【摘要】：V.S.奈保尔,是英国著名作家,与拉什迪、石墨一雄一起并称为“英国移民文学三雄”。奈保尔有着复杂的文化身份,母国是印度,出生地是特里尼达,现有国籍是英国。这种复杂的文化背景导致他产生文化身份的认同危机。在奈保尔的许多带有自传性质的作品中,对文化身份的追寻成了一个永恒的主题。本文以奈保尔的文化身份追寻为突破口,分析了他的三个精神家园：特立尼达、印度、英国对他的影响,在此基础上选择了以这三地为写作背景的有代表性的作品为研究对象,通过认真研读作品,多角度多层次地论述奈保尔文化身份的追寻过程。本文将从流散文学的角度,借助文化身份认同、后殖民主义、第三空间等相关理论,深入探讨奈保尔五部有代表性的作品——《米格尔街》、《幽暗国度》、《印度：受伤的文明》、《印度：百万叛变的今天》、《抵达之谜》,探索造成他身份困惑与追寻的社会、文化、历史根源,揭示作品的社会现实意义。通过研究,我们可以得出这样的结论：奈保尔的文化身份与文化认同是多元的、混杂的,他的文化身份是由特立尼达文化、印度文化、英国文化在他身上相互影响、相互作用而成。最终通过旅行与写作、通过对自我文化身份的反思,他形成了混杂性文化身份与文化认同。论文绪言部分将首先介绍国内奈保尔的研究现状,简明阐述关于文化身份构建与认同的定义以及论文的构思与创新等。正文第一章分析奈保尔的多元文化身份,探讨他的三个精神家园(特立尼达、印度、英国)对他的影响。第二章选取《米格尔街》为研究对象,展现米格尔街的市井生活百态,分析作品中的逃离主题,表现一个无根人的文化身份危机。第三章探讨奈保尔的印度三部曲,通过对《幽暗国度》、《印度：受伤的文明》、《印度：百万叛变的今天》的研究,表明奈保尔对母国印度的态度变化：从厌恶到理解再到包容的文化寻根之旅。第四章分析奈保尔的自传体小说《抵达之谜》,探讨英帝国文化没落对奈保尔的影响以及在此基础上对混杂性文化身份的构建与认同的形成。最后,在论文结语部分分析了多元文化身份对文学创作的影响。对奈保尔而言,多元文化身份背景使他具备了理解文化差异的必要素质,也使他获得了观察世界和人生的有利地位,从这个意义上说他是被他的特殊身份造就的伟大作家。
