摘要
随着Cathy Caruth的《无人知晓的经历:创伤、叙事和历史》一书的出版,创伤研究的出现使人们对分析文学作品中的创伤经历产生了极大的兴趣。文学创伤被视为一种媒介,是通过叙事和小说以焦虑情节的形式解读创伤和创伤的替代品。本研究旨在分析Eka Kurniawan的小说《Seperti Dendam,Rindu Harus Dibayar Tuntas》中的创伤经历。这项研究本质上是描述性的、定性的。本研究的对象是千鸟丸小说中的创伤事件和经历。通过记录和强调相关创伤事件来收集数据,并使用Cathy Caruth的创伤和记忆概念进行分析。结果表明,小说中的人物对创伤的反应是不同的,比如有侵入性的想法,通过倒叙和梦境重新体验创伤,回避,以及有负面的感觉和情绪。小说表明,社会文化环境可以成为创伤的最大来源,也可以通过同情和理解为受创伤者提供治愈过程。人物的创伤经历是由一个不知名的神一样的叙述者讲述的。通过对人物的刻画,Kurniawan揭示了痛苦、折磨和创伤经历如何引导人物获得高度的自尊、自知之明和对社会现实的哲学理解。
