摘要

摘要：《复仇女神》（2010），罗斯的瘟疫小说，呈现了一个充斥着“烧焦”和身体数据污渍的世界，而这些数据在其他地方只能识别罗斯的性格。触觉在一个着火的社区中爆发出充满活力和致命的感觉，因为复仇女神问，一旦身体物质被重建为有毒物质，其中心的精原细胞“小细胞”巴基·坎托如何与身体物质产生有意义的关系。本文认为，作为一部不稳定的现实主义小说，《复仇女神》批判性地反思了当人类被“揭开”为赤裸裸的数据时，虚构人物的命运。

"The Little Cell Called Your Life": The Scorch of Character and Bodily Data in Philip Roth's Nemesis

Abstract:Nemesis (2010), Roth's plague novel, presents a world glutted with the "scorches" and stains of bodily data that elsewhere singly identify Rothian character. Tactile sensations flare vibrant and deadly in a community on fire, as Nemesis asks how the "little cell" of protagonicity at its center, Bucky Cantor, can have a meaningful relationship with bodily matter once it is reconstrued as toxic. This article argues that as a destabilized realist novel, Nemesis reflects critically on the fate of fictive character when the human has been "unmasked" as naked data.
