哈尼夫·库雷西小说《加百列的礼物》的成长叙事与伦理建构

The Narrative of Bildung and Its Ethical Construction in Hanif Kureishi's Novella Gabriel's Gift

作为当代英国新生代移民作家的杰出代表,哈尼夫?库雷西的移民书写重点关注南亚移民群体的族裔经验与社会(心理)问题。库雷西小说《加百列的礼物》围绕少年加百列的成长烦恼,以家庭危机作为叙事焦点,叙述其在不同社会语境中的成长经历与伦理困惑。现阶段库雷西批评主要关注移民书写的族裔经验与身份政治,对其成长叙事的伦理话语缺少探讨。从文学伦理学批评视角来看,家庭代际关系是困惑叙事的伦理线,社会意识形态则是成长叙事的伦理结,两者相互交织,共同构成作为伦理事件的家庭危机、作为伦理动因的阶级意识以及作为伦理悖论的身份政治。

As one of the most pioneering new-generation immigrant writers in contemporary Britain,Hanif Kureishi focuses his immigrant writing on diasporic experiences and social(psychological)issues of South Asian British subjects.His novella Gabriel's Gift centers on the teenager protagonist's adolescent troubles,and presents his Bildung experience and ethical reflection in different social contexts,with a focalized narration of the family crisis.Recent Kureishi criticism focuses on ethic and identity politics in the author's immigrant writing,and seldom extends to any discussion of the ethical discourse of his narrative of Bildung.From the literary-ethical perspective,the essay argues that in the novel family generational conflicts present the ethical line of adolescent troubles,the social ideologies reflect the ethical cord of Bildung narratives,while within their interplay established the ethical event of family crises,the ethical motivation of class ideologies,and the ethical dilemma of identity politics.
