摘要

摘要:格雷厄姆·格林的短篇小说《地下室》(1936)及其改编电影《堕落的偶像》(1948)讲述了一个小男孩如何意识到他童年英雄的不可靠。尽管格林被抨击为一个中庸作家,但他的作品对20世纪中叶帝国性别角色的持久影响提出了重要的批评。这两部作品以一个小男孩的视角,批判了奥威尔式的体面男人是不相关的,是帝国主义的伪装,坚持认为这种形式的中产阶级英国男子气概的延续会导致个人异化和自我毁灭。

Behind Barriers, Living a Man's Life: Imperial Masculinity in Graham Greene's "The Basement Room" and The Fallen Idol
Abstract:Graham Greene's short story, "The Basement Room" (1936), and its later film adaptation, The Fallen Idol (1948), tell the story of how a young boy realizes the fallibility of his childhood hero. Although Greene has been lambasted as a middlebrow writer, his work offers an important critique of the lasting influence of imperial gender roles during the mid-twentieth century. Using the perspective of a young boy, the two works critique the Orwellian decent man as irrelevant and a façade for imperialism, insisting that the perpetuation of this form of middle-class English masculinity leads to individual alienation and self-destruction.
