An Analysis on People and Society in >You Can't Go Home Again< from the Perspective of Fromm's Sociological Theories [ 从弗洛姆社会学视角论《你不能再回家》中的人与社会] [Application of Fromm's theories to art]

  • 作为20世纪初美国文坛的重要代表,托马斯.沃尔夫无疑是最具争议、最伟大的现代主义作家之一。《你不能再回家》是他的最后一部小说,该书着重描绘了美国大萧条时期的社会画面和中下层民众的各种命运。今从弗洛姆社会学思想出发,从孤独的人性、法西斯主义与极权社会、人性的救赎等方面入手,探索现代工业制度下人的无权利、孤独、焦虑和不安,阐明了法西斯主义兴起的心理机制和极权主义的普遍性,揭示作家的社会批判倾向和思想流变。从而表明资本主义工业社会不仅破坏了人与大自然的和谐,破坏了优美的自然环境,而且对每个人的思想和精神都产生了负面的影响。
  • As an important representative of American literature in the early 20th century, Thomas Wolfe is undoubtedly the most controversial and greatest modernist writer. >You can’t go home again< is his last novel and it focuses on depicting the social picture of the United States of America during the Great Depression and the different fates of the lower-middle class people. Based on Erich Fromm’s sociological theories, this paper intends to explore common people’s lack of power, loneliness and anxiety in modern industrial system from the aspects of loneliness of human, fascism and totalitarian society, human nature and salvation, and tries to explain the psychological mechanism that causes the rise of fascism and universality of the totalitarianism, thus revealing Wolfe’s inclination of social criticism and the thematic transformation in his late writing. It is drawn a conclusion that capitalist industrial society not only destroyed the harmony between man and nature, destroyed the beautiful natural environment, but also exerted negative influence on human mind and spirit.
