本文结合历史与文本,从城市研究的角度重新审视葆拉·马歇尔的三部小说,重点考察她笔下的褐砖房区,探讨她对以纽约为代表的美国现代城市发展所作的思考。本文认为,通过褐砖房区的历史变迁,马歇尔揭示并批判了美国城市空间所具有的种族化、阶级化和资本化实质,同时也在美国文学的版图上创造性地凸显了纽约布鲁克林的贝德福德-斯泰森特区,为自己在纽约文学领域赢得了一席之地。 Based on the history and the text, this paper reviews Paula Marshall ’s three novels from the perspective of urban studies, with a focus on her brown brick quarters and discusses her thoughts on the development of modern American cities represented by New York. This paper argues that through the historical vicissitudes of the brick and mortar houses, Marshall reveals and criticizes the racialization, classification and capitalization of urban space in the United States. At the same time, Marshall creatively highlights the characteristics of American urban space in Brooklyn, New York Derrick-Stansted District, won a place for himself in New York’s literature.
