《菊子夫人》的形象学解读

An Imagologie Study of the Novel of Madame Chrysanthème

《菊子夫人》是法国著名作家皮埃尔·洛蒂描写日本之行的一部小说。洛蒂眼中的日本自然和人文景观虽美丽却显得小气拘谨,他对日本人充满了鄙夷嫌弃之情,对自己的日本婚姻和妻子菊子夫人采取玩世不恭的态度。从形象学的角度看,任何异域描写都是一种文化想象。洛蒂笔下的日本作为一面镜子,折射出法国人作为西方发达国家殖民者的傲慢与偏见。

Madame Chrysantheme is a novel of French writer Pierre Loti which describes his trip to Japan. In the eyes of Pierre Loti, Japan＇ s natural and humanistic landscape is beautiful, but of petty formality. He expressed his disdain to the Japanese and his Japanese wife. From the perspective of imagologie, any foreign description is a kind of cultural imagination. Pierre Loti＇ s description of Japan reflects the French people＇ s pride and prejudice as the colonists from western developed countries.
