论«午夜之子»的帝国主义批判

摘要

小说«午夜之子»出自印裔英国作家萨尔曼•拉什迪之手，以民族寓言的形式再现了印度次大陆独立前后的历史。斯皮瓦克的文化身份理论有助于解读作品的帝国主义批判，«午夜之子»通过后殖民未终结的帝国主义怀旧情愫，对帝国主义历史版本进行反叙述，实现了对性别权利的颠覆，从而批判西方殖民主义意识形态。%Salman Rushdie ’ s Midnight ’ s Children presents Indian history before and after independence through the form of national apologue. By utilizing Spivak ’ s theory of cultural identity, this essay reveals post-colonial imperialist sentiment, presents Rushdie’ s counter-narration of imperialist historical version and shows the subversion of gender rights, so as to disclose the novels’ imperialist criticism and strongly criticize the colonial ideology.
