摘　　要：老龄化是当今全球面临的重大社会问题。玛格丽特·阿特伍德以其独特的视角对小说《最后死亡的是心脏》中的老年人的生活境遇给予了文学再现。由于衰老成本的高昂和未来价值的缺乏,老年人常常被视为“他者化”的存在。作者实验性地以性活力的再现和对生命价值的肯定重申了老年人的主体意义,以此颠覆社会所强加的叙事偏见。除了重塑个体的生存意义,部分老年人更是打破了老年叙事闭锁,以其固有的叙事资本和叙事优势重申年老的价值。通过老年人的身份建构与叙事话语,颠覆了刻板的身份壁垒和对老化过程的认知偏见。Aging of population is one of the social challenges faced by the globe as a whole.Margaret Atwood portrays the predicaments and breakthroughs of the elderly in her novel The Heart Goes Last from a unique perspective.The elderly tend to be“Otherized”due to high cost of aging and lack of future value.The author experimentally reasserts the subject meaning of the elderly with the representation of sexual vitality and the affirmation of their life value to subvert the narrative bias imposed by society.In addition to reconstructing the meaning of their existence,some of them have broken the gerontological narrative foreclosure to reaffirm the“narrative capital”and value of the elderly.In the interpretation of the gerontological narrative in the novel,the author advocates to concentrate on the identity construction and narrative discourse of the elderly,It overturned the rigid identity barrier and the cognitive prejudice of the aging process by the identity construction and narrative discourse of the elderly.
