举意与旁观——论张承志与V.S.奈保尔的伊斯兰写作

Vowing and Watching:Contrastive Study of Zhang Chengzhi’s and V.S.Naipaul’s Islamic Writing

本文比较研究中国作家张承志与印裔英国作家V.S.奈保尔的伊斯兰写作,具体分析了张承志的小说《心灵史》和V.S.奈保尔的《在信徒的国度：伊斯兰世界之旅》等作品。本文认为：张承志的伊斯兰写作表现出强烈的前现代的激情,是圈内人的“文明内部的发言”,其写作姿态是“主位的”（EMIC）。而奈保尔的伊斯兰写作是圈外人的研究,其写作姿态是“客位的”（ETIC）,他只是一个旁观者、思考者和批评者,并表现出西方世界的伊斯兰俗见。主位的文化感受和客位的文化感受,是这两位作家的伊斯兰写作最大的不同。
