【摘要】：维·苏·奈保尔是后殖民文学领域最重要的作家之一。复杂的生活背景和个人经历让他始终处于东西方文化的混杂地带。特殊的文化背景和个人经历决定了奈保尔的多重文化身份,从而造就了奈保尔特殊的文化视角和敏感的洞察力。因此,奈保尔很多作品都反映了后殖民地人民真实的社会状况和生活状况。1979年出版的小说《河湾》是奈保尔的代表作之一。这部小说包含的丰富的政治及文化意义值得研究。通过霍米巴巴第三空间理论,本文主要探讨了奈保尔如何通过创作小说《河湾》为建立这种“霍式”第三空间做出的各种设想,以及他最终如何寓言式地宣布这种构想的失败。文章同时也剖析了这种失败的必然性。首先,本文分析了奈保尔如何构建第三空间。这个部分阐明了奈保尔计划在《河湾》中建立的第三空间的特征,即时空特征(历史维度),文化和文化身份特征(文化维度),而这些特征恰好与霍米巴巴第三空间的特征相符,从而证明了奈保尔第三空间的理论来源。如果说霍米巴巴是这一思想的创建者,奈保尔则是这种思想的乌托邦式的践行者。此外,本文还探讨了奈保尔如何通过小说中各种人物对河湾的不同态度来探求建设第三空间的方式。其次,本文分析了导致奈保尔第三空间幻灭的主要因素:第三空间的时空条件的特殊性,文化身份的混杂性和文化认同的模糊性,和因此而必然会导致的文化冲突。最后,通过本文发现要达成不同文化的协调是非常困难的。奈保尔在作品中暗示很难将西方主流文化和后殖民社会的本土文化和谐地融为一体,因此,激烈的文化冲突导致“霍式”第三空间的幻灭。根据霍米巴巴的理论,奈保尔原本希望在自己的文学世界建立这种和谐的第三空间,但他最终却发现第三空间仅仅是一个乌托邦式的概念,现实世界无法轻易达到。于是,他以小说悲剧性的结局宣布了这一结论。
[Abstract]:Wei Su Naipaul is one of the most important writers in the field of postcolonial literature. His complicated life background and personal experience make him always in the mixed zone of eastern and western cultures. The special cultural background and personal experience determine Naibao. Er's multi-cultural identity. Thus creating Naipaul's special cultural perspective and sensitive insight. Many of Naipaul's works reflect the real social and living conditions of the post-colonial people. The 1979 novel, the Rivers, is one of Naipaul's masterpieces. The novel contains a wealth of politics and culture. Meaning is worth studying. Through HomiBaba's third space theory. This paper mainly discusses how Naipaul made various ideas for the establishment of the third space of the "Huo style" through the creation of the novel "River Bay". And how he finally fable the failure of this idea. The article also analyzes the inevitability of this failure. First. This paper analyzes how Naipaul constructs the third space. This part illustrates the characteristics of the third space which Naipaul plans to establish in the River Bay, namely the space-time feature (historical dimension). Cultural and cultural identity (cultural dimension), which coincides with the characteristics of HomiBaba's third space. This proves the theoretical source of Naipaul's third space. If HomiBaba is the creator of this thought, Naipaul is the utopian practitioner of the thought. This paper also discusses how Naipaul explores the way of constructing the third space through the different attitudes of various characters to the river bay in the novel. This paper analyzes the main factors leading to the disillusionment of Naipaul's third space: the particularity of the space-time condition of the third space, the mixing of cultural identity and the ambiguity of cultural identity. And the resulting cultural conflict. Finally. It is found that it is very difficult to achieve the harmony of different cultures. Naipaul suggests in his works that it is difficult to integrate the mainstream culture of the West and the native culture of the post-colonial society harmoniously. The fierce cultural conflict led to the disillusionment of the third space of the Huo style. According to HomiBaba's theory, Naipaul had hoped to establish this kind of harmonious third space in his literary world. But he finally found that the third space was only a utopian concept, which could not be easily reached in the real world, so he announced this conclusion with the tragic ending of the novel.
