摘　　要：加拿大作家玛格丽特·阿特伍德在小说《别名格雷斯》中虚构了历史人物爱尔兰移民格雷斯·马克思移民北美的经历。小说的空间既是各种社会关系的表征,也承载了相应的伦理规范。格雷斯在移民船中陷入伦理冲突,在殖民地雇佣空间中受到伦理禁忌的约束,在全景敞视监狱遭受他人凝视的控制,同时也做出相应的伦理选择,化解各类危机。小说还原了加拿大前殖民地上存在的针对底层移民与弱势边缘人群的空间暴力,批判围绕族裔、阶级、性别产生的不平等现象。阿特伍德借格雷斯的伦理选择反思了加拿大与前宗主国英国的关系,用格雷斯的苦难历程隐喻加拿大在英国殖民统治下受到的伤害。The novel, Alias Grace, by the Canadian writer, Margaret Atwood, fictionalizes the experience of a historical figure and an Irish immigrant, Grace Marx, who emigrated to North America. In this novel, space not only represents various social relations, but also facilitates certain corresponding ethical norms. Grace was caught in the ethical conflict aboard the immigrant ship, restricted by ethical taboos in the space of colonial employment, and stared at by others in a panopticon prison. She made the corresponding ethical choice to resolve various conflicts. The novel re-presemts the spatial violence against the low-level immigrants as well as the vulnerable and marginalized groups in the former colonies of Canada. Also, it criticizes the phenomenon of inequality due to ethnicity, class, and gender. Atwood reflects on the relationship between Canada and its former suzerain, UK, by analyzing Grace’s ethical choice and turns her arduous experience into a metaphor of the damage that Canada had suffered under the British colonial rule.
