后殖民生态视域中的奈保尔“印度三部曲”研究

A Postcolonial-ecocritical Interpretation of Naipaul′s India Trilogy

后殖民作家奈保尔的非小说文学作品一直备受评论界关注。在《幽暗国度》中,奈保尔用西方批评家的视角嘲讽了印度文化中的种种不足。而在《印度:受伤的文明》和《印度:百万叛变的今天》中,他较为客观地展现了印度在民族复苏过程中遇到的社会与生态环境问题。文章从后殖民生态批评的视角,通过剖析奈保尔笔下充满殖民暴力的环境书写与残留在印度社会中的文化霸权主义,唤起读者对后殖民语境下的发展问题的再思考,呼吁重建一个种族平等、人与自然关系和谐的生态环境。

The non-fiction works of the post-colonial writer V.S.Naipaul have always been in the spotlight of the critics.In An Area of Darkness,Naipaul shows criticisms of various weaknesses in the Indian culture as a severe Western critic.In his following books,India:A Wounded Civilization and India:A Million Mutinies Now,social and ecological problems in the process of India′s revitalization are objectively reflected.Read from a postcolonial-ecocritical perspective,the description of landscape is full of colonial intrusion and that of the Indian society remains cultural hegemonism.In the postcolonial context,people need to rethink the development issues and try to rebuild a harmonious ecological environment.
