摘　　要：在韦尔蒂的文学世界,帽饰不仅是日常生活的身体装饰,更承载深刻而复杂的性别、阶级与文化意义。本文借镜麦克卢汉与罗兰·巴特关于服饰的理论思考,探绎帽子在韦尔蒂笔下的叙事与主题意义。论文指出,帽饰既是南方社会规约性淑女文化的隐喻,以揭露出家庭、婚姻甚至共同体统一身份对女性身体的建构与规训,也是男权面对女性欲望之“暗恐”心理乃至女性作家黑暗的文学写作史之象征。韦尔蒂亦以帽子展演资本主义现代性给南方人民带来的精神危机,从而构建其关于自然与女性气质的现代主义救赎理想。重识韦尔蒂笔下物的媒介性是拆解(南方)现实生活政治文化建构的现象学实验。In Welty's literary world,hats are not only bodily ornaments in everyday life,but take on profound and complex significance of gender,class,and culture.This essay attempts to draw from Marshall McLuhan's and Roland Barthes's theories on clothing in exploring hats'narrative and thematic functions in Welty's writing.Then,it argues for the need to read headwear as a metaphor for normative Southern lady culture,thus unveiling the construction and discipline of women's bodies by family,marriage,and unitary community,and highlighting both the patriarchy's“uncanny”ambivalence towards feminine desire and the dark history of literary writing by female writers.In addition,Welty's use of hats also reveals the Southerners'spiritual crisis caused by capitalist modernity as well as her redemptive ideal through nature and femininity.Reconsidering the mediality of things in Welty's writing constitutes a phenomenological experiment to take apart the cultural and political construction of the ordinary life in the South.
