摘要
摘要:查尔斯·奥尔森的《呼唤我以实玛利》(1947)重新定义了梅尔维尔学术、美国研究和美国诗歌。通过探索梅尔维尔的经验和“空间”的诗学,以将捕鲸业作为美国边疆的历史而闻名,批评主要是负面地解读奥尔森的开创性空间概念,作为奥尔森的神话,地理和话语扩展,项目和记录的空洞,可接受和女性化的领域;然而,在这种背景下所缺乏的物质的、有形的、反叛的空间形式恰恰是强调Call Me Ishmael的主题。本文通过介绍《呼唤我以实玛利》中的空间主体,通过书中对空间的再叙事,相应的排版或触觉间距,以及并行的诗歌,揭示了一种肉体空间美学,它在《呼唤我以实玛利》的象征经济中浮出水面,并与之相对立。
The Body of Space in Charles Olson’s Call Me Ishmael
Abstract:Charles Olson’s Call Me Ishmael (1947) redirected Melville scholarship, American Studies, and American poetry. Known for historicizing the whaling industry as the American frontier, by exploring Melville’s experience and poetics of “Space,” criticism has largely read Olson’s seminal concept of space negatively, as an empty, receptive and feminized field which Olson’s mythology, geography, and discourse expands over, projects and inscribes; however, the material, corporeal, insurgent form of space found lacking in this context is precisely the topos underlining Call Me Ishmael. By introducing the body of space in Call Me Ishmael, through the book’s re-narrativization of space, corresponding typographical or haptographical spacing, and concurrent poetry, this article discloses an aesthetics of fleshly space surfacing within and against the symbolic economy of Call Me Ishmael.
