论《沙丘花园》中鬼舞的文化抵抗策略

On the Strategies of Cultural Resistance of Ghost Dance in Gardens in the Dunes

在《沙丘花园》中,西尔科对土著文化身份的诉求建构在传统文化之上。在后殖民语境下,土著传统文化则是作者进行文化抵抗的有效策略。作者将土著文化表征之一的鬼舞,刻画成书写身份话语的精神之源,在与主流文化的较衡中,彰显其存在的价值与意义。另外,小说中虚实结合的历史叙述方式,又直接切中美国历史书写的问题所在,表明作者意在探寻重建文化历史身份的可行性。与此同时,作者还将鬼舞转化为文化大同的符码,以体现其政治理想。

The identification of the India culture pursued by Leslie Marmon Silko in Gardens in the Dunes is based on the traditional cultures,but the Native American traditional culture becomes effective strategies of his cultural resistance in the context of post-colonization. On the one hand,Silko shapes ghost dance,one of the representatives of Native American culture,as the spiritual source of writing Native American identity discourse,manifesting the value and significance of the Indian culture through the contrast to the dominate culture. On the other hand,the combination of fiction and history under the reference to ghost dance reveals the existing issues in American historical writing,reflecting her aims at exploring the possibility of reconstructing the cultural historical identity by reexamining the history. Meanwhile,Silko describes the ghost dance as a symbol of great unity of cultures to express her political ideal.
