| Abstract: | 《心城》描寫主角馬修的邂逅戀情和著墨他平日對倫敦市景的冥想。兼具建築師專業和都市行人特質使他更能洞察倫敦，而其城市冥想和四位時代的敘述者交替更迭，《心城》編織出層層刮覆式和萬花筒般視界。若簡化看待交錯的今昔倫敦時空，《心城》不是被視為情節貧乏空有冥想，就是被冠上賴芙莉以往作品中貫有特色的印記─即強調歷史和記憶。因此本論文企圖利用馬修的城市經驗來重新檢視《心城》，並漸次引申城市論述中互為錯綜的三面向：現代性、空間和心靈。
本論文第一章說明賴芙莉的研究價值和生平、摘要小說、回顧評論，和闡述如何以城市經驗的三面向為研究重心。第二章探討《心城》的現代性面向，馬修扮演和修飾波特萊爾型和班雅明式的漫遊者(the flâneur)，以簡克斯提出的「步行方法論者」(walking methodologist)強化馬修和現代性的聯繫。第三章探討《心城》的空間面向，以傅柯的「異質空間」(heterotopias)和列斐伏爾的「空間生產」(production of space)討論馬修的空間經驗，而《心城》不僅是倫敦的城市文本並呈現特殊「時空壓縮」(time-space compression)型態的空間文本。第四章探討《心城》的心靈面向，以齊莫爾提出的「神經刺激的強化」(intensification of nervous stimulation)和班雅明對現代都市反省出的「震驚」(shock) 和「憂鬱」(melancholy)輔助論述城市和馬修的心靈互動，並指出馬修的心理狀態與四位倫敦歷史人物亦互相映照。希冀透過檢視《心城》能從中反省文學作品中的城市形象和城市經驗。
City of the Mind (hereinafter CM), Penelope Lively`s ninth novel (1991), is about Matthew Halland`s budding love story and his meditation on London. As an erudite walking architect, Matthew gives a portrait of a metropolis. Due to the textured images of the cityscape, his narration is periodically punctuated with the episodes of four different historical figures. Lively builds up a palimpsest and kaleidoscopic web where time and space collide. However, most book reviews and scholar critics either regard CM as a novel with a thin plot or think of it as a repeat of Lively`s consistent concern, the operation of memory and history. I think otherwise. Since CM is a book about the city of London, Matthew`s urban experience braids together from modernity displayed by walkabouts, the production of urban space, and a metropolitan mind.
The first chapter clarifies the scholarly value of the Lively study, marks the influence of her unusual childhood in WWII Egypt, gives a summary of CM in a palimpsest and kaleidoscopic vision, discusses previous approaches to CM, and points out the scaffoldings for a troika of my study—modernity, space, and mind. In Chapter Two, I first explain the Baudelairean poetic flâneur and the Benjaminian Marxist flâneur, and support Chris Jenks`s walking methodologist or the flâneur in the (post)modern city with which Matthew modifies the flâneur and revisits modernity or contemporaneity. In Chapter Three, I notice Matthew-as-architect walker with a flair for the spatiality of the urban spectacle. The influence of space piques Matthew to experience Michel Foucault`s “heterotopias” and Henri Lefebvre`s “production of space.” Because space and time are not mutually exclusive, I propose a concept of time-space compression with which CM as a spatial text represents a particular sort of urban space. In Chapter Four, as the book title suggests, I explore how the city sophisticates mental life. I take Georg Simmel`s “intensification of nervous stimulation” and Walter Benjamin`s “shock” and “melancholy” to describe how a metropolitan mind like Matthew`s subtly interacts with a metropolis. Especially, four different historical figures resonating in London are counterparts of Matthew`s psyche. A final concluding chapter emphasizes that the trio of my study on CM reflect upon urban representations and upon metaphors and metamorphosis in city fiction. |
