摘要

摘要:本文分析了郭小璐的两部作品:她的处女作《恋人简明汉英词典》(2007年)和她的最新小说《恋人话语》(2020年)，并通过关注郭小璐对零碎的“词典”形式的使用，纠正了对郭小璐创造性地参与语言和翻译的阅读的批评偏见。我认为欧陆哲学和批判理论为她的作品提供了一套意想不到的正式模板和互文。我进一步认为，形式和互文暗示允许郭玩弄同义词、重复和隐藏意义的想法，对她自己作为全球英语创意经济中的移民文化生产者的处境进行复杂的经济和政治批判。

The Work of Art in the Age of Transnational Reproduction: Form and Intertextuality in Xiaolu Guo's A Concise Chinese-English Dictionary for Lovers and A Lover's Discourse

Abstract:This article analyzes two of Xiaolu Guo's works: her debut novel, A Concise Chinese-English Dictionary for Lovers (2007), and her most recent fiction, at the time of writing, A Lover's Discourse (2020), and redresses a critical bias in readings of Guo's creative engagement with language and translation by concentrating instead on Guo's use of fragmentary 'lexicographic' form. I suggest that continental philosophy and critical theory provide an unexpected set of formal templates and intertexts for her work. I argue further that form and intertextual suggestion allow Guo to play with ideas of synonymy, duplication, and concealed meaning, to articulate a sophisticated economic and political critique of her own situation as a migrant cultural producer in the global anglophone creative economy.

期刊介绍： From its inception, Studies in the Novel has been dedicated to building a scholarly community around the world-making potentialities of the novel. Studies in the Novel started as an idea among several members of the English Department of the University of North Texas during the summer of 1965. They determined that there was a need for a journal “devoted to publishing critical and scholarly articles on the novel with no restrictions on either chronology or nationality of the novelists studied.” The founding editor, University of North Texas professor of contemporary literature James W. Lee, envisioned a journal of international scope and influence. Since then, Studies in the Novel has staked its reputation upon publishing incisive scholarship on the canon-forming and cutting-edge novelists that have shaped the genre’s rich history. The journal continues to break new ground by promoting new theoretical approaches, a broader international scope, and an engagement with the contemporary novel as a form of social critique.
