现代流亡知识分子的无根性反思——《河湾》的后殖民文化解读

Reflections upon the Rootlessness of Modern Intellectuals in Exile: Cultural Critique of A Bend in the River from Postcolonial Perspective

在《河湾》中,后殖民作家奈保尔通过描写一群流亡的知识分子在河湾的不幸遭遇,揭示了一段曾被掩盖的历史,即遵守丛林法则的本土文化与外来文明之间的激烈冲突;同时,《河湾》也是对生活在这一社会背景之下,具有多重文化身份的现代流亡知识分子无根性困境的深刻反思。

In A Bend in the River V. S. Naipaul, a postcolonial writer shows us how a group of intellectuals suffer in an alien world and reveals a true historical fact that there lies a violent conflict between indigenous culture and foreign culture. He also makes an in-depth analysis and exploration of the rootlessness of modern man in such cultural situations.
