摘　　要：爱尔兰作家塞缪尔·贝克特的长篇小说《瓦特》以反乌托邦的手法书写了同名主人公瓦特的生存境遇,是一部揭示隐性暴力与权力压迫主题的小说。小说中的主权者诺特以食物、住房等人类生存必需品作为新的权力工具,致使以瓦特为代表的边缘群体丧失人的主体意识,最终实现对该弱势群体权力的剥夺。本文基于诺贝尔经济学奖获得者阿玛蒂亚·森的饥饿政治学理论,重新解读这部作品,发现贝克特通过书写以物为媒介实施对人的权力压迫,试图再现爱尔兰苦难的民族记忆,揭示其对隐性政治暴力的批判。Watt is a novel written by Irish writer Samuel Beckett,which describes the life situation of the eponymous protagonist Watt in a dystopian way.It is a novel revealing the theme of hidden violence and power oppression.In the story,the sovereign Knott takes living necessities such as housing and food as new power tools to make the marginal groups represented by Watt lose their subject consciousness and finally realize the deprivation of their rights.Based on the theory of hunger politics of Amartya Sen,a Nobel laureate in economics,this paper reinterprets this work and finds that Beckett’s writing about people using things as media to implement the oppression of human rights is trying to reproduce the national memory of Ireland’s suffering,and revealing his criticism of hidden political violence.
