Peter Preston Brooks (born 1938)[1] is an American literary scholar, interdisciplinary humanist, and writer known for his work on narrative theory, psychoanalysis and literature, melodrama, law and literature, and the institutional place of the humanities.[2][3]
主題
布魯克斯的學術生涯涵蓋了廣泛的主題和方法論關注點,包括敘事理論[27]、閱讀心理學[28]以及通俗劇的文化功能[10]。
他的學術研究廣泛地借鑒了精神分析文學方法,同時也對法律與文學這一跨學科領域做出了貢獻,尤其體現在他對法律話語中敘事推理的分析[29]。
此外,布魯克斯也致力於人文學科的製度和教學改革,倡導以闡釋嚴謹性和理論意識為核心的文學研究方法[4]。在他的所有著作中,他始終將文學批評視為課堂實踐的延伸,以及對語言、敘事和意義建構結構的根本人文主義探究[30]。
Themes
Across his career, Brooks has been associated with a wide range of thematic and methodological concerns, including narrative theory[27], the psychology of reading[28], and the cultural work of melodrama.[10]
His scholarship has drawn extensively on psychoanalytic approaches to literature while also helping to shape the interdisciplinary field of law and literature, particularly through his analyses of narrative reasoning in legal discourse.[29]
Brooks has additionally contributed to institutional and pedagogical reform in the humanities, advocating for forms of literary study that foreground interpretive rigor and theoretical awareness.[4] Throughout his work, he has framed literary criticism as an extension of classroom praxis and as a fundamentally humanistic inquiry into language, storytelling, and the structures through which meaning is made.[30]

Body Work: Objects of Desire in Modern NarrativeThe desire to know the body is a powerful dynamic of storytelling in all its forms. Peter Brooks argues that modern narrative is intent on uncovering the body in order to expose a truth that must be written in the flesh. In a book that ranges widely through literature and painting, Brooks shows how the imagination strives to bring the body into language and to write stories on the body. |
身體的運作:現代敘事中的慾望對象

對身體的認知慾望是各種形式敘事中一股強大的動力。彼得布魯克斯認為,現代敘事旨在揭示身體,從而展現一種必須以肉身書寫的真理。本書廣泛涉獵文學和繪畫,布魯克斯闡述了想像力如何努力將身體融入語言,並以身體為主題進行敘事。
從盧梭、巴爾扎克、瑪麗雪萊和福樓拜,到喬治艾略特、左拉、亨利詹姆斯和瑪格麗特杜拉斯,從馬奈和高更到梅普爾索普,作家和藝術家們都對身體——這個精神中不可逃避的他者——抱有濃厚的興趣。布魯克斯對精神分析的深刻理解,使他得以闡述「求知欲」(即求知的渴望)如何引導虛構情節及其對讀者的解讀。
性身體為符號化提供了基礎,最終也構成了語言本身──而語言又將我們從身體中剝離出來。然而,心靈和語言需要重新與身體建立聯繫,將其視為構成自身本質的另一個領域。布魯克斯揭示了女性身體如何以及為何成為整個社會抱負、焦慮和矛盾的舞台。他也指出,作家和藝術家如何在女性身體中找到了他們敘事的動力來源,也就是其創作的動力。
這本重要的著作兼具娛樂性和教育意義:布魯克斯假定讀者無需具備任何專業知識。他的敘述以時間順序展開,從十八世紀的盧梭一直延續到當代藝術家和作家。 《身體工作》為我們提供了一套分析工具和理念——主要來自精神分析、敘事研究、電影研究和女性主義理論——使我們能夠以全新的視角解讀現代敘事。

Flaubert in the Ruins of Paris: The Story of a Friendship, a Novel, and a Terrible Year
From the summer of 1870 through the spring of 1871, France suffered a humiliating defeat in its war against Prussia and witnessed bloody class warfare that culminated in the crushing of the Paris Commune. In Flaubert in the Ruins of Paris, Peter Brooks examines why Flaubert thought his recently published novel, Sentimental Education, was prophetic of the upheavals in France during this "terrible year," and how Flaubert's life and that of his compatriots were changed forever.
Brooks uses letters between Flaubert and his novelist friend and confidante George Sand to tell the story of Flaubert and his work, exploring his political commitments and his understanding of war, occupation, insurrection, and bloody political repression. Interweaving history, art history, and literary criticism-from Flaubert's magnificent novel of historical despair, to the building of the reactionary monument the Sacré-Coeur on Paris's highest summit, to the emergence of photography as historical witness-Brooks sheds new light on the pivotal moment when France redefined herself for the modern world.
The George Sand–Gustave Flaubert Letters, translated by Aimée G. Leffingwell McKenzie (A. L. McKenzie), introduced by Stuart Sherman (1921), available at the Gutenberg website as E-text N° 5115
