The"Circular"Spatial Practice and the Exploration of the South in The Light in August
The drawing and imagination of novel geography are closely related to the spatial creation of novels,as they can help us discover the hidden things in literary research and how space triggers the plot of stories and nov-els.In circular spatial movement,the"existence"and the"present"are closely connected,which constitute the hu-man exploration of the meaning and value of survival.In The Light in August,Faulkner not only shows his parody of the South and the ethnic conflicts in the OS,but also comprehensively shows his understanding and artistic con-struction of the ethnic conflicts in the United States through the"circular"space practice of Christmas.Moreover,with the help of the conflicts of Christmas'racial identity,Faulkner artistically demonstrates the conflicts of na-tional identity of people in different colors under the background of American nationalization and integration in the 20th century.In The Light in August,Faulkner uses the spatial movement of characters to demonstrate his explora-tion to the Southern problems and construction of art.
