「砍掉她的頭！」：羅爾德·達爾的《反叛的童謠》(1982) 及其電影改編 (2016) 中對暴力的表達與分析

Abstract

本論文從敘事和視覺呈現的角度分析及比較了羅爾德·達爾 (Roald Dahl) 的《反叛的童謠》(1982) 及由雅各布·舒 (Jakob Schuh) 和簡·拉肖爾 (Jan Lachauer) 執導的同名動畫電影改編作品。有關暴力在兒童文學作品中正當性的討論長期處於兩極分化，在此背景下，本論文的分析提供了一個有助於克服兩極分化的新角度。暴力長期以來一直是兒童文學不可或缺的元素，在批判童年研究的理論框架下審視暴力，可以對「兒童」在兒童文學中的地位及媒介價值進行新的解讀。

This thesis examines Roald Dahl’s Revolting Rhymes (1982) and its animated-film adaptation Revolting Rhymes (2016), directed by Jakob Schuh and Jan Lachauer, in terms of their narrative and visual presentation of violence. In times when opinions on the legitimacy of violence in Children’s Literature are polarized, such analysis offers a new analytical axis that helps to overcome polarization. In this thesis, it is argued that violence has long been an indispensable element in Children’s Literature, and examining violence under the theoretical framework of Critical Childhood Studies allows a new interpretation on the role and agency of “children” in Children’s Literature.
