古尔纳国内外研究现状、问题及展望

On the Study of Abdulrazak Gurnah at Home and Abroad:Reflection and Forecast

古尔纳是非洲及非洲流散文学的重要代表作家。通过全面梳理国内外古尔纳研究可以发现,现有研究视角多元、成果丰硕,主要包括空间书写研究、历史书写研究、难民主题研究、身份问题研究、叙事策略研究及双语写作研究等。然而不难发现,古尔纳研究中也存在一些明显的空白和问题,比如对其作品中的非洲本土元素挖掘不够、研究缺乏整体性与系统性以及对古尔纳的批评思想缺乏系统的概括与梳理。对于古尔纳研究尚处于起步阶段的中国学界而言,全面把握国际古尔纳研究动态,解决好现存问题,同时探索具有中国特色的研究范式,形成具有中国风格与中国气派的非洲及非洲流散文学研究话语体系意义重大。

Abdulrazak Gurnah is a representative writer of African and African diasporic literature.A comprehensive review of the research on Gurnah both at home and abroad indicates that existing Gurnah studies have already developed a wide range of research perspectives with fruitful outcomes,including investigations of his spatial writing,historical writing,refugee themes,identity issues,narrative strategies and bilingual writing.However,there are also some obvious gaps and issues that deserve further research,such as the insufficiency of research on local African elements in Gurnah’s works,the lack of holistic and systematic research on his works and his thoughts on literary criticism.In China where research on Gurnah is still at its infant stage,it will be imperative to have a comprehensive understanding of current international research on Gurnah,address existing problems,and explore new research paradigms with Chinese characteristics to construct an academic discourse system with Chinese style and Chinese mode in the field of African and African diasporic literature studies.
