《心中的明天》“梦幻”世界观解读

文章以澳大利亚著名原住民作家吉姆·斯科特的获奖小说《心中的明天》第一章为例，通过分析文中出现的吟唱仪式和死亡之鸟的神话传说这两种澳洲原住民的文化形式，说明澳洲原住民的“梦幻”世界观是作者建构原住民身份和抨击殖民统治者同化政策的认知基础，读者只有了解作者内化了的“梦幻”世界观，使之成为作者——文本——读者互动的认知桥梁，才能理解文本特有的文化内涵，从而把握作品的主旨，体验作者的情感。

"Dreaming" Worldview Underpinning the Interpretation of Benang:From the Heart

Based on Chapter One of the Miles Franklin award-winning fiction Benang:From the Heart by the Australian aboriginal writer Kim Scott, and through analyzing two Australian aboriginal oral traditions—campfire song practice and the myth of death bird, the present study has found that Australian aboriginal "dreaming" worldview underpins the writer's Australian aboriginal identity formation and his condemnation of Colonial Assimilation Policy. Only by understanding the writer's internalized "dreaming" worldview and by taking it as a cognitive structure scaffolding the reader's interaction with the writer and with the text, can the reader get the insight into the unconventional meanings in the text. "dreaming" worldview enables the reader to understand the theme and experience author's feelings.
