科马克·麦卡锡的《骏马》继承又超越了美国西部小说的传统模式。小说一方面塑造出符合美国民众审美期待的西部牛仔,复述沉淀于美国民族集体无意识中的“边疆神话”和“天定命运”;另一方面又以西部情结为依托,编织潜文本批判美国的帝国主义意识形态和政治倾向。麦卡锡借牛仔少年梦碎他乡隐喻帝国神话的穷途末路,旨在修正民族“情感结构”的不合理性,这些深刻的理念体现出作家反帝国主义书写的姿态和关注社会政治批评的旨归。
The succession of Comac McCarthy’s “horse” goes beyond the traditional pattern of American western novels. On the one hand, the novel shapes the western cowboy that conforms to the American people’s aesthetic expectation, and retests the “border myth” and “fate” of the collective unconsciousness of the United States; on the other hand, The text criticizes the American imperialist ideology and political orientation. McCarthy uses the cowboy boy to dream the dead end of his metaphorical empire myth, aimed at amending the unreasonableness of the ethnic “emotional structure”. These profound ideas reflect the writer’s anti-imperialist writing attitude and attention to social and political criticism.
