摘要

马克·安东尼·贾曼(Mark Anthony Jarman)笔下的角色往往穷困潦倒,徘徊不定。运用奇迹理论,本文认为奇迹在贾曼的许多故事中起着关键作用,这些故事的特点不是叙事或心理上的结束,而是人物在思考他们生活中的命运时的一种奇迹感。在简要地考虑了贾曼在加拿大文学中的作用,包括他对短篇小说形式的创新方法,以及他作为一个有影响力但经常被忽视的作家的奇怪地位之后,这篇文章开始讨论奇迹在他的作品中发挥作用的各种方式,无论是作为动词还是作为状态。贾曼笔下的人物经常处于怀疑之中,而这种怀疑的行为将我们带入了他们飘忽不定、自我反思的心灵。然而,也有奇迹般的奇迹感。贾曼的叙述者在他们周围的世界中找到了乐观主义,这要归功于不可能之美的闪光。因此,奇迹具有至关重要的结构功能。

Narrating Wonder in Mark Anthony Jarman’s Stories
Mark Anthony Jarman’s characters are often down and out, and often wandering and wondering. Using theories of wonder, this essay argues that wonder plays a key role in many of Jarman’s stories—stories that are marked not by narrative or psychological closure, but by a sense of wonder as characters muse on their lot in life. After briefly considering Jarman’s role within Canadian literature, including his innovative approaches to the short story form, and his odd status as an influential yet often ignored writer, the essay moves to a discussion of the various ways that wonder is at play in his works, both as a verb and a state. Jarman’s characters are frequently in doubt, and the act of wondering takes us into their drifting, self-reflecting minds. However, there is also the sense of wonder as the miraculous. Jarman’s narrators find optimism in the world around them, thanks to flashes of the beauty of the unlikely. Wonder, thus, has a crucial structural function.

期刊介绍: Text Matters: A Journal of Literature, Theory and Culture, based at the University of Łódź, is an international and interdisciplinary journal, which seeks to engage in contemporary debates in the humanities by inviting contributions from literary and cultural studies intersecting with literary theory, gender studies, history, philosophy, and religion. The journal focuses on textual realities, but contributions related to art, music, film and media studies addressing the text are also invited. Submissions in English should relate to the key issues delineated in calls for articles which will be placed on the website in advance. The journal also features reviews of recently published books, and interviews with writers and scholars eminent in the areas addressed in Text Matters. Responses to the articles are more than welcome so as to make the journal a forum of lively academic debate. Though Text Matters derives its identity from a particular region, central Poland in its geographic position between western and eastern Europe, its intercontinental advisory board of associate editors and internationally renowned scholars makes it possible to connect diverse interpretative perspectives stemming from culturally specific locations. Text Matters: A Journal of Literature, Theory and Culture is prepared by academics from the Institute of English Studies with considerable assistance from the Institute of Polish Studies and German Philology at the University of Łódź. The journal is printed by Łódź University Press with financial support from the Head of the Institute of English Studies. It is distributed electronically by Sciendo. Its digital version published by Sciendo is the version of record. Contributions to Text Matters are peer reviewed (double-blind review).
