摘要

本文着重于在21世纪之交出版的英国和加拿大小说选集中对第一次世界大战老兵的描写。作者使用了各种手段来描述创伤现象:从扰乱当下的闪回,到幸存者的内疚、噩梦和自杀,再到aporia和表征的崩溃。文章中使用的比较方法突出了民族差异,但也表明,徒劳和创伤的话语为传达第一次世界大战的苦难提供了一个跨民族的框架。因此,尽管创伤导致了社会阉割和权力丧失,但在这里,创伤是批判1914-1918年冲突灾难性后果和集体记忆抹去的工具。正在考虑的英国和加拿大小说再现了创伤情节,探索了1914-1918年冲突中鲜为人知的方面,同时解决了我们对当下最紧迫的焦虑,如社会边缘化、另类和孤独的死亡。

Traumatic Re-enactments: Portraits of Veterans in Contemporary British and Canadian First World War Fiction
The paper focuses on the portrait of the First World War veterans in selected British and Canadian novels published at the turn of the twenty-first century. The authors use various means to depict the phenomenon of trauma: from flashbacks disrupting the present, through survivor guilt, nightmares and suicide, to aporia and the collapse of representation. The comparative approach used in the article highlights national differences, yet also shows that the discourse of futility and trauma provides a trasnational framework to convey the suffering of the First World War. As a result, although resulting in social castration and disempowerment, trauma serves here as a vehicle for a critique of the disastrous aftermath of the 1914-1918 conflict and the erasures of collective memory. Re-enacting traumatic plots, the British and Canadian novels under consideration explore little known facets of the 1914-1918 conflict, while simultaneously addressing some of our most pressing anxieties about the present, such as social marginalization, otherness, and lonely death.
