论戴思杰小说中的“对话”

On the "Dialogues" in Dai Sijie's Fiction

在众多将东方神秘主义和社会缺陷夸大的海外小说中,戴思杰把一个知识分子的中国还原给西方。面对自身在异族文化中的困惑而对故国展开的想像与西方思维模式下的想像中国不一样,那是一个从自身出逃又重新进入的过程。与其他作家作品的对话、自己三部作品之间的对话以及每部作品内部的对话明显借鉴了西方的写作技巧。这种突破了时间与地界的精神上的交流又与文化身份的问题密切相关。

In contrast to the writings replete with Oriental mysticism and exaggerated social defects, Dai Sijie presents to the West a world of intellectuals, where there is a China imaginary different from a China as imagined in the Western mentality. Frustrated in their cultural relocation, their imaginary is the result of escape and re-entry. Engagement in dialogues with other writers' works, and with his three other works, reflects a Western influence in style. His trans-temporal and trans-territorial spiritual communication is related to his articulation of his cultural identity.
