摘　　要：作为以图像为主导的文化,视觉文化早在电影出现初期便对人们感知生活的方式产生了影响。这种影响典型地体现在《了不起的盖茨比》中,尤其是在小说的叙事手法上。有声的话语在小说中空洞、失声、甚至是对所表达意义的反讽,但无声的图像却以它的逼真性轻而易举地发出一种强音。在运用图像式叙事技巧的同时,作者更表现出强烈的批评性,对视觉图像的真实性提出质疑,并通过盖茨比身份构建的失效展现了视觉影像的虚幻性。从对视觉文化的批判来说,菲茨杰拉德是超前的。Visual culture, dominated by visual images, has had a strong influence on people＇ s way of perceiving life since the day film gained its popularity. The influence is explicitly reflected in The Great C, atsby, especially in its narrative techniques. The vocal language in the novel is empty and voiceless, even ironical to its meanings, whereas the silent images could often voice their opinion powerfully with their verisimilitude. While exploiting the visual images in its narration, the author also questions the ＂truthfulness＂ of visual images, and reveals, through the failure of Gatsby＇ s identity construction based on visual presentation, the fact that visual images are actually virtual illusions. Fitzgerald, in his critique of the visual culture, is ahead of his time.
