摘要
由于运用想象、夸张等虚构性叙事手法加工家族历史,加拿大斯里兰卡裔流散作家迈克尔·翁达杰的小说《世代相传》被很多评论家指责具有浓厚的东方主义色彩。本文通过分析其创作背景的复杂性和叙事策略的丰富性,对东方主义者与翁达杰在虚构动机与叙述本质、虚构痕迹与作者权威意识以及塑造的东方形象与作者立场等方面进行比较后认为,翁达杰的小说具有"虚构的真实性",属于非东方主义叙事。
Owing to the fictitious narrative techniques,such as imagination and exaggeration,used in family history narration,Sri Lankan-Canadian writer Michael Ondaatje's novel Running in the Family is criticized as a writing of Orientalism.The complexity of his writing background and the variety of narrating strategies considered,this essay aims to make the case that the novel is non-orientalist on account of its'fictional reality',through comparing the motivations of fabricating,authoritative awareness,and standpoints between the Orientalist and Michael Ondaatje.
