图像理论视角下狄金森诗歌中的意象的留白与填充
The Gap and Fillings of Images in Dickinson’s Poems from the Perspective of Picture Theory

艾米莉·狄金森(Emily Dickinson)是19世纪美国文学史上最具影响力的诗人之一。她的诗以晦涩难懂、意味深长著称，留白是她诗歌的一个显著特点。本文以米切尔的图像理论为视角，采用文献研究法和文本细读法，对狄金森自然诗的显性意象留白进行解读和填充。研究发现，狄金森通过意象的留白，构建了诗歌的多重解读空间，使读者在填充留白的过程中与诗歌产生深度对话。这种对话不仅丰富了诗歌的内涵，还隐晦地表达了狄金森对女性独立、生命哲理以及爱情的深刻思考。本研究为理解狄金森诗歌的艺术特质提供了新的理论视角，同时拓展了图像理论在文学研究中的应用领域。
Emily Dickinson was one of the most influential poets in 19th-century American literary history. Her poetry is characterized by obscurity and depth of meaning, with gaps being a notable feature of her work. This paper, from the perspective of Mitchell’s Picture Theory, employs both literature review and close reading methods to interpret and fill in the gaps of explicit images in Dickinson’s nature poems. The study finds that through these gaps, Dickinson constructs multiple interpretive spaces in her poems, enabling readers to engage in profound dialogue with the text through the process of filling these gaps. This interaction not only enriches the poems’ connotations but also implicitly articulates Dickinson’s profound reflections on female independence, the philosophy of life, and love. This research provides a new theoretical perspective for understanding the artistic characteristics of Dickinson’s poems while expanding the application of Picture Theory in literary studies.
