摘要
二战爆发后,英国开始施行食物配给制,经历过食物短缺的威廉·戈尔丁在其代表作《蝇王》中着力凸显了食物的社会、文化和政治意义。通过细腻生动地描述一群英国孩子在荒岛上觅食和进食的场景,比照采摘野果与猎烤野猪这两种饮食模式,戈尔丁展示了生食与熟食的对立,进而揭示了其中潜藏的"文明"与"野蛮"的较量。《蝇王》既呈现了一个饮食恶托邦的梦魇,同时又嵌入了一幅饮食乌托邦的愿景,它外显的恶托邦洪流深处隐藏着一股强大的乌托邦潜流。
Since the outbreak of WWlI, Britain had been implementing food rationing. William Golding, who experienced food shortage personally, highlights the social, cultural and political significance of food in his masterpiece Lord of the Flies. By vividly depicting the scenarios of several British children seeking and eating food on a deserted island and contrasting the culinary patterns of gathering fruits and hunting pigs, Golding reveals the opposition between raw food and cooked food, and more importantly, the contest between ＂the civilized＂ and ＂the savage.＂ Blending a nightmare of culinary dystopia and a vision of culinary utopia, Lord of the Flies conceals a forceful utopian undercurrent beneath its explicit dystopian torrent.
