摘要：乌尔里希·魏斯坦、朱莉亚·梵·冈斯特伦等学者认为凯瑟琳·曼斯菲尔德的短篇小说属于印象派文学，但这仍是一个值得商榷的问题。虽然曼斯菲尔德的确在《苍蝇》等晚期作品中用到了视差等印象派文学的核心技巧，但曼斯菲尔德强调的并非个体的主观感知，而是在描摹日常生活的过程中呈现时代群体的共同情感联结，这是曼斯菲尔德作为艺术家所肩负的时代责任，也体现了她马克思主义美学原则中的核心思想。

Title: Life, Emotion and Contemporary Responsibility in The Fly: The Marxist Aesthetics Principles of Katherine Mansfield’s Literary Creation
Abstract: Scholars such as Ulrich Weisstein and Julia Van Gunsteren argued that Katherine Mansfield’s short stories belong to Impressionist literature, but this is still open to debate. Although Mansfield did use parallax and other core techniques of Impressionist literature in her later works such as The Fly, what Mansfield emphasized was not the subjective perception of individuals, but emotional connections among people living in the post-war world. This is Mansfield’s understanding of the responsibilities of an author and the embodiment of her Marxist aesthetic principles of short stories.
