摘　　要：在蒂姆·温顿的近作《呼吸》中,冲浪已不只是一项集冒险与挑战于一身的运动,冲浪演化成了一个充满引诱的霸权主场,成为霸权施展其威慑力的一种隐秘途径。极限运动带来的刺激和快感被畸形地塑造为个体价值的体现,而这一结果与霸权意识通过各种媒介进行渗透和刻意诱导密切相关。在夺命的死亡游戏背后,温顿揭露了藏匿于神秘面纱之后的霸权及其带来的创痛。《呼吸》凭借其深刻的政治隐喻意义成为蒂姆·温顿的又一力作。Surfing, more than just an extreme game with a combination of challenge and risk-taking, has become such an arena imbued with seductive power of hegemony and carrier of deterrence from the power. With the overwhelming penetration of the hegemon- ic awareness directly or indirectly, the excitement and ecstasy in the surfing are deliberately described as individual value, otherwise life is dull and poor. Through the deadly risky extreme game, Winton reveals the hegemony and the trauma it generates by secretly but forcefully inviting pieces of Vietnam War history. In Breath, it＇ s not difficult to spot such words like, veteran, correspondence, empire and Vietnam War, which are all politically metaphorical. Meanwhile, from the beginning to the end, Breath is known also for its excellent and vivid depiction of the beach, the feeling of surfing as well as the surfing boards. This paper tries to explore how hegemonic power is exposed through the extreme game of surfing.
