伊丽莎白·乔利小说的边缘意识

Marginal Awareness in Elizabeth Jolley’s Fiction

回顾伊丽莎白·乔利的一生,读者很容易发现被边缘化的生活经历渗入了她的整个创作过程,折射出乔利作为一名混血儿、女作家和澳大利亚人内心深处的孤独感和疏离感。她作品中人物的历史边缘感、社会边缘感和文化边缘感反映了边缘人的心理恐惧,历史的歧视以及意义的缺失。她以同情的笔调描写边缘人的痛苦与困惑,挖掘新的人生意义,使无序而悲伤的故事透露出某种希望。

As a mixed-blood Australian woman writer, Elizabeth Jolley experienced a growing sense of loneliness and estrangement, which explains her consistent concern for the marginalized. Her sympathetic narration of living at the margins of society probes into the psychological trauma of the marginalized, the loss of meaning in its cultural context and the historical roots of discrimination. In this light, Jolley＇ s fictional projection of her own life is not only an expression of her sympathy towards the plight of the marginalized, but also an attempt to face hardships and hope for a better life.
