弗兰克·哈迪自从1950年发表第一部小说起,就与同时代小说家们格格不入,其中一个重要差异在于他公然宣称是共产主义者。不仅如此,他还在写作、媒体形象、公共行为中表现出对传统规约的桀骜不驯的无视和对官僚体制的藐视,这些使他被认为是澳大利亚文学中一个最具有挑战性和争议性的另类声音。他几乎全部的作品都是关于赌博与激进政治的主题,这些主题在澳大利亚批评家眼里地位并不高,因而他的作品也常常被贬损或低估。本文通过将哈迪作品中有关赌博的文字置于社会、政治、文化语境之中进行讨论,认为哈迪的作品所遭受的负面评价主要是由于他嵌入作品之中的意识形态结构。 One of the important differences that Frank Hardy has had since his first novel was published in 1950 is not unlike that of contemporary novelists, is that he has openly declared himself a communist. Not only that, he has also shown in his writing, media image, and public behavior the disrespectful disregard of traditional statutes and the contempt for the bureaucracy that make him one of the most challenging and controversial in Australian literature Alternative sound. Almost all of his work is on the subject of gambling and radical politics, which are not well regarded by Australian critics and whose works are often devalued or underestimated. This article discusses the imprint of Hardy’s work on gambling in social, political and cultural contexts, and concludes that the negative evaluation of Hardy’s work is mainly due to the ideological structure embedded in the works.
