摘　　要：兴起于20世纪60年代的混沌学不仅颠覆了科学家们对世界的固有认知,也让混沌一词以崭新的面貌重新走进作家与人文社会研究者的视野。美国当代作家保罗·奥斯特在小说《玻璃城》中,将纽约营造成为一个充满随机与偶然的混沌世界,通过叙述主体的无知、人物身份的多重迷雾以及非线性叙事等方式,打破西方传统的二元神话,质疑西方文明对规则、"知"和意义的迷恋,将不确定性引入作品,让主人公与世界诞生以前的混沌共生,在创造之源重拾人的定义与写作行为的价值。Arising in the 1960 s, the theory of chaos overturns the dominant world view of order in science and allows new connotations of the word "chaos" for literary and social studies. In his fiction City of Glass, the contemporary American author Paul Auster depicts New York as a chaotic world filled with randomness and contingency. Through the ignorant narrator, multiple identities and nonlinear narrative, Auster challenges the popular myth of dualism, questions the obsession with order, knowing and meaning in western civilization, thus invites uncertainty into his work. At the end of the fiction, the protagonist coexists with the primal chaos as a force of creation, reminiscing the ideal of humanity and the value of writing.
