“中国情趣”、中国旅行与东方主义——《谷崎润一郎与东方主义》述评

Taste of China,Tour in China and Orientalism——Comments on 'Tanizaki and Orientalism'

将赛义德针对西方的东方主义理论应用于日本,并以谷崎润一郎为例具体分析了日本大正时代的东方主义话语。本书有三个特色:一、不仅指出了谷崎的东方主义话语,而且还明确了他的“西方主义”和自我东方主义的倾向。二、以“中国情趣”为突破口,来探讨谷崎与中国文学、文化的关系以及他的中国观。三、详细考察了谷崎的两次中国之旅及与中国作家的交流,并分析了中国旅行对他创作的影响。该书在中国的翻译与出版,对中国读者全面理解谷崎润一郎有很大的参考价值。
