从后殖民主义视角解读《吉米·布莱克史密斯的歌声》中土著的暴力反抗

The Postcolonial Analysis of Aboriginal Violence in The Chant of Jimmie Blacksmith

本文探讨了澳大利亚著名作家托马斯·基尼利的代表作《吉米·布莱克史密斯的歌声》所反映的后殖民主义暴力反抗的历史文化内涵,即暴力的根源是压迫,压迫越深,暴力越甚。而且暴力反抗者试图彻底打破主/客、白/黑二元对立的西方白人意识形态中的"超验所指",结果就只能是以卵击石般的毁灭。正值澳大利亚建立联邦之际的大背景下,暴力反抗的政治意义和文化涵义得到了成倍的放大和提升。

The paper deals with the historical and cultural significance of postcolonial violence in noted Australian author, Thomas Keneally＇ s novel the Chant of Jimmy Blacksmith, i.e. the root cause of violence is oppression, or, the more oppression, the more violence. The violence seeker attempts to shatter such ＂ transcendental signifieds＂ as subject/object, white/black binary oppositions in white ideology. The result will be obviously ruinous. Under the grand background of founding Australian Commonwealth, the historical and cultural significance of postcolonial violence is magnified and multiplied.
