颠覆与超越--从互文视角看《拯救溺水鱼》对《消失的地平线》的讽刺戏仿

Subersion and Transcendence--A Satirical Parody of Lost Horizon by Saving Fish from Drowning from the Perspective of Inter-textuality

《拯救溺水鱼》是谭恩美突破其一贯的写作风格而对希尔顿《消失的地平线》进行的互文性戏仿写作。通过情节、人物和主题的变动消解了《消失的地平线》中西方对东方的想象与书写,颠覆了西方的凝视心态和霸权话语,推翻了西方刻意美化东方乌托邦的政治与文化意图。对人类救赎这一命题进行了颠覆性和超越性的思考。

Saving Fish from Drowning is Amy Tan’s inter-textual parody of Hilton’s Lost Horizon.Through the changes of plot,characters and theme,it dispels the western imagination and writing of the east in Lost Horizon,subverts the western gaze mentality and hegemonic discourse,and overthrows the western political and cultural intention to deliberately beautify the Oriental Utopia.It makes a subversive and transcendental thinking on the proposition of human redemption.
