摘要

摘要在爱丽丝·芒罗的短篇小说《维度》中,主人公多莉在孩子被谋杀后的噩梦中转换。她的丈夫Lloyd,凶手,被关押在一个精神病罪犯的监狱里,他的疯狂可以被解读为“与那些被理解为神经质或精神病的人明显不同”。1 Lloyd显然忍受着某种“自恋危机”(Kristeva,14岁),他的动力和冲动紊乱,他的行为受到“厌恶、,abjection’(Kristeva,11)。蒙罗开始了她的故事,多丽第三次去看望她的对手;前两个他“拒绝见她”,2在这些叙事结构中起作用的是空间、心理和潜在的宣泄动力。Doree探索了一个包含着可怕存在的边界,盘旋着,仿佛被锁定在重复强迫的余波中。她正在寻找一种麻醉创伤的方法,同时寻找打破她年长得多的丈夫如此熟练(和有毒)构建的意象的方法。

‘Know Thyself’? Borderlinearity in Alice Munro’s ‘Dimension’
ABSTRACT In Alice Munro’s short story, ‘Dimension,’ the protagonist Doree shifts through the nightmare aftermath of her children’s murder. Her husband Lloyd, the murderer, has been incarcerated in a facility for the criminally insane, and his madness can be read as ‘clearly distinguishable from those understood as neurotic or psychotic’.1 Lloyd demonstrably endures some kind of ‘narcissistic crisis’ (Kristeva, 14) and, his drives and impulses disordered, his actions are regulated instead by ‘repugnance, disgust, abjection’ (Kristeva, 11). Munro begins her story with Doree making a third trip to visit her antagonist; the first two he has ‘refused to see her’,2 and at work within these narrative structures are spatial, psychic, and potentially cathartic drives. Doree explores a boundary containing a monstrous presence, circling as if locked in the afterwardsness of repetition compulsion. She is at once searching for a means to anesthetise her trauma while seeking for ways to shatter those imago her much older husband has so expertly (and toxically) constructed.
