摘要
摘要:在这篇文章中,我分析了查尔斯-狄更斯的《艰难时世》中路易莎-格拉德格林德的想象力和情感内部生活的进展。我将加斯东-巴赫拉德(Gaston Bachelard)在《空间诗学》(The Poetics of Space,1958)中关于想象力与建筑空间之间内在关系的理论与卡桑德拉-法尔克(Cassandra Falke)在《爱与阅读现象学》(The Phenomenology of Love and Reading,2016)中关于通过阅读文学作品学习移情的理论方法结合起来,从而建立了一个批判性框架。然后,这一框架说明了狄更斯在整部小说中利用家庭空间引导读者体验路易莎的内心疗愈和发展。我认为,狄更斯希望他的读者在路易莎的故事结束时相信,通过阅读文学作品,这种内心的完整对他们来说也是可能和可以实现的。
"What Does it Matter?": Reading Within Architectural Spaces in Dickens's Hard Times
Abstract:
In this article, I analyze the progression of Louisa Gradgrind's imaginative and emotional interior life in Charles Dickens's Hard Times. I integrate Gaston Bachelard's theory of the intrinsic relationship between imagination and architectural spaces in The Poetics of Space (1958) with Cassandra Falke's theoretical approach to learning empathy through reading literature in The Phenomenology of Love and Reading (2016) in order to create a critical framework. This framework then illustrates Dickens's use of domestic spaces to guide his readers experientially through Louisa's interior healing and development throughout the novel. I argue that Dickens desires his readers to believe by the end of Louisa's story that this inner wholeness is also possible and achievable for them through reading literature.
