历史的颠覆——《耻》中白人对自身处境的发问

A Subversion World——The Self-existence Confusion of the White People in the Novel“Disgrace”

种族隔离制度废除后的南非,并没有因为政治上的改变而马上趋于和谐,历史遗留问题在这时才真正开始浮现。在后殖民时期,西方中心主义被逐渐消解,殖民地人民渐渐找回失落的民族自尊和自信。东西方文明由对抗到对话的新型关系,要求推翻以往的固定思维,寻找自己新的位置。南非作家库切的《耻》对后殖民时代白人在前殖民地如何自处的问题做了深入细致的勾勒,为思考上述文化论题提供了理想的个案。

Coetzee, a writer from South Africa, makes a full description of white people＇ s hfe in the colony in post colonial time. Disgrace is a great offer as a case study for analyzing the above mentioned cultural topic.
