Whether encountered as a movie or novel, Roald Dahl's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is a childhood staple of postwar Anglophone culture. Originally published in 1964, Dahl's story of "Willie Wonka" is a morality tale for our times addressed by the present essay in relation to the precariousness, violence, intergenerational faith, and materialist fantasies reflective of contemporary life in the early twenty-first century. Compensating for the precarity of contemporary life's impoverishment as assumptions of societal stability are overthrown, this chronicle of the Bucket family details: envious desire validated by large group chosen trauma; authoritarian enslavement of inferior, colonized peoples with murderous, industrial-level human experimentation; toward gratification of the greedy fantasy of unlimited sweetness under the sway of lethal identification with the aggressor.
无论是作为电影还是小说，罗尔德·达尔的《查理和巧克力工厂》都是战后英语文化中童年的经典之作。达尔关于“威利·旺卡”的故事最初发表于1964年，是一个关于我们这个时代的道德故事，本文将探讨它所反映的21世纪初当代生活的不稳定、暴力、代际信仰以及物质主义幻想。随着社会稳定假设被推翻，为当代生活贫困的不稳定性提供补偿，这部关于巴克特一家的编年史详细描述了：因群体选择的创伤而被认可的嫉妒欲望；对低等、被殖民人民的独裁奴役以及致命的工业级人体实验；在与侵略者的致命认同影响下，对无限甜蜜的贪婪幻想的满足。
