摘　　要：《安德鲁的大脑》是多克托罗转向人的意识与认知的一部杰作,它将发生的个体偶然事件与集体事件关联起来,表达出对创伤经验的整体性认知。该作品的独特之处在于以认知科学家的眼光来审视人类遭遇的创伤,强调自我作为主体的伦理责任,而有罪意识是受创者对创伤自责性的认知,置换了受害者无辜的话语,对施害者与受害者对立范式的价值观提出挑战。通过直接介入“9·11”创伤话语,多克托罗将个体创伤认知升华为对命运共同体的忧虑。Andrew’s Brain is a masterpiece of Doctorow in which he turns to human consciousness and cognition. It integrates personal incidents with collective events to express a holistic understanding of traumatic experience. The uniqueness of the novel lies in the cognitive scientist’s perspective of examining human beings’ suffered trauma and emphasizing ethical responsibility of the self as the subject. The sense of guilt is the victim’s self-blame perception of trauma,replacing the discourse of innocent victim and challenging the values of the oppositional paradigm of the perpetrator and the victim. Through direct intervening in the 9/11 traumatic discourse,Doctorow sublimates the personal trauma cognition into the concern of community’s shared future.
