论《雾都孤儿》中的食物-权力管控机制与主体性建构
An Analysis of the Food-Power Mechanism and the Construction of Subjectivity in Oliver Twist
摘要: 狄更斯的名作《雾都孤儿》兼具流浪汉文学和成长小说的元素，讲述了奥利弗九岁被送入济贫院，然后被遣往棺材铺当学徒，随后逃到伦敦误入贼窝，后来有幸被好心人收留，并得以查明身世，最终过上幸福生活的故事。饮食在奥利弗探寻身世之途的各个阶段分别扮演着不同的角色，而主人公在不同情境中对待食物的态度也不尽相同。笔者采用当下西方文学理论界新兴的饮食研究视角，并借助文化批评的相关理论，通过分析小说中随着情节推进而不断变换的饮食场景，揭示主人公奥利弗的饮食活动与他竭力冲破被边缘化的文化身份和实现个人主体性之间的紧密联系，进而发掘饮食背后的文化符号和人类情感。
Abstract: Characterized by picaresque novel and bildungsroman, Charles Dickens’s masterpiece Oliver Twist narrates the story that ranges from Oliver’s being sent to the workhouse at the age of nine, through his being delivered to the coffin shop as an apprentice, to his escape to London and entry into the den, and then his being received by good-hearted people, discovering his identity and finally living a happy life. Food and drink play different roles in each stage of Oliver’s search for his real identity. The protagonist has diverse attitudes toward food in different situations. Adopting the emerging perspective of food studies in western literary theory and in virtue of the theory of cultural criticism, the authors try to analyze the eating scenes which change as the plots progress in the novel in order to reveal the close relationships between the protagonist Oliver’s eating practices and his efforts to break through his marginalized cultural identity and realize his individual subjectivity. The cultural symbols and human emotions behind eating practices are then unraveled as well.
