《卡彭塔利亚湾》中自然书写的文化政治学

The Cultural Politics of Nature Writings in Carpentaria

当代澳大利亚土著作家亚历克西斯·赖特的小说《卡彭塔利亚湾》,呈现了两种不同的自然书写:惨遭殖民者破坏的自然和与土著和谐共存的自然。从文化政治学的视角分析,小说中的自然绝不仅仅是一种物质存在,它也与文化、政治、权力话语缠绕在一起,成为一个蕴涵着民族宏大叙事的策略性表达。赖特书写卡彭塔利亚湾的独特自然景观,旨在传达她对土著文化身份、人与自然相处模式和异质文化融合途径的深层思考。

Alexis Wright is a contemporary indigenous writer of Australia. In her Carpentaria,there are two different kinds of writings about nature: the one destroyed by colonists and the other being in harmony with the aborigines. From the perspective of cultural politics,the nature is no less than a material existence,but interwoven with the cultural,political and power discourses,and it becomes a strategic expression conveying the national grand narration. By depicting the unique nature in Carpentaria,Wright expresses her profound thinking about the construction of aboriginal people's culture identity,the harmonious coexist mode between human and nature,and the means of realizing cultural fusion.
