素有“恐怖伊恩”之称的英国当代作家伊恩·麦克尤恩1978年所著小说《水泥花园》讲述了在失去正常社会秩序和规范的家庭荒原中,未成年孩子们经历的痛苦、无序、混沌的成长。运用巴赫金的狂欢化理论解读《水泥花园》,认为笑是孩子们从自我放逐走向成熟的重要线索。孩子们标志性的三次狂欢式的笑既是对权力交替的庆祝,又是对父母权威的嘲讽;既是对迎接新生的礼赞,又是对过去身份的告别。以笑为依托获得成长的孩子们,并非如评论界所言在伦理缺失的荒原上胡作非为,而是在用狂欢的庆典争取欢乐的自由,用笑声的养分培育出水泥缝中的生命之花。
Ian McEwan, a contemporary British author who is known as “Terror Ian,” describes in 1978 the “Garden of Cement,” a book about the experiences of young children in famine wilderness that lost normal social order and norms Painful, disorderly, chaotic growth. Using Bakhtin’s carnivalization theory to interpret “Cement Garden”, it is considered that laughter is an important clue to children from self-exile to maturity. The children’s iconic three-part carnival laughter not only serves as a celebration of alternation of power, but also serves as a mockery of parental authority; it is both a tribute to the newborn and a goodbye to the past. Children growing up with laughter are not free from the joys and sorrows of gratitude for the joy of freedom, as the critics put it, in the wilderness lacking in ethics. They use the laughter of nutrients to cultivate the flower of life in cement joints .
