“狼之子”的正反想象:杰克·伦敦眼中的中国移民

The Pros and Cons of Imagination of 'the Son of Wolves' :the Chinese Immigrants in the Eyes of Jack London

杰克·伦敦一生共创作了六部有关中国和中国移民形象的作品,既有对中国丑化的一面,也有对中国理解、同情的一面。虽然摆脱不了种族主义的阴影,但其更为理性的思考与更为客观的描述使得他对中国、对中西文化之间的交流做出了巨大的贡献。本文将从杰克·伦敦自身的心理因素和所处的社会历史背景来探讨他对中国移民形象正反想象的原因。

Jack London created altogether six China and Chinese immigrants related works, which show his completely different views to China, uglification as well as understanding and sympathy. Although in the shadow of racism, Jack London made great contributions to the communication between Chinese and Western culture for a more rational thinking and more objective description. This paper will explore Jack London＆#39;s reasons of his pros and cons of imagination toward Chinese immigrants＆#39; images from his psychological factors and the social, historical background.
