凯蒂虽然是福克纳《喧哗与骚动》中的中心人物,但在多视角的叙事中,她却只是一个影子式的存在,并没有自己的意识或声音。学界对凯蒂问题的讨论往往出自比较偏执的理论预设和伦理立场。用拉康的理论模型来分析小说的叙事结构,可以将凯蒂问题改写成关于欲望的失去与表征的主题,通过追踪叙事生产、流通、接受的过程,揭示作者对人物凯蒂的叙事意义进行控制的企图。 Although Kitty is the central figure in Faulkner’s The Sound and the Fury, she has only a shadowy existence and no self-awareness or voice in multi-perspective narration. The academic discussion of Katie often comes from the paranoid theoretical preconditions and ethical positions. Using Lacan’s theoretical model to analyze the narrative structure of the novel, we can rewrite Katie’s theme as the subject of the loss and characterization of desire. By tracking the process of narrative production, circulation and acceptance, we can reveal the narrative meaning of the character Katie Control of the attempt.
