《吉米·布莱克史密斯之歌》中的殖民二元对立状态下的陌生人

The "Stranger" in Colonial Binarism in The Chant of Jimmie Blacksmith

受上世纪七八十年代澳大利亚逆向反思土著与白人关系这一潮流的影响,《吉米·布莱克史密斯之歌》这部小说对殖民关系中个体文化生存状态的关注,未获得评论界充分认识。本文从后殖民的视角,借用"陌生人"的社会学概念,通过文本分析,认为小说一方面谴责了殖民者对土著部族的文化殖民,另一方面,也从本体论上消解了白人/黑人、殖民者/被殖民者、文明/野蛮等二元对立。同时,本文认为,小说将"陌生人"作为一种自在的文化生存状态提出来,为后殖民的文化身份研究增添了新的维度。

Due to the indigenous resurgence in Australia in the1970 s and the 1980 s,the cultural state of being in Thomas Keneally＇s The Chant of Jimmie Blacksmith has been insufficiently studied.From the postcolonial perspective,this paper argues,through textual analysis and adopting the sociological concept of ＂the stranger＂ that while the novel exposes European cultural colonization of the Australian Aborigines,it also challenges the binaristic structuration of colonial Australia,between white and black,the colonizer and the colonized,and between civilization and barbarity.As a state of cultural being,the ＂stranger＂ proposes a new dimension in the study of postcolonial cultural identity,especially that of colonized ethnicities.
