摘要
本文主要研究Maria valsamria Rezende的小说《Quarenta dias》(2014)中的消费表现。从齐格蒙特·鲍曼(Zygmunt Bauman)在《消费生活》(2007)中对消费资本主义附带损害的观点出发,从西尔维亚诺·圣地亚哥(Silviano Santiago)在《O cosmopolitismo do pobre》(2004)中对贫困的思考出发,我认为雷泽德对消费社会中低收入(或无收入)消费者的隐形性提出了批评。我展示的是,通过《夸伦塔·迪亚斯》的主人公在她女儿的消费主义世界和她在阿雷格里港街头漫步时遇到的那些人的生存经验之间所走的道路,雷森德让人们看到了巴西社会的某些部分,比如东北移民和无家可归的人。在这条道路上,主人公既拒绝消费,又重视消费,这取决于消费的强度和社会后果的范围。
This article focuses on the representation of consumption in Maria Valéria Rezende’s novel Quarenta dias (2014). Departing from Zygmunt Bauman’s perspective on the collateral damages of consumer capitalism in Consuming Life (2007) and from Silviano Santiago’s considerations about poverty in “O cosmopolitismo do pobre” (2004), I argue that Rezende provides a critique to the invisibility of low-income (or no-income) consumers in consumer society. I demonstrate that, through the path that the protagonist of Quarenta dias follows between her daughter’s consumerist world and the survival experience of those that she encounters in the streets of Porto Alegre while wandering through the city, Rezende makes visible certain segments of Brazilian society, such as Northeastern migrants and homeless people. While on this path, the protagonist both rejects and values consumption, depending on its intensity and the reach of its social consequences.
