文坛多面手苏珊·桑塔格的文学创作与理论著述互为观照,具有内在的一致性。“静默美学”是其批评体系的核心思想之一,既指涉个体的封闭性人格,又暗含解放自我、救赎他人的“休克疗法”。在《卡尔兄弟》与《床上的爱丽斯》两个剧本中,桑塔格构建了“静默”躯体,并将静默视为一种隐喻,对权力发起挑战。剧本直指世界的荒谬,强调过度关注以期打破静默实则是对“存在”的侵扰,静默可以成为一种疗救的手段,在反思与否定中实现对既往价值的重估。 Literary all-rounder Susan Sontag’s literary creation and theoretical writings are inter-related and have inherent consistency. “Silent Aesthetics ” is one of the core ideas of its criticism system, referring to both the closed personality and implicit “shock therapy ” which liberates oneself and redeems others. In two plays, “Karl Brothers” and “Alice on the Bed,” Sontag constructs the “silent” body and uses silence as a metaphor to challenge power. Script directed at the absurdity of the world, emphasizing that excessive attention with a view to breaking the silence is actually on the “existence” intrusion, silence can become a means of treatment, in the reflection and negation of the revaluation of past values.
