后殖民文化理论的“新生”--评石海军《后殖民：印英文学之间》

Rebirth of Post-Colonial Cultural Theory:A Review of Literature Between India and Britain:A Post-Colonial Perspective

后殖民文化理论和任何一种有生命力的理论一样会以某种方式浸润于文学和文化批评之中,不仅得到凤凰涅槃似的"新生",而且呈现为某种实证性的存在。石海军先生的新作《后殖民:印英文学之间》恰当地将后殖民理论作为一个切入点,结合具体作家作品,对现当代印度文学、印度流散文学与西方文学的影响关系作了深入的考察,使后殖民文化研究由理论脱胎换骨为实绩性的文学研究,并带给读者冷静的思考和启发。

Post-colonial culture theory, like any kind of theory with vitality, will, in a certain way, be integrated into literature and cultural criticism. The theory not only achieves rebirth like the Nirvana Phoenix but also presents itself as empirical existence. Shi Haijun＇ s new book, Literature Between India and Britain ： A Post-Colonial Perspective, with postcolonical theory as a breakthrough point, probes into the mutual influence relationship between Contemporary Indian Literature, Indian Diaspora Literature and Western Literature with reference to specific works of different authors, which turns postcolonial cultural theory into practical literary study and inspires sober-minded contemplation and illumination from readers.
