鲁丝·普罗厄·贾布瓦拉晚期作品中的文化漂泊者

The Cultural Wanderer Images in the Late Works by Jhabvala

露丝·普罗厄·贾布瓦拉是英语世界重要的印度书写者,她的小说《热与尘》《穷乡僻壤》《新领地》都是其晚期印度题材作品的代表作。贾布瓦拉的以上三部作品中的印度人和西方人都带有不同程度的心理创伤,且带有殖民主义的色彩。他们是典型的文化漂泊者,在印度文化和英国文化的截然不同中苦苦寻觅自身的文化渊源,在个体文化身份上体现了文化排异与混合,显示出特有的文化状态和精神体验。

Ruth Prawer Jhabvala is an important Indian writer in the English-speaking world and her novels A Backward Place,A New Dominion and Heat and Dust are representatives of her late works.Both the Indians and the Westerners in the three novels have more or less psychological trauma under the sky of colonialism.They are typical cultural vagrants,who struggle to maintain their own cultural origins between Indian and British cultures.The unique cultural state and spiritual experience are embodied by the means of cultural hybridization and cultural exclusion.
