摘要
加勒比女作家简·里斯的《藻海无边》以夏洛特·勃朗特的长篇小说《简·爱》为故事蓝本重写或“回写”了罗彻斯特先生的前妻,疯女人安托瓦内特/伯莎的故事。作家采用了双重乃至多重声音交替叙述的策略,使女主人公安托瓦内特/伯莎从被表述的他者变成说话的主体。小说的独特之处不仅在于解开了《简·爱》中那个来自西印度群岛的克里奥耳女子的疯狂之谜,而且折射出身为克里奥耳女作家的里斯本人的身份危机感。小说是对存在于现实中和文本中的殖民话语和父权话语的双重反抗,通过这种后殖民的反话语实践,里斯试图重构她本人(以及与她有着同样命运的克里奥耳人)在殖民时代破碎的个人身份和文化身份。
Writing back from Jane Eyre, Wide Sargasso Sea by Jean Rhys, retells the story of Antionette, Mr. Rochester＇ s mad wife. The author takes a narrative strategy in double or multivoices, transforming the mute other into a speaking subject. The novel not only resolves the riddle of craziness of the Creole girl from West Indies, but also reflects the crisis of identity of the author as a Creole woman writer. Thus, the novel resists the colonial and patriarchal discourse both in reality and in text world. By this practice of anti-discourse, Rhys attempts to recreate for herself and her Creole compatriots sharing same fate both individual and cultural identities, which were broken at the colonial age.
