摘要

摘要:本文认为，美国战争文学以民族主义和排他性叙事为基础，不足以应对全球化战争的复杂性。菲尔-克莱的《传教士》是一部全球战争小说，它借鉴了全球小说的理论，关注复杂系统中的个人行动，强调了对混乱和突发事件的接受如何促成新的责任观念，以及如何颠覆 "战斗员 "和 "战争故事 "的范畴。克莱迫使人们面对个人和共同的罪责，将战争概念化为一个牵连的过程，为在全球系统中采取合乎道德的地方行动奠定了基础。

War's Implications: Missionaries and the Global War Novel

Abstract:

This article argues that US war literature hinges on nationalistic, exclusionary narratives that are inadequate for the complexities of globalized warfare. Drawing on theories of the global novel, with its focus on individual action within complex systems, this piece considers Phil Klay’s Missionaries as a global war novel that foregrounds how an embrace of chaos and contingency enables new ideas of responsibility and destabilizes the categories “combatant” and “war story.” Klay forces a confrontation with individual and shared culpability, conceptualizing war as a process of implication, laying the groundwork for ethical local action within global systems.

期刊介绍： From its inception, Studies in the Novel has been dedicated to building a scholarly community around the world-making potentialities of the novel. Studies in the Novel started as an idea among several members of the English Department of the University of North Texas during the summer of 1965. They determined that there was a need for a journal “devoted to publishing critical and scholarly articles on the novel with no restrictions on either chronology or nationality of the novelists studied.” The founding editor, University of North Texas professor of contemporary literature James W. Lee, envisioned a journal of international scope and influence. Since then, Studies in the Novel has staked its reputation upon publishing incisive scholarship on the canon-forming and cutting-edge novelists that have shaped the genre’s rich history. The journal continues to break new ground by promoting new theoretical approaches, a broader international scope, and an engagement with the contemporary novel as a form of social critique.
