他者之域：和解的希望——《耻》的后殖民解读

民族、身份认同以及主体与他者的关系问题是后殖民理论中所探讨的重要课题。从后殖民的角度解读了南非作家J.M.库切的小说《耻》。分析了后殖民时期南非白人主体地位衰落以及被边缘化、客体化,丧失身份认同感的状况;阐释了强暴所隐喻的深刻意蕴,即作为抵抗话语的强暴只是殖民压迫的复制,是殖民权力的颠倒;探讨了作品所揭示的后殖民时期非殖民化进程中宽容、和解、和谐共存的理念及其深远意义。

Hope of Reconciliation in the Locus of the Other: Post-colonial Reading of Coetzee's Disgrace

The question of identity and the relation between subject and other are both crucial issues in the post-colonial theories.This thesis deciphers the novel Disgrace by South African writer J.M.Coetzee from a post-colonial perspective. It looks into the downfall and peripherization of the subject position of the whites who become the objectified "other" and lose their identity of the privileged European whites,and illustrates that the rape of white women by black men, which is a popular trope for post-colonial discourses of resistance,is actually a repetition of colonial suppression.Discusses the conception and its significance of reconciliation,forgiveness and harmonious co-existence in the process of decolonization,as is revealed in the novel itself.
