【摘要】：《亚穆苏克罗的鳄鱼》是奈保尔旅行考察作品中最受评论界忽视的一部。作为象牙海岸开国总统,乌弗埃的治国之术是非洲传统政治文化和西方现代模式的简单拼贴,客观上是神权制部落酋长统治的当代版,即作为非洲宗教献祭仪式的喂食鳄鱼仪式是乌弗埃王权公众仪式的物化表征,神权统治和图腾崇拜作为非洲千年文明延续的经典形式。这一威权盛仪在20世纪下半叶的历史宿命隐喻地表明,极权统治下的非洲是没有未来的,从而使得作品本质上成为奈保尔对非洲文明与西方文明之间能否有效融合表示深度怀疑的作品。奈保尔以世界主义者视角切入"两种文明"谜题,揭示非洲本土文明与西方现代文明之间局促、紧张的关系,借访者之口道出了非洲的未来在于找到能够坚守非洲自己灵魂的发展模式。
[Abstract]:Alligator of Yamoussoukro is one of the most neglected works of Naipaul's tour. As the founding president of Ivory Coast, Uftier's statecraft is a simple collage of African traditional political culture and modern Western models, and objectively a contemporary version of the sheikh rule of theocratic tribes. That is to say, the feeding crocodile ceremony as a religious sacrifice in Africa is the materialized representation of the public ceremony of Wang Quan in Uphroy, and theocracy and totem worship are the classical forms of the continuation of African millennium civilization. The apocalypse of this authoritarianism in the second half of the 20th century metaphorically demonstrated that Africa under totalitarianism has no future. Therefore, the work is essentially a work in which Naipaul doubts whether the African civilization and the western civilization can be effectively integrated. Naipaul cut into the riddle of "two civilizations" from the perspective of cosmopolitanism, revealing the strained and strained relationship between the native civilization of Africa and the modern civilization of the West. The interviewees speak out that Africa's future lies in finding a model of development that can hold to Africa's own soul.
