摘要

摘要:斯坦贝克的作品通常被视为双重棱镜:在20世纪30年代，他关注群体行为，而在第二次世界大战之后，他关注个人良心和意识。然而，如果考虑到他在1955年的一篇文章中所作的尖锐评论，这种观点就会发生变化:“我相信人是双重的，既是群体动物，同时又是个体。”我突然想到，在他实现第一个目标之前，他不可能成功地成为第二个目标。”本文认为，群体认同的意义和影响是他作为一名参与政治的作家的核心关注点。

John Steinbeck's Participatory Politics, 1936–1968

Abstract:Steinbeck's body of work has often been viewed through a binary prism: in the 1930s he was concerned with group behavior and after World War II with individual conscience and consciousness. That perspective shifts, however, if one considers a trenchant comment he made in a 1955 essay: "I believe that man is a double thing, a group animal and at the same time an individual. And it occurs to me that he cannot successfully be the second until he has fulfilled the first." This essay argues that the meaning and impact of group identity is the central concern of his career as a politically engaged writer.
