论多丽丝·莱辛的殖民地他者书写

Confusing,Pursuing,and Crossing-borders:The Colonial Others in Doris Lessing's Works

多丽丝·莱辛一直关注他者,其作品中殖民地的黑人与流散白人女性,都是殖民地他者。《野草在歌唱》是莱辛以非洲为背景的重要作品,从文化身份视角解读该作品中黑人及白人女性的身份困惑、追寻与越界,来探讨莱辛笔下被殖民他者与女性他者的身份认同,剖析他们在异质文化冲突与融合下的文化身份嬗变过程中所遭遇的身份问题;揭示殖民地他者的生存困境与精神痛苦及殖民地深刻的权力关系,为全球化境遇下的身份认同提供启示。

Doris Lessing always keeps a watchful eye on the Other. Both the black and the diasporic white women in the colony in her works are colonial Others. The Grass Is Singing is one of Lessing＇s important works based on her life experience in Africa. The identity puzzle, pursuit, and transgression of the black and the white women in this novel are interpreted from the perspective of cultural identity. So identification of both the colonized Others and the female Others in Lessing＇s African works is explored, and their identity troubles in the process of cultural identity changes under the heterogeneous cultural conflicts and integration are analyzed. Thus, survival predicament and spiritual pain of the colonial Others as well as power operation in the colony are revealed, which provides revelation for identification in the context of globalization.
