论托马斯·金在《草长青,水长流》中的颠覆性模拟

Subversive Mimicry in Thomas King's Green Grass,Running Water

在《草长青,水长流》中,当代印第安小说家托马斯·金对代表西方基督教文化的《圣经》以及白人文学经典《白鲸》进行了颠覆性模拟,呈现给读者一个"与殖民者相同,又完全不同的"且充满反讽意味的书写,在展现印第安传统文化的同时,颠覆了殖民话语权威,使得作为属下的印第安人也可以发声,从而消解白人文化霸权对印第安民族的控制与主宰。

In Green Grass,Running Water,Thomas King employs a subversive mode of mimicry to parody the Judeo-Christian sacred stories The Bible and European American literary canon Moby Dick,offering the readers satirical account of ＂the same but not quite,the same but not white＂ world.Through subversive mimicry,King illustrates the importance of American Indian tradition and culture and at the same time subverts the authority of colonial discourse.As a consequence,the American Indian as subaltern can speak and the dominance over American Indians from the white cultural hegemony is dissolved.
