【摘要】：美国女作家芭芭拉·金索尔佛(1955-)的获奖小说《毒木圣经》讲述了一个一位美国白人浸礼会牧师内森·普莱斯(Nathan Price)带着妻子与四位女儿来到战火纷飞的非洲比属刚果,怀揣着满心的壮志试图用宗教信仰拯救生活在这片蛮荒之地的“无知”灵魂的故事。但是作为一名上帝意志的粗暴执行者,内森无视妻女感情,无视异国风俗,最终不仅未能拯救土著居民的灵魂,也未能让其家人从危机四伏的政治动荡中全身而退。战争与死亡给这个家庭带来了无尽的创伤,其间最小的女儿在刚果惨死,其余家庭成员骨肉离散,内森也精神失常,死于他试图救赎的“愚民”手中。普莱斯一家的悲剧证实了内森所代表的父权以及霸权正是本书的批判中心。本文试图从美国后殖民批评家盖娅特里·查克拉巴蒂·斯皮瓦克(1942-)的“认知暴力”理论分析《毒木圣经》中男主人翁内森·普莱斯身上体现的帝国主义之下的双重强权----父权与霸权分别给女性与殖民地----两大少数话语的代表----带来的伤害,从而体现全书的反殖民意识,女性意识以及对强权的谴责与批判。小说中普莱斯家庭受压迫的女性们和殖民者铁蹄下的非洲刚果同病相怜,从最初的被压榨,到途中觉醒,再到最后的反抗,两者都惊人的命途相似。本文首先以斯皮瓦克的理论为基点,分析文本中女性所受父权的压迫,殖民地所受殖民者的压迫,试图挖掘贯穿始终的“认知暴力”,并发现两大文化霸权的相似之处。其次,文章探究了“认知暴力”在女性主义以及后殖民语境下的实施方式以及背后的深层原因,有力的揭示了小说中“认知暴力”具有的排斥性和压制性,由此试图推翻其在西方文化思维模式中的合法性。
[Abstract]:American female writer Barbara Kintholfohn's award-winning novel, the Drug-Wood Bible, tells of a white American Baptist priest, Nathan Price, who brought his wife and four daughters to the war-torn African Congo. The story of the "ignorant" soul who lives in this wilderness with religious faith, but as a crude executor of God's will, Nathan ignores the feelings of his wife and daughter, his foreign customs, Not only did they fail to save the souls of the indigenous people, but they also failed to recover their families from the perilous political turmoil. The war and death inflicted untold trauma on the family, during which its youngest daughter died in Congo. The rest of the family is separated and Nathan is insane, dying at the hands of the "fool" he is trying to redeem. The family's tragedy confirms that Nathan's patriarchy and hegemony are at the centre of the book's critique. This paper attempts to analyze the theory of "cognitive violence" by American post-colonial critic Gaia Terry Chakrabard Spiewalker 1942-1942. The main character of the Bible, Nathan Price, is under imperialism. The harm caused by double might-- patriarchal power and hegemony-to women and colonies, the representatives of the two major minority utterances, In the novel, the oppressed women of the Price family and the African Congo under the iron hoofs of the colonists share the same conditions, from being squeezed at the beginning to awakening on the way. At the end of the revolt, the two had a startling fate. Based on Spivak's theory, this paper first analyzes the oppression of women under patriarchal power and colonial colonists, tries to dig through the "cognitive violence" throughout, and finds the similarities between the two cultural hegemony. This paper probes into the implementation of "cognitive violence" in the feminist and post-colonial context as well as the deep reasons behind it, and reveals the repulsion and repression of "cognitive violence" in the novel. In this way, it tries to overthrow its legitimacy in the western cultural thinking mode.
