错位、混杂、超越——流散视阈中的卡里尔·菲利普斯《渡河》研究

Dislocation,Hybridity,Transcendence——Research on Caryl Phillips' s Crossing the River in Diaspora Perspective

作为菲利普斯所有作品中最知名的一部,《渡河》不仅仅让他两次入选布莱克纪念奖,还对流散问题的探讨最为深刻,几乎囊括了菲利普斯所有流散思想的核心内容,分别是错位主题、混杂本质和超越期盼。错位是卡里尔·菲利普斯生存常态的真实写照,也是他的作品中常见的主题。从第一部小说《最后的通道》开始,菲利普斯就不断的关注流散视阈中的"错位"。而在"错位"主题的基础上,菲利普斯流散思想的本质是提倡一种独特的混杂流散观念,不计种族、民族和性别的差异,将处于流散中的所有群族考虑在内,这是一种开放的、流动的反本质主义的流散思想。而菲利普斯呼吁的是一种能够超越种族、民族和性别差异的流散观念。

Crossing the River, which is a most known novel in all of the works of Cryl Phillips, not only lets him be chosen to win The James Tait Black Memorial Prize two times but also discusses the Diaspora problem deepest, almost covering the core contents of his Diaspora thoughts which are dislocation theme, hybridity nature and transcendence expectation respectively. Dislocation is the real description of his life and is also a common theme in his works. Since his first novel The Final Passage, Caryl Phillips has been continuously concerning about“dislocation” in Diaspora perspective, on the basis of“dislocation” theme, however, the essence of his Diaspora thoughts aims to advocate a kind of unique hybridized Diaspora outlook without considering the difference in races, nationalities and genders but to consider all races and nationalities in Diaspora, which is a kind of open, moveable and anti-essentialism Diaspora thought while what Phillips appeals is a kind of Diaspora outlook with transcending the difference in races, nationalities and genders.
