旅行文学三题

Travel literature three titles

旅行文学源远流长,但旅行文学长期以来被视为亚类文学,被主流批评话语所忽视。自上世纪九十年代以来,旅行文学开始受到越来越多的批评家的重视。旅行文学批评主要以萨义德和福柯等人的后现代理论为研究范式,对隐藏其中的话语权力和意识形态进行剖析阐释。该文从旅行实践与旅行文学的发生、旅行文学对异域的想象性建构、旅行文学与文化身份的关系等方面探讨旅行文学在异域想象与民族身份建构过程中所起的重要作用。

Despite its long history,travel literature has not been paid due attention to by academic scholars until 1990s.Post-modern theories such as post-colonialism and post-structuralism are habitually adopted as analytic instruments in the process of critical reading on travel texts.A brief review of travel literature and its study,the nature of travel literature and its exoticism,and the role it played in the construction of national identity are carefully discussed in the present thesis.
