从赤裸生命到世界公民——从《日光》看难民的身份重建

From a Naked Life to a Citizen of the World——Based on the Refugee's Identity Reconstruction in The Light of Day

英国当代作家格雷厄姆·斯威夫特的作品大多探讨人在面对极大心理危机时的心理反应和行为表现。《日光》中的难民个体因为民族国家政治身份的丧失和心理秩序的坍塌,而成为被排除在一切法律和人类共同体之外的赤裸生命。面对存在的绝境,生存的本能使她想象性自欺地将避难国优秀的他者形象当做自己生命的本质加以复制,以重建自己瓦解的主体性。而心理机能恢复的难民个体摆脱了他者的侵凌性占据,重生为兼具原在国和避难国特质的具有国际化身份和全人类视野的世界公民,重建了自己的政治身份与心理身份。

The works of Graham Swift,a British contemporary writer,mostly explore people's psychological response and behavior in the face of a great psychological crisis.The refugee in The Light of Day becomes a naked life who is excluded from all the laws and human communities because of the loss of the nation's political identity and the collapse of the psychological order.Faced with the hopeless situation of existence,the instinct for survival makes her copy the image of the country's excellent others as her own for reconstructing her disintegrating subjectivity with the imaginary self-deception.However,when the refugee's mental mechanism is restored,she gets rid of the aggression of the others,and is reborn as a citizen of the world with qualities allied by the other countries and her original country and with the international status and human vision,so that she rebuilds her political identity and psychological identity.
