内忧外患的伊博文明——以萨义德的合作观解析伊博文明的瓦解

Igbo Civilization with Internal and External Troubles: An Analysis of Collapse of Igbo Civilization through Said's Theory on Collaboration

在代表作《瓦解》中,钦努阿·阿契贝以主人公奥贡喀沃为线索,向我们讲述了伊博文明瓦解的过程。伊博文明的最终瓦解既有其自身内部的原因,也是西方文明入侵的结果。文章试图通过萨义德的合作观揭示伊博族人和西方殖民者在伊博文明瓦解过程中的共谋关系,进而证明伊博文明的瓦解是二者合力下的必然结果。

In his representative work, Things Fall Apart, Chinua Achebe shows us the process of collapse of Igbo civilization through the hero Okonkwo. The final collapse of Igbo civilization is caused for both internal reasons and invasion of western civilization. This collaborative relationship between the Igbo people and western colonizers paper tries to show the through Said＇s theory on collaboration, and then to prove that the collapse of Igbo civilization is the inevitable final conse- quence of the two joint forces.
