“帝国镜像”的误解——论加拿大民族身份建构

The Misunderstanding of “Mirror Image”:On the Construction of Canadian National Identity

对于自我的认知和对于空间的认知是完成民族身份建构必要的两个方面。站在居住于加拿大的英国移民及其后裔的角度来看,他们更为专注的主题并不是对自我的认知,而是对于空间的认知。根据雅克·阿康提出的镜像理论,明确的"帝国镜像"树立起他们对于自己身份清晰的自我认知,正因如此,他们并不怀疑自我的属性问题。然而,在初次面临北美洲广袤的荒野之时,他们曾经明确的"帝国镜像"不再明晰,另一种与之相反的"荒野镜像"冲入他们的心灵,激起了他们对于空间认知的迷惘。一面对自我认知的明晰,一面对空间认知的迷茫,这两种力量相互作用,撕扯着他们的内心,最终也演变成盎格鲁——加拿大民族自身认知存在悖谬的源泉。

In the two aspects of the construction of national identity,it is necessary to complete the construction of national identity. From the point of view of Canadian immigrants and their descendants, they are more focused on the subject and not on their own,but rather on the. According to the mirror theory proposed by Jacques Kang,clear ＂empire mirror＂ establish they for their own identity clear self perception,because of this. They do not doubt the property issue of self. However,when faced with the first in North America,the vast wilderness,they have clear ＂empire mirror＂ is no longer a clear and another with opposite ＂wilderness mirror＂ rushed into their hearts,aroused their lost for spatial cognition.With a clear self perception,a face of confusion of spatial cognition,the interaction of the two forces tearing their heart,eventually evolved into source of cognition of Anglo- Canadian national existence paradox.
