麥爾維爾波利尼西亞三部曲中的身份困惑
發(fā)布時(shí)間:2024-03-24 11:06
赫爾曼.麥爾維爾(1819-1891)是美國(guó)文學(xué)史上最重要的作家之一,由于其思想超越了他當(dāng)時(shí)所處的時(shí)代,從美國(guó)內(nèi)戰(zhàn)到第一次世界大戰(zhàn)結(jié)束,麥爾維爾差不多完全被人們所遺忘。而今,他已成為美國(guó)被廣泛閱讀,經(jīng)常研討的作家之一,為人們所尊敬。雖然麥爾維爾的作品在19世紀(jì)40年代到50年代間達(dá)到高峰,但他的著作帶有明顯的現(xiàn)代主義意義。評(píng)論家已經(jīng)從不同角度對(duì)他所表現(xiàn)的世界,他的思想以及他的作品對(duì)后世的影響做了大量的研究。但評(píng)論家們較少涉及他早期海洋小說(shuō)的文化差異問(wèn)題。本論文致力于表述麥爾維爾對(duì)于美國(guó)對(duì)外擴(kuò)張的關(guān)注,對(duì)于被扭曲表現(xiàn)的東方的態(tài)度,以及對(duì)東西方關(guān)系的探尋。本論文將探討他在東西方文化中面臨的文化困惑。 在以“后”字開(kāi)頭的種種現(xiàn)代批評(píng)術(shù)語(yǔ)中(后現(xiàn)代主義尤為突出),后殖民批評(píng)已變得日益重要。后殖民批評(píng)從本質(zhì)上講是一種在新的歷史環(huán)境下重新看待東西方關(guān)系的思想思潮。在1978年,愛(ài)得華·w·薩義德在其《東方主義》一書(shū)中揭示出東西方間的關(guān)系是一種力量上的控制關(guān)系,一種不同程度上復(fù)雜的霸權(quán)主義。王寧教授認(rèn)為后殖民主義首先是一種思考方式,一種更加復(fù)雜的思維方式。雖然各批評(píng)家采用的方法有所不同,但他們都批判...
