《小世界》是英国当代小说家戴维·洛奇的“校园三部曲”之一,其小说根植于现实主义文学传统,采用新批评方法、结构主义观点以及巴赫金诗学观进行创作,在深入挖掘学院小说中体现的文学危机、文学理论危机和高等教育危机同时,凸显了作品对话性、复调性的艺术原则。小说在叙事视角、叙事结构、叙事技巧呈现出“去中心”或“拼凑模仿性”等狂欢化的艺术形式,鲜明体现了后现代主义文学特征。 “Little World” is one of the “Trilogy of the Campus” by British contemporary novelist David Lodge. His novel is rooted in the tradition of literary realism, adopts new criticisms, structuralism and Bakhtin’s poetics, While digging deep into the literary crisis, the crisis of literary theory and the crisis of higher education embodied in college novels, the artistic principle of dialogue and polyphony is emphasized. In narrative perspective, narrative structure and narrative skills show the carnival art form such as “going to center” or “piecemeal imitation”, which clearly shows the characteristics of postmodern literature.
