【摘要】：《白牙》是當(dāng)代英國文壇新秀扎迪·史密斯的處女作。小說以幽默詼諧的筆法,將不同種族的信仰和文化交叉和交鋒,幾代人之間心理與溝通的斷裂和錯層,以及長達百年的時代差異與歷史荒誕,宏大凝重而又舉重若輕地濃縮于種族混雜、文化多元的二戰(zhàn)后英國的幾個街區(qū)之間,刻畫出一幅復(fù)雜遼闊的后殖民圖景,一幅世紀末的“英國寫真”。 以族裔為主題的小說并不少見,而《白牙》這部小說并沒有沉重地敘述有色移民在白人強勢文化下的悲慘遭遇,而是用近乎荒誕而又似乎很現(xiàn)實的創(chuàng)作手法向讀者展示這一少數(shù)族群的生存狀態(tài)。小說創(chuàng)作于世紀交替之際,多元文化、多民族混居似乎已經(jīng)成為全球化現(xiàn)象,新的時代背景下傳統(tǒng)觀念逐一被挑戰(zhàn),有色移民似乎無法很簡單定義自己的身份,單一身份這一概念受到挑戰(zhàn),這一新的創(chuàng)作理念使得作品具有深刻的現(xiàn)實指導(dǎo)意義。 本文正是抓住小說創(chuàng)作的現(xiàn)實意義,將研究側(cè)重點放在有色移民在處理自己的傳統(tǒng)文化和周圍強勢白人文化情況下,如何探尋自己的身份,在多民族多元化的英國社會找到自己的位置。論文通過文本細讀方式,論證二戰(zhàn)后有色移民逐漸認識自己,接受全部自己的身份構(gòu)建之路。 論文第一章為引入部分,簡短介紹作者和作品主要內(nèi)容,梳理國內(nèi)外文學(xué)評論,并指出本篇論文的研究主題和研究內(nèi)容。第二章首先指出第一代移民在理想和現(xiàn)實之中無法定位自己身份,然后指出造成這一狀態(tài)的根本原因在于在白人強勢文化侵蝕下,他們無法正確處理自己民族文化和周圍白人文化。第三章側(cè)重于第二代移民,他們有著與父輩不同的經(jīng)歷,但是因為他們不同于周圍白人同齡人的外表使得他們在定義自己身份時有了困惑,加上本民族文化第一手材料的缺乏,使得他們開始了一段很痛苦的尋找自我的歷程。在這過程中,由于對了兩種文化的認識,他們對身份的探索有了分化,一類移民追求完全西化的文化,而另一類移民沉溺于本民族傳統(tǒng)文化,這兩種行為都是通過追求文化純一性來尋找單一身份。這種單一身份的追求在雜糅文化的社會背景下注定是不能成功的。第四章是論述有色移民雜糅身份的建構(gòu),在一段尋找自我的失敗歷程之后,加上多元文化的愈演愈烈,年輕的一代移民開始接受自己,不僅接受自己的本民族文化,同時也正確對待白人文化,他們開始接受自己雜糅的身份。他們期待未來的英國社會將成為一個“根基不重要”的社會,有色人群對雜糅身份的接受在一定程度上肯定了西方文化,這對白人群體也帶來影響,最終導(dǎo)致英國性被重新構(gòu)建,沒有純正英國人。最后,通過回顧上文有色移民雜糅身份的構(gòu)建以及對單一身份概念的質(zhì)疑,升華論文的研究意義,小說審視過去和樂觀地展望未來,新時期民族問題身份問題有了可能的解決途徑。
[Abstract]:White teeth is the debut of contemporary British literary rookie Zadi Smith. With humorous writing, the novel intersects and intersects the beliefs and cultures of different races, breaks and mislayers of psychology and communication between generations, as well as the century-long differences of the times and historical absurdity. Grandiose and weighty, concentrated in the ethnically diverse and culturally diverse blocks of post-World War II Britain, a complex post-colonial picture, a portrait of Britain at the end of the century. Ethnicity-themed novels are not uncommon, and White teeth does not give a heavy account of the tragic experience of colored immigrants in a dominant white culture. Instead, it shows the existence of this minority group to the reader with an almost absurd and seemingly realistic way of writing. The novel was written at the turn of the century. It seems that multiculturalism and multiculturalism have become a phenomenon of globalization. Under the background of the new era, traditional concepts have been challenged one by one, and it seems that colored immigrants cannot easily define their identity. The concept of single identity is challenged, which makes the work have profound practical significance. This paper is to grasp the practical significance of novel creation, and focus on how to explore their identity while dealing with their traditional culture and the surrounding strong white culture. Find their place in a multi-ethnic British society. In this paper, the author demonstrates that after World War II, colored immigrants gradually recognize themselves and accept the road of building their identity. The first chapter is the introduction part, briefly introduces the author and the main content of the works, combs the domestic and foreign literature review, and points out the research theme and research content of this thesis. The second chapter first points out that the first generation of immigrants are unable to identify themselves in the ideal and reality, and then points out that the root cause of this situation lies in the erosion of a strong white culture. They were unable to properly handle their own national culture and the surrounding white culture. The third chapter focuses on the second generation of immigrants, who have different experiences than their parents, but because their appearance differs from the white peers around them, they are confused in defining their identity and lack of first-hand material about their own culture. They began a painful journey to find themselves. In the process, as a result of the understanding of the two cultures, their search for identity was divided. One group of immigrants sought a completely westernized culture, while the other kind of immigrants indulged in the traditional culture of their own nation. Both acts seek a single identity through the pursuit of cultural purity. The pursuit of this single identity is doomed to be unsuccessful in the social background of mixed culture. The fourth chapter discusses the construction of the mixed identity of non-ferrous immigrants. After a period of failure to find themselves, and the growing multiculturalism, the younger generation of immigrants began to accept themselves, not only their own national culture. At the same time, they also treat white culture correctly, they begin to accept their mixed identity. They expect that the future of British society will become a society of "little importance", and that the acceptance of the mixed identity of the nonferrous population has to a certain extent affirmed Western culture, which has also had an impact on the white population. Eventually, the British sex was rebuilt, without pure English. Finally, by reviewing the construction of the mixed identity of colored immigrants and questioning the concept of single identity, sublimating the significance of the thesis, the novel examines the past and looks forward to the future optimistically. In the new period, there is a possible solution to the problem of national identity.
