摘要

ABSTRACT: 法国办公室小说在强调公司生活中时间的不规则性和破坏性方面独树一帜。这种体裁的一个更为独特的方面是它对死亡和垂死的痴迷。本文将这两种痴迷结合在一起，提出了一个新概念--"死亡时间性"（necrotemporality）。死亡时间性是一种表达方式，在这种方式中，人们可以迫切地感受到时间是一种推动性的、腐蚀性的滑向毁灭的过程。有鉴于此，本文将亚历山大-拉克鲁瓦（Alexandre Lacroix）的《我不想工作》（L ' Homme qui aimait trop travailler）作为一部小说来解读，这部小说展现了当代法国事务小说中时间与死亡之间的纠葛。

The Necrotemporality of the Contemporary French Workplace: Death and Time in Alexandre Lacroix’s L ’ Homme qui aimait trop travailler

ABSTRACT: The French office novel is unique in emphasizing the irregular and destructive experience of time in corporate life. One of the more distinctive aspects of this genre is its obsession with death and dying. Treating these two obsessions together, this article introduces a new concept, necrotemporality . Necrotemporality is a mode for conveying the urgent ways in which time may be felt as a propulsive, corrosive slide towards annihilation. With this in mind, the article reads Alexandre Lacroix’s L ’ Homme qui aimait trop travailler as a novel that illustrates the entanglements between time and death in contemporary French fiction d’affaires .
