Abstract

This article attempts to study a selection of short stories by the contemporary Canadian writer Alice Munro (1931–) focusing on the theme of childhood. It examines the representation of childhood as remembered by adult narrators. The research approaches the stories through the theories of narratology and psychoanalysis. The concepts of the narrator in addition to Freud's theorisation about childhood memories are especially utilised to explore the childhood memories of the adult narrators. The stories selected for this study are ‘The Ottawa Valley’ (1974), ‘Chaddeleys and Flemings’ (1979), ‘The Progress of Love’ (1985) and ‘The Eye’ (2012) with adult narrators.

爱丽丝·门罗短篇小说集中的回忆建构童年
本文试图研究加拿大当代作家爱丽丝·门罗(Alice Munro, 1931 -)以童年为主题的短篇小说选集。它考察了成人叙述者对童年记忆的再现。本研究运用叙事学和精神分析理论对故事进行分析。除了弗洛伊德关于童年记忆的理论之外,叙述者的概念还被特别用于探索成年叙述者的童年记忆。本研究选择的故事是《渥太华山谷》(1974年)、《查德莱斯和弗莱明斯》(1979年)、《爱的进程》(1985年)和《眼睛》(2012年),这些故事都是由成人叙述者讲述的。
