大历史,小叙事——阿迪契《半轮黄日》中的历史创伤叙事

Grand History and Little Narrative:The Traumatic Narrative in Adichie’s Half of a Yellow Sun

《半轮黄日》是尼日利亚新生代作家阿迪契的长篇小说代表作之一。在作品中,阿迪契以尼日利亚内战为背景,坚持不偏不倚的"情感性真实"的叙事立场,将家庭作为历史创伤的记忆和表征空间,以微观视野呈现宏大主题,有效处理了历史真实、虚构叙事和创伤记忆之间的关系,以非"独调"性的多元化叙事形态建构起小说的历史创伤叙事。

C.N.Adichie is a famous contemporary Nigerian novelist, who is labeled by critics as one of the third-generation African women writers.In Half of a Yellow Sun, she takes family as a space of recalling and presenting the grand history of the Biafra War with "emotional truth" to harmonize the relationship between historical truth, fictional narrative and traumatic memory.In this way Adichie builds a narrative of historical trauma with multidimensional modern narrative forms.
