摘　　要：迈克尔·夏邦的《犹太警察工会》是一部或然历史小说和侦探小说,其背景是一个假想的历史空间,即二战期间美国在阿拉斯加的锡特卡建立的一处欧洲犹太难民聚居点。故事详细记述了主人公通过对一起神秘谋杀案的调查而最终发现的政治阴谋。这部小说实际是一部"空间故事",其中有各种各样的边界跨越与疆域控制,从中能够看出犹太人与非犹太人之间、正统犹太人与世俗犹太人之间的复杂关系以及当代以色列国的缩影。本文专注小说中的空间因素(特别是阿拉斯加犹太人聚居点的孤岛意象和岛上的开戒界域),探索它们在犹太身份的形成与交涉中所起的作用,并在此基础上挖掘深藏其中的意识形态信息,包括作者对现实中的以色列国的讽喻性暗指以及对犹太复国主义和弥赛亚主义所持的复杂态度。Michael Chabon’s novel The Yiddish Policemen’s Union is a work of alternate history and a detective story,which is set in an imagined settlement for Jewish refugees in Sitka,Alaska,established in WWII.It gives an account of the protagonist’s investigation into a mysterious murder case and his ultimate discovery of a political conspiracy.The novel is actually a"spatial story"with various border crossing and boundary manipulation,which shows the complicated relationships between Jews and non-Jews,between orthodox Jews and secular Jews,and the modern state of Israel in miniature.The paper will focus on some of these spatial elements in the novel,especially the images of desert island and eruv in Alaska,and explore their roles in the formation and negotiation of Jewish identity.It will also try to excavate some of the hidden ideological messages,including Chabon’s satirical allusion to the modern state of Israel,and his complicated attitudes towards Jewish Zionism and Messianism.
