摘要
美国作家托马斯.品钦的《万有引力之虹》是后现代主义小说的经典作品。利奥塔认为后现代主义的根本特征就是对“元叙事”的怀疑。品钦在小说中以“不确定”的后现代叙事对元叙事所表述的绝对理性秩序提出了质疑。作家通过用混沌来对抗秩序,用天性来瓦解理性,用“鄙俗”来蔑视权利,把一个异质性、多元化的后现代世界呈现在了读者眼前。
Thomas Pynchon＇ s Gravity＇s Rainbow is regarded as a classic postmodemist text. According Lyotard, ＂postmodern＂ is defined as ＂incredulity toward metanarratives. ＂With ＂indeterminacy＂ of postmodern narratives, Pynchon questions the absolute rationality and order expressed in metanarratives. He employs chaos to confront order; take natural forces to undermine rationality; and uses vulgarity to distain the power. By deconstructing metanarratives, Pynchon presents the reader a postmodern world of heterogeneity and multiplicity.
