摘要
阿卜杜勒拉扎克·古尔纳的小说《朝圣者之路》通过描写主人公达乌德在不同种族与文化的夹缝中艰难生存的经历,展现了后殖民时代种族身份的表演属性。小说以朝圣的消亡与重构为线索,刻画了不同族群所营建的无形壁垒,展示了边缘人挑战种族规范的操演策略,最终通过人物积极的伦理选择建构了理想的种族交往模式。古尔纳揭示了现代社会文明先进表象下的种族偏见,批判了黑人民族主义潜藏的种族暴力,并试图利用对种族身份的操演与解构消解帝国叙事的权威性,从而实现对人类平等共存的伦理价值的追求以及对流动性世界的全新想象。
Abdulrazak Gurnah’s novel Pilgrims Way demonstrates the performative attributes of racial identity in the post-colonial era by depicting the protagonist Daud’s experience of struggling to survive in the gap between different races and cultures.Taking the demise and reconstruction of“pilgrimage”as a clue,the novel portrays the invisible barriers constructed by different ethnic groups,outlines the racial performance strategies of marginalized people to challenge racial norms,and finally constructs an ideal mode of racial interaction through the positive ethical choices of the characters.Gurnah reveals the racial prejudice that lies beneath the progressive veneer of civilization in modern society,criticizes the latent racial violence of black nationalism,and tries to use the racial performance and deconstruction of racial identity in an attempt to dismantle the authority of the narrative of empire,so as to realize the quest for the ethical value of equal co-existence of human beings as well as a new imagining of the world of mobility.
