現(xiàn)代主義意識(shí)流小說(shuō)1、意識(shí)流小說(shuō)是20世紀(jì)初期（20年代）興起于西方，以表現(xiàn)人們的意識(shí)流動(dòng)、展示恍惚迷離的心靈世界為主的小說(shuō)。認(rèn)為文學(xué)應(yīng)表現(xiàn)人物的意識(shí)流動(dòng)，尤其是表現(xiàn)潛意識(shí)的活動(dòng)，人的意識(shí)流動(dòng)遵循的是“心理時(shí)間”，而非物理時(shí)間。2、它以象征暗示、內(nèi)心獨(dú)白、自由聯(lián)想等意識(shí)流的創(chuàng)作方法為主要特征，在本世紀(jì)20—30年代英、美、法等國(guó)形成一個(gè)頗為壯觀的現(xiàn)代主義文學(xué)流派。3、意識(shí)流小說(shuō)家所運(yùn)用的藝術(shù)手法各有側(cè)重，但藝術(shù)特征是共同的：“作家退出小說(shuō)”；情節(jié)淡化；大量的內(nèi)心獨(dú)白和自由聯(lián)想；時(shí)空交替和心理時(shí)間；象征暗示和對(duì)比聯(lián)想；語(yǔ)言使用上的創(chuàng)新和變異。4、代表作家是愛(ài)爾蘭的喬伊斯和英國(guó)的伍爾芙，法國(guó)的普魯斯特和美國(guó)的?？蒜c。特點(diǎn)詳細(xì)解說(shuō)：1、內(nèi)心獨(dú)白：意識(shí)流小說(shuō)直接展示所思所感，展示心理的原生態(tài)，不加以條理化、邏輯化，作家退出小說(shuō)，主觀干預(yù)較少，注重表現(xiàn)人物的意識(shí)活動(dòng)本身。2、采用自由聯(lián)想的方式，在某對(duì)象上稍許停留，任何外在的刺激都可以打斷從前的思維過(guò)程而展開(kāi)新的思緒。3、主觀性、隨意性強(qiáng)，常打破時(shí)空限制，跳躍性較大，從心理結(jié)構(gòu)組織流程，而傳統(tǒng)小說(shuō)多在時(shí)空的推移中展開(kāi)情節(jié)。4、內(nèi)容和題材上，傳統(tǒng)小說(shuō)往往全知全能，而在意識(shí)流小說(shuō)中作家地位下降，讀者的參與性加強(qiáng)，不注意刻畫(huà)典型人物，憑借人物的意識(shí)來(lái)寫(xiě)人，情節(jié)淡化。代表作家及其作品：1、愛(ài)爾蘭的喬伊斯：《都柏林人》、《青年藝術(shù)家的肖像》2、英國(guó)的沃爾夫：《墻上的斑點(diǎn)》、《到燈塔去》3、法國(guó)的普魯斯特：《追憶逝水年華》4、美國(guó)的?？思{《喧嘩與騷動(dòng)》（1929），反映了南方望族康普生家的沒(méi)落。小說(shuō)創(chuàng)造了復(fù)合意識(shí)流方法，使運(yùn)用意識(shí)流手法去發(fā)掘人物的內(nèi)心生活方面達(dá)到了新的高度。著重表現(xiàn)昆丁的變態(tài)心理和班吉神經(jīng)錯(cuò)亂的潛意識(shí)活動(dòng)。人物（長(zhǎng)子昆丁、二子杰生、小兒子班吉、女兒凱蒂）TextAppreciationPartI(paras.):PartII(para):PartIII(para):PartIV(para):PartV(para):PartVI(para):345671-2thebeginningpart,introducingthetopicunderdiscussion.the1stobstacletobecomingaprofessionalwomanwriter.
