摘要

安芮特以書寫愛、性、家庭以及女性主題聞名。而在《被遺忘的華爾滋》中，安芮特透過對吉娜與她的情人賽昂的浪漫關係反映對愛爾蘭社會在凱爾特之虎時期的關懷。
本論文分成兩個部份，旨在探討夏朵內在《被遺忘的華爾滋》中所代表的兩種不同意義。在第一部份中,我認為夏朵內代表了在凱爾特之虎所帶領的經濟繁榮之下人們追求新的美好的生活。在第二部份中，筆者著重於探討夏朵內不僅內代表女主角的身體慾望，也代表了物質跟心理層面的連結。本論文旨在使用物質文化的角度討論女主角愛上喝夏朵內的原因和女主角的精神層面息息相關。安芮特也打破了物質文化理論中物質與精神層面的二元對立。

Anne Enright is known for her writings on the themes of love, sex, family, and women’s experiences. In The Forgotten Waltz, Anne Enright shows her concerns on the Irish big social event—the Celtic Tiger—reflected in the romantic relationship between our protagonist, Gina, and her lover, Sean Vallely.
This thesis is divided into two parts, and I intend to explore the different two meanings which Chardonnay represents in The Forgotten Waltz. In the first part, I argue Chardonnay symbolizes the lifestyle of the bourgeoisie and their pursuit of the good life that stands for the material prosperity available as a result of the Celtic Tiger years. In the second part, Chardonnay is not only represented as Gina’s female bodily desire, but also interconnected with her mental activities. This thesis aims to utilize material culture approach to argue that the reason for Gina’s addiction to Chardonnay is related to her spiritual feelings. From this point, Enright has broken the traditional duality of material and the spiritual.
