种族、发声与文化挪用:从“后殖民”看电影《风中奇缘》对Pocahontas的想象

Ethnicity, Articulation and Cultural Appropriation: Criticizing Disney's Re-Imagination of Pocahontas

欧美民族中心主义与近几百年来的种族主义、历史偏见、性别歧视、殖民现实和文化霸权密切相关,要对它进行反思并进而思考我们新的文化价值取向,我们必须在展示欧美主流'知识形态'的内在矛盾之同时,在文化批评工作者中培植发展作为文化抵抗的阅读策略.本文将批判地运用部分'后殖民'和'女性主义'理论,分析美国影片<风中奇缘>对Pocahontas这一'历史人物'的重新想象,论述种族、发声与文化挪用等问题.

The reading of 'foreign' texts is but a cross cultural event. This paper, while critically employing some contemporary post colonial feminist theories from critics such as Edward Said and bell hooks, analyzes the Eurocentric and hegemonic re imagination of Pocahontas in popular Disney film Pocahontas with a focus on ethnicity, articulation and cultural appropriation. It calls for a more balanced albeit critical (re )reading of Western cultural products in the post colonial cultural context.
