后殖民理论视角下的《柳林风声》

A Post-colonialist Interpretation of The Wind in the Willows

在后殖民理论视角下,英国经典小说《柳林风声》延续了传统的冒险故事内核,它鼓吹好奇、探索、冒险,宣扬英勇无畏的探险精神。小说文本将冒险地域和土著动物他者化,在叙述中凸显殖民者的种族优越感,认同用文化征服异己者,带有鲜明的帝国主义殖民话语色彩。《柳林风声》体现出了19世纪英国的殖民扩张和文学创作之间的暗合。

With the perspective of post - colonialism, the key meaning in the traditional adventure story is developed in The Wind in the Willows, English classic novel, which is the adventurous spirit of exploring and courageous. The adventurous place and aboriginal ani-mals become uthe other^ and ethnocentrism of colonists is emphasized in the narration and the view that dissidents are conquered with culture is given clear imperial colonial discourses. The coincidence between colonial expansion and literary creation in the 19th century is found in the novel.
