项目摘要

My doctoral thesis examines portrayals of real estate in American realist short stories of the 'long 1980s' (1973-1992)-aperiod of economic uncertainty bookended by recessions. My project focuses on Lucia Berlin, Raymond Carver andLorrie Moore, each of whom represents a major strand of the period's 'renaissance' of realist short fiction: Berlin's,Carver's, and Davis's stories have, respectively, been termed realist 'autofiction' by Lydia Davis, 'dirty realism' by BillBuford, and 'program era' realism by Mark McGurl. However, my research has the potential to extend to other writersand movements. My thesis proposes that realist short fiction of the long 1980s articulates a reconceptualisation of theAmerican 'home' as a place of transience, in response to the newly destabilised housing market. My thesis contends,moreover, that Berlin's, Carver's and Moore's innovations in the realist genre challenge the economic financialisation ofthe period. By describing real estate-the spatialisation of capital-these writers resist the increasing abstraction of thederegulated capitalist economy. Berlin and Moore remain critically neglected, while Carver has yet to be examined indirect relation to real estate. Research Questions: 1) How does American realist short fiction of the long 1980s presentreal estate? 2) How were these literary representations formed by economic transformations? 3) What impact doeseconomic periodisation have on critical interpretations of the canon?

我的博士论文研究了“漫长的 20 世纪 80 年代”（1973-1992 年）美国现实主义短篇小说中对房地产的描述——这是一个因经济衰退而结束的经济不确定时期。我的项目重点关注露西娅·柏林、雷蒙德·卡弗和洛里·摩尔，他们每个人都代表了这一时期现实主义短篇小说“复兴”的主要潮流：柏林、卡弗和戴维斯的故事分别被莉迪亚·戴维斯称为现实主义“自传小说”，被比尔·布福德称为“肮脏现实主义”，被马克·麦格尔称为“程序时代”现实主义。然而，我的研究有可能扩展到其他作家和运动。我的论文提出，20 世纪 80 年代漫长的现实主义短篇小说阐明了美国“家”作为一个短暂场所的重新概念，以应对新近不稳定的房地产市场。此外，我的论文认为，伯林、卡弗和摩尔在现实主义流派中的创新挑战了这一时期的经济金融化。通过描述房地产——资本的空间化——这些作家抵制了放松管制的资本主义经济的日益抽象。柏林和摩尔仍然被严重忽视，而卡弗与房地产的间接关系尚未得到检验。研究问题： 1) 20 世纪 80 年代漫长的美国现实主义短篇小说如何呈现房地产？ 2）这些文学表征是如何因经济转型而形成的？ 3）经济分期对经典的批判性解释有何影响？
