落为“他者”的故国——形象学视域下《追风筝的人》中的阿富汗形象解读

The Homeland Seized by Otherness——An Interpretation of Afghanistan in The Kite Runner from the Perspective of Imagology

《追风筝的人》是卡勒德·胡赛尼的处女作,其勾勒出的故国阿富汗形象具有双重性:既是意识形态化的黑暗国度,又是乌托邦化的美好梦乡。这两种形象看似是对现实中阿富汗的客观反映,其实是身为注视者的胡赛尼对自身双重文化语境的主观化表达,是胡赛尼在西方权力秩序中潜意识地对美国形象进行自我认同而想象构建的“他者”。但即使作为“他者”,阿富汗在胡赛尼笔下依然是一个多维立体的故国,正是在这有温度的复杂他者形象中蕴藏着超越东西二元对立的思维方式而迈向跨文化间性的可能。

The Kite Runner is the first work of Khaled Hosseini,which outlines the image of the native country of Afghanistan,it is both an ideological dark country and a utopian dreamland.These two images seem to be an objective reflection of Afghanistan in reality,but in fact they are the subjective expression of the dual cultural context of watcher Husseini.Afghanistan is the“other”of Hosseini’s subconscious self-identification of the American image in the Western power order.But even as the“other”,Afghanistan is still a multidimensional and moving country in Hosseini’s works.It is a complex and living image that contains surpassing the Western Power order of the dualistic Opposition between East and West and the possibility of marching interculturality.
