【摘要】:奈保爾是21世紀(jì)最重要的作家之一,以冷酷深刻的筆觸著稱。他對(duì)第三世界的態(tài)度極為尖銳,但這并不影響他成為評(píng)論家們公認(rèn)的頗具才華的作家。奈保爾具有印度、特立尼達(dá)和英國的多重文化身份,這使他能夠?qū)ξ幕、種族和歷史問題有獨(dú)到的見解。無根感和自我身份危機(jī)在他的后期作品中都有所表現(xiàn)。在《半生》和《魔種》中,奈保爾深刻探討了身份危機(jī)問題,記錄了追尋自我身份的旅程。兩部小說主人公威利在每一個(gè)地方的逃離和停留都是對(duì)自我的重新認(rèn)知。自我認(rèn)知的改變促使威利不斷追尋自我身份,而這一旅程沒有終點(diǎn)。小說中包括威利在內(nèi)的人物都面臨著孤獨(dú)與焦慮,時(shí)刻處于尋找自我身份的旅程中。本論文著眼于兩部小說的婚姻和政治書寫,旨在揭示人物在印度、非洲和英國的循環(huán)旅程中對(duì)自我身份的追尋。本文作者認(rèn)為,兩部小說中的婚姻和政治既是導(dǎo)致小說人物自我身份危機(jī)的原因,也是他們塑造自我身份的方式。自我身份問題是現(xiàn)代文學(xué)作品的重要議題。個(gè)人的自我身份并非與生俱來,而是雜糅了文化與種族的產(chǎn)物,而空間與時(shí)間的變化也使自我身份具有更加豐富的內(nèi)涵。本文將運(yùn)用斯圖亞特·霍爾、安東尼·吉登斯以及其他學(xué)者的相關(guān)理論,探討奈保爾這兩部作品主人公自我身份危機(jī)的產(chǎn)生,以及他們通過婚姻和政治途徑尋求自我身份之路。本論文包括五章。第一章簡(jiǎn)要介紹了奈保爾及其作品,梳理了《半生》和《魔種》這兩部作品的研究現(xiàn)狀,說明了本論文的主要內(nèi)容。第二章深入探討小說主人公威利自我身份危機(jī)產(chǎn)生的背景。該章分析了威利在扭曲的婚姻觀念和混亂的后殖民時(shí)代現(xiàn)實(shí)影響下出現(xiàn)的自我身份困惑和焦慮。第三章則探究了威利在等級(jí)社會(huì)中追尋自我身份之旅的失敗。威利試圖通過婚姻和政治活動(dòng)來擺脫身份危機(jī)感,重新確立獨(dú)立的自我身份,卻陷入了失落和無根的狀態(tài),因?yàn)榛橐龊驼卧诘燃?jí)社會(huì)中是權(quán)力爭(zhēng)奪的工具。第四章討論了威利在世界主義的都市空間中對(duì)自我身份的重新認(rèn)識(shí),揭示了找尋到自我身份的希望。通過反思自我身份追尋的旅程,威利對(duì)婚姻和政治的理解悄然發(fā)生變化。身處國際化的都市空間,受到朋友婚姻選擇的啟發(fā),威利開始接受自己的雜糅身份。第五章將對(duì)論文進(jìn)行總結(jié)。本論文將奈保爾的作品《半生》和《魔種》中的身份問題與其中的婚姻和政治書寫相聯(lián)系,以期為奈保爾研究提供一個(gè)新視角。
[Abstract]:Naipaul is one of the most important writers in the 21 st century. His attitude to the third world was acutely sharp, but it did not prevent him from becoming a talented writer recognized by critics. Naipaul's diverse cultural identity in India, Trinidad, and Britain has enabled him to have unique insights into cultural, ethnic, and historical issues. The sense of rootlessness and the crisis of self-identity are reflected in his later works. In Half-Life and Demon, Naipaul explores the issue of identity crisis and records the journey to self-identity. Willie's escape and stay in every place is a reperception of self. Changes in self-perception have prompted Willie to pursue self-identity, and the journey has no end. The characters in the novel, including Willie, face loneliness and anxiety and are always on the journey of seeking self-identity. This thesis focuses on the marriage and political writing of the two novels, and aims to reveal the pursuit of self identity in the cycle of India, Africa and England. The author believes that marriage and politics in the two novels are not only the cause of the crisis of the characters' self identity, but also the way they shape their self identity. Self-identity is an important topic in modern literature. The self-identity of individual is not innate, but is the product of culture and race, and the change of space and time makes the self-identity more abundant. Based on the theories of Stuart Hall, Anthony Giddens and other scholars, this paper discusses the emergence of self-identity crisis of the protagonists in Naipaul's two works and the way they seek self-identity through marriage and politics. This thesis includes five chapters. The first chapter briefly introduces Naipaul and his works, combs the research status of the two works, Half-Life and Evil seed, and explains the main contents of this thesis. Chapter two probes into the background of the crisis of self-identity of the protagonist Willie. This chapter analyzes Willie's self identity confusion and anxiety under the influence of distorted marriage concept and chaotic postcolonial reality. Chapter three explores Willie's failure in his quest for self-identity in a hierarchical society. Willie tried to get rid of the crisis of identity through marriage and political activities and to re-establish his independent self-identity, but he fell into a state of loss and rootlessness, because marriage and politics were the tools of power struggle in the hierarchical society. Chapter four discusses Willie's rethinking of self identity in cosmopolitan urban space and reveals the hope of finding self identity. By reflecting on his journey to self-identity, Willie's understanding of marriage and politics has quietly changed. In the international urban space, inspired by a friend's choice of marriage, Willie began to accept his mixed identity. The fifth chapter will summarize the thesis. In this thesis, the identity issues in Naipaul's works Half-Life and Magic seed are related to marriage and political writing, in order to provide a new perspective for Naipaul's study.
