认知暴力下民族意识与文化的自觉——再读《原乡人》

Ethnic Consciousness against Cognitive Violence and Cultural Consciousness——Re-reading Hometown Man

《原乡人》问世后,被两岸学者不断解读,有些解读已经超越了艺术创作本身的范畴,造成了曲解与误读。钟理和人生坎坷,既受过中国传统文化教育,又被迫接受多年殖民教育;经历了日据台湾、大陆抗战、台湾光复等不同的中国历史时期。作为在殖民地环境下成长起来的作家,他对被殖民者的痛苦有最深切的感受,《原乡人》从文化的视角揭示了认知暴力对殖民地人民造成的巨大心理伤害,探析了暴力压迫下被殖民者族群意识觉醒的可能性与必然性。

Hometown Man has been constantly interpreted by scholars on both sides of the Taiwan Straits after its publication and some interpretations have transcended the category of art itself, causing the distortion and misunderstanding. CHUNG Li-ho has a bumpy life, educated both with Chinese traditional culture and forced to accept many years of colonial education; He experiences differ- ent historical periods of China such as Japanese occupation of Taiwan, China's Mainland Anti-Japanese War, Taiwan＇s recovery. As a grown-up writer in a colonial environment, he knows the pain of the colonists and Hometown Man reveals the great psychological harm of cognitive violence from the perspective of culture, probing into the possibility and necessity of the awakening of ethnic conscious- ness of the colonists against the violent oppression.
