内容摘要

《五号屠场》是美国后现代作家小库尔特·冯内古特最著名的一部作品，自1969年出版以来受到批评界的广泛关注，也因此为冯内古特在美国文学界赢得一席之地。纵观历年对《五号屠场》的研究文献，不难发现，很少有人从元小说理论切入对其进行研究，更不用说对《五号屠场》中具有元小说特色的叙事技巧和主题思想的详尽阐述。因此，本文试用元小说理论解读《五号屠场》的独特魅力。本文以后现代元小说创作理论为依据，详细阐述了《五号屠场》中包括作者闯入，互文性与戏仿，以及不确定性在内的元小说叙事技巧，进而分析了在《五号屠场》中分别由这三个叙事技巧引出的三个元小说主题。第一，作者闯入揭露了《五号屠场》的虚构本质。第二，互文技巧和戏仿技巧的应用混淆了现实与虚构的界限，引发人们重新思考现实与虚构的关系。第三，《五号屠场》的不确定性反映了一种在后现代语境下读者与作者的新关系。通过上述分析本文试图证明《五号屠场》是一部典型元小说，其创作过程是冯内古特以小说创作的形式对元小说理论的展示。冯内古特借《五号屠场》和其他元小说作家一同树立了小说写作的新模式，在号称“文学枯竭”的时期为未来小说的发展开辟了更广阔的空间。
