流放在自己的国土之内——后殖民主义表征体系下的《野草在歌唱》

Exiled on Their Own Motherland:Analysis of The Grass Is Singing in the Light of the Post-Colonialism

表征系统中的东方主义凝视、土著话语权缺失和东西方想象地理空间划分等殖民主义视角人为地在殖民者与土著之间设置界限,实现彼此隔离。后殖民主义支配性表征中的权力与种族、主流与边缘、支配与被支配在《野草在歌唱》中找到现代注脚。白人殖民者将自身观念和附加想象强加到处于边缘族群的南罗得西亚土著身上,使其沦落为边缘地势上的他者,流放于自己的国土之内。

Colonialism perspectives such as the oriental gaze, the absence of discourse rights and the imaginative geological division between the east and the west in the representation system purposefully set limits between the colonialists and the aboriginals to realize their mutual separation. The power and the races, the mainstream and the marginal, the dominating and the dominated in post-colonialism representation find their modern footnote in The Grass Is Singing. The white colonialists impose their personal ideas and additional imaginations on the the South Rhodesian aboriginals, rendering them the othered races in the periphery and exiles on their own land.
