《奥斯卡与露辛达》:承受历史之重的爱情故事

Oscar and Lucinda:A Political Metaphor of Colonial Exploration

本文从"爱情之旅","文化之旅"和"心灵之旅"三个层面论述《奥斯卡与露辛达》小说中重述帝国远征、回归民族叙事的政治隐喻。并指出19世纪英国在澳洲大陆的远征不仅造成了男女主人公的爱情悲剧,而且引发了基督文化与土著文化的冲突,同时也是对人性和良知的考验。彼得.凯里让被压抑和边缘化的族群重新回到话语空间,体现出作者强烈的社会责任意识和历史使命感。

In light of the meta-narrative of British colonial exploration, this article is an attempt to reveal and expound the political metaphor of＂Love Tour＂,＂Culture Tour＂, and＂Heart Tour＂ in Oscar and Lucinda. It argues that Britain＇s 19th century exploration on the Australian continent not only brought about a tragic love story between the novel＇s male and female protagonists, but also the confrontations between Christian culture and Aboriginal culture. That Peter Carey allows the oppressed and marginalized discourse to be heard shows his strong sense of social responsibility and historical mission.
