由:在众多十九世纪的聚居地中,维多利亚时代的伦敦显得尤为突出。伦敦在时间和空间上都是一个设计好的地点,它在工业生产方面取得了巨大成功,成为一个榜样,但同时也具有城市化带来的沉重负担等特点,表现为人口过多、生活和工作条件肮脏、不人道;它展示了工业化时期的弊端。历史文献和文学作品描绘了工业化的社会和制度弊端,这些弊端体现在十九世纪的定居点和场所:工厂、救济院、贫民窟、医院、精神病院和殖民地。通过记录来自社会各个阶层、各个年龄、性别和种族、祖国和殖民地的个人和社会故事,来衡量特定时期的发展。本文从主要影响二十世纪上半叶的哲学出发,论证了当代理论对空间的感知、再现和生产日益增长的兴趣。彼得-凯里的《杰克-马格斯》是对查尔斯-狄更斯《远大前程》的新维多利亚式改写,本文旨在根据异托邦和第三空间的理论,强调归属、身份和他者概念之间的一系列关系。

Victorian London, England and Englishness in Peter Carey’s Jack Maggs
Neo-Victorianism is described as a genre in critical and fictional writing which alters our perspective of past and present by bringing two different centuries into focus. From a new genre which is rooted in the past and strongly attached to the present, arise analytical comparisons and alternative-creative works. Victorian England is a vantage point for the Industrial Revolution; when contemporary readers and critics trace effects and results of major social, economic and intellectual changes in the twenty-first century back to their source, Victorian England appears as a model for the industrial shift in Europe. This situation justifies the choice of setting for a great number of Victorian and Neo-Victorian novels: among numerous nineteenth-century settlements, Victorian London becomes prominent. London is a designed spot in time and space which is laden with success in industrial production to become a role model, but at the same time with its characteristics such as the heavy burden of urbanisation, showing itself in over-populated places, filthy and inhumane living and working conditions; it exhibits the downside of the industrialisation period. Social and institutional vices of industrialism are portrayed in historical documents as well as literary works in settlements and places of the nineteenth-century: factories, workhouses, slums, hospitals, asylums, and colonies. Period-specific developments are measured through recorded personal and social stories, coming from every class of society, belonging to every age, gender and ethnicity, in the motherland as well as colonies. Moving from the philosophies influencing mainly the first half of the twentieth century, it is argued that contemporary theories show a growing interest on perception, representation and production of space. This article aims to emphasize the set of relations between the concepts of belonging, identity and otherness in the light of the theories on heterotopias and third spaces in Peter Carey’s Jack Maggs, which is a Neo-Victorian rewriting of Charles Dickens’ Great Expectations.
