This article draws on Michel de Certeau's notion of tactical resistance to examine the practices of reading and of using urban space in Raymond Queneau's Zazie dans le métro. Departing from formalist approaches that frame Queneau's Paris as a ‘construction verbale,’ I offer a historically situated analysis of the novel's representation of post-war Paris, demonstrating that the theme of semiotic instability, frequently explored in studies of the novel, reflects not only the author's preoccupations with language but also the social and cultural upheavals of its historical moment. The article first examines the Parisian metro's status as a uniquely legible site in the chaotic urban landscape of Zazie dans le métro in relation to the conflicting images of the metro as alternately a hellscape and a refuge in the post-war period. The article then shifts the usual critical focus on the eponymous Zazie's anarchic adventures on the city's surface to explore the transgressive détournements of subterranean urban space performed by a range of characters seeking to resist the dominant social order. The article closes with a discussion of underground Paris as a zone of ambiguity that eschews simple truths and rigid categories of identity.

本文借鉴 Michel de Certeau 的战术抵抗概念，研究了 Raymond Queneau 的Zazie dans le métro中阅读和使用城市空间的做法。与将 Queneau 的巴黎框定为“建筑语言”的形式主义方法不同，我对小说对战后巴黎的表现进行了历史定位分析，表明在小说研究中经常探讨的符号学不稳定性主题不仅反映了作者对语言的关注以及其历史时刻的社会和文化动荡。这篇文章首先考察了巴黎地铁在Zazie dans le métro混乱的城市景观中作为一个独特清晰的站点的地位与战后时期地铁作为地狱景观和避难所的矛盾形象有关。然后，文章将通常的批评焦点转移到同名 Zazie 在城市表面的无政府冒险上，以探索由一系列试图抵抗主导社会秩序的角色所进行的地下城市空间的越轨迂回。文章最后讨论了地下巴黎作为一个模棱两可的区域，避开了简单的真理和严格的身份类别。
