文化可以是国家、民族的特有文化,也可以是同一国家或民族中因宗教、地域、经济地位或职业的不同而产生的不同文化。约瑟夫·海勒的《第二十二条军规》就书写了美国军事文化和平民文化的矛盾冲突。小说主人公约塞连秉持平民文化,在以“第二十二条军规”为代表的军事文化氛围中,显得格格不入。约塞连对于军事文化的种种反应构成了小说的基本情节,而其反应方式——黑色幽默,也是其调整平民文化观念与军事文化观念的关系、缓解和化解军地文化冲突的唯一可选策略。 Culture can be a unique culture of a country or a nation, or it can be a different culture of the same country or nation due to differences in religion, region, economy or occupation. Joseph Heller’s “Twenty-second Army Regulation” has written a contradiction between the U.S. military culture and the civilian culture. The protagonist of the novel Celeron upholds the civilian culture, in the “Twenty-two military rules ” as the representative of the military culture, it seems out of place. Yussela’s reaction to the military culture constitutes the basic plot of the novel. The reaction mode - black humor, is also the only alternative strategy for adjusting the relationship between the civilian culture and the military and cultural concepts and for alleviating and resolving military and civilian conflicts .
