尼泊尔文学研究:空间叙事与身份书写

The Study of Nepali Literature:Spatial Narrative and Identity Writing

近几十年来,尼泊尔加德满都泰米尔地区成为了尼泊尔作家在其故事、小说、回忆录、戏剧和诗歌中书写的重要地理空间。《泰米尔之旅》和《朋友》就是以泰米尔为叙事背景的两部典型作品。本文从泰米尔空间叙事与身份认同的困境、城市空间书写与泰米尔身份的表征两方面来阐释尼泊尔文学中的地理空间叙事与身份书写,以此来论述尼泊尔加德满都泰米尔地区作为一个多人种、多语言、多文化的新型旅游地区,当地人所面临的身份困境,阐释泰米尔所具有的冲突性、世界性和尼泊尔性的身份建构,以及城市人文环境的变化带给泰米尔地区本身和当地人身份认同的困境,同时说明了文学文本以其特殊的表达对城市空间中各类事件的文学性表征。

In recent decades,there has been a marked increase in Nepali authors writing stories,novels,memoirs,plays,and poems that are prominently set in the Kathmandu neighborhood of Thamel.Journey to Thamel and Friends are two typical works that use Thamel as a narrative setting.This article explores geospatial narratives and identity writing in Nepali literature from two scopes:Thamel spatial narratives and the dilemma of identity;urban spatial writing and the representation of Thamel identity.It illustrates the identity dilemma faced by the locals in the Kathmandu neighborhood of Thanel,Nepal,as a new multi-ethnic,multi-lingual and multi-cultural tourist region,and the conflicting,cosmopolitan and Nepali identity constructions that Thamel has,as well as the dilemmas brought to the Thamel region itself and the locals' identity by the changes in the urban human environment,while illustrating the literary representation of various events in the urban space by the literary texts with their special expressions.
