古尔纳对难民文化身份认同自我建构的观照——以《朝圣者之路》为中心的考察

Gurnah’s reflections on the self-construction of refugees’cultural identity——An examination centered on The Pilgrim’s Progress

身份认同是2021年诺贝尔文学奖获得者古尔纳在小说中一直关注的问题,尤其在他的第二部小说《朝圣者之路》中表现更为突出。古尔纳在小说中以主人公达乌德在英国当地文化环境遭遇文化身份危机为线索,书写他找到文化融合的方式,完成文化身份认同的自我建构。《朝圣者之路》不但呈现古尔纳对难民文化身份认同自我建构的观照,而且体现深切的人道主义关怀。

Identity is an issue that Gurnah,winner of the 2021 Nobel Prize in Literature,has always been concerned about in his novels,especially in his second novel,The Pilgrim’s Progress.In the novel,Gurnah takes the protagonist Daud’s cultural identity crisis in the British local cultural environment as a clue,and writes that he finds the way of cultural integration and completes the self-construction of cultural identity.The Pilgrim’s Progress not only presents Gurnah’s observation on the self-construction of the cultural identity of refugees,but also reflects his deep humanitarian concern.
