Abstract:This article examines James’s important critique, in The American Scene, of the hotel’s pervasive role as a new institution and landmark in the modern urban scene, focusing on the way in which women characters experience the challenges of this transitory space. Through readings of “Daisy Miller,” “The Pension Beaurepas,” The Ambassadors, and The Wings of the Dove, it explores the impact of hotel culture on James’s women, who in their travels experience hotels as insular microcosms of controlled sociability, unstable arenas of emancipation, or stages of duplicitous performance. Confronting issues of precarious national identity and rootlessness, James’s heroines demonstrate a mobile and even transnational individuality, one that is derived from the transient spaces they roam in. Although the writer sometimes presents his heroines trapped in the hotels’ generic gilded fixtures, he identifies them with the modernizing thrust of the big metropolises and the incessant international mobility that the hotels epitomized.

无艺术时代的纪念碑：亨利詹姆斯作品中的酒店和女性流动

摘要：本文考察了詹姆斯在《美国场景》中对酒店作为现代城市场景中的新机构和地标的普遍作用的重要批评，重点关注女性角色体验这一短暂空间挑战的方式。通过阅读“Daisy Miller”、“The Pension Beaurepas”、“The Ambassadors”和“The Wings of the Dove”，它探讨了酒店文化对詹姆斯女性的影响，她们在旅行中将酒店体验为可控社交、不稳定舞台的孤立缩影解放的阶段，或两面派的表现阶段。面对不稳定的民族认同和无根的问题，詹姆斯笔下的女主人公展示了一种流动的甚至跨国的个性，这种个性源自她们漫游的瞬息万变的空间。
