后殖民视角下蕾拉·阿伯里拉《博物馆》中的身份认同

Identity in Leila Aboulela's“The Museum”from a Postcolonial Perspective

以非裔女作家蕾拉·阿伯里拉(Leila Aboulela)旅英期间的短篇小说《博物馆》(The Museum)为研究对象,参照陶家俊对后殖民身份认同政治三个阶段的划分,研究女主人公莎迪(Shadia)的身份认同问题.研究发现:在小说的开端、发展、高潮部分,莎迪依次经历了种族身份认同、民族身份认同、族裔散居混合身份认同,契合陶家俊关于三个阶段的提法.

Taking the short story"The Museum"by The African female writer Leila Aboulela during her stay in Britain as the object of study,this paper studies the identity of the heroine Shadia by referring to Tao Jiajun's classification of the three stages of post-colonial identity politics.It is found that in the beginning,development and climax of the novel,Shadia experiences racial identity,national identity and mixed identity of ethnic diaspora successively,which fits in with Tao Jiajun's suggestion of three stages.
