【摘要】：短篇小说《莉丝帕斯》是英国作家吉卜林的名作之一。吉卜林出生于印度,其作品大多取材于他的出生地印度,展现殖民时期印度的方方面面。因此,吉卜林常常被认为是为帝国主义服务的职业写手,其对印度的殖民书写往往是学者专家的研究焦点。对此,本文持不同意见。本文主要采用文本细读的研究模式,细读吉卜林的《莉丝帕斯》,援引后殖民文化身份有关研究理论,以文化身份问题为研究切入点,探讨小说中女主人公莉丝帕斯的文化身份并对其进行后殖民解读。小说中的莉丝帕斯是一个被英国人收养的印度人,其文化身份一直游移在殖民英国文化和本土印度文化之间,无所归依。如何在两种冲突的文化中寻求一种文化身份的栖息和平衡,是这部短篇小说所要展现的内涵。女主人公莉丝帕斯文化身份的构建和书写反映了作家吉卜林在文化身份问题上的深刻思考和研究,他矛盾并犹豫,在两种相互冲突的文化中,他并不是全身心地支持殖民大英帝国,相反他内心深深地热爱着印度,这恰恰体现在小说中莉丝帕斯最终身份的定位和书写。小说中莉丝帕斯最终放弃了英国文化身份,回归印度本土文化身份。吉卜林短篇小说《莉丝帕斯》体现了吉卜林热爱印度的另一而。通过文本细读吉卜林作品,我们发现吉卜林并不是一个完全的帝国主义作家。本文希望此研究能够对当前的吉卜林研究提供一个新的研究视角,给吉卜林一个公允的定位。
[Abstract]:The short story Lispas is one of the famous works of British writer Kipling. Kipling was born in India. Most of his works are based on India, where he was born, showing all aspects of colonial India. Therefore, Kipling is often regarded as a professional writer in the service of imperialism, and his colonial writing of India is often the focus of research by scholars and experts. To this, this article holds a different view. This paper mainly adopts the research mode of text reading, reading Kipling's Lispas, quoting the theory of postcolonial cultural identity, and taking the cultural identity as the starting point. This paper probes into the cultural identity of the heroine Lispas in the novel and interprets it post- colonial. In the novel, Lispas is an Indian adopted by the British, whose cultural identity has been moving between the colonial British culture and the native Indian culture. How to seek the perch and balance of one kind of cultural identity in two conflicting cultures is the connotation of this short story. The construction and writing of the heroine Lispas' cultural identity reflects the writer Kipling's deep thinking and research on the issue of cultural identity. He contradicts and hesitates in the two conflicting cultures. Instead of wholeheartedly supporting the colonial British Empire, he deeply loves India, which is reflected in the orientation and writing of the final identity of Lispas in the novel. In the novel, Lispas finally gave up the British cultural identity and returned to the native Indian cultural identity. Kipling's short story Lispas embodies Kipling's love of India. Through a close reading of Kipling's works, we find that Kipling is not a completely imperialist writer. This paper hopes that this study can provide a new perspective for the current Kipling study and give Kipling a fair position.
