阿契贝小说《荒原蚁丘》中的后现代伦理叙事

The Postmodern Ethical Narrative in Achebe's Novel Anthills of the Savannah

后现代西方伦理学以后现代文化理论为基础,提出了承认差异、尊重他者、承担对他者的绝对责任,以及建构最低限度后现代伦理共同体的核心观念。在其小说《荒原蚁丘》中,阿契贝用平行结构表达了承认差异的主张,用互文叙事呼吁尊重他者并承担对他者的绝对责任,用变换视角的多重叙事寻求建构后现代伦理共同体的途径。阿契贝采用的平行结构、互文叙事和多重叙事等后现代伦理叙事手法,与后现代伦理道德价值观一致,消除了自我与他者之间的二元对立,批判了非洲买办资产阶级与西方资本联和压迫大众、排斥和否定处于边缘地位的他者的现代伦理。

Based on post-modern cultural theory,postmodern Western ethics puts forward the core concepts of recognizing differences,respecting others,bearing absolute responsibility for the Other,and building a minimum postmodern ethical community.In his novel Anthills of the Savannah,Chinua Achebe expresses the assertion of recognition of differences in parallel structures,calls for respect for the Other and assuming absolute responsibility for the Other in intertextual narration,and seeks ways to construct the postmodern ethical community with multiple narratives from different perspectives.These postmodern ethical narratives such as parallel structure,intertextual narration,and multiple narratives that Achebe uses are consistent with the postmodern ethical and moral values,rejecting the dualistic opposition between self and the Other,criticizing the modern ethics of the African Comprador bourgeoisie who unite Western capital to oppress the masses,and exclude the Other who are in a marginal position.
