【摘要】：詹姆斯希尔顿是一位著名的英国作家。他曾经创作了许多著名的小说。其中最有影响力的一部是《消失的地平线》。当《消失的地平线》出版后,这部小说给希尔顿带来了巨大的成功。在这部小说里,希尔顿描述了香格里拉这片净土。而香格里拉也立刻被所有人所知道,并不断的去寻找这片土地。目前为止,国内外对这部小说的研究越来越多。很多学者讨论了香格里拉是一个中方和西方的完美结合,而对于小说里的后殖民主义却很少分析。本论文以后殖民主义为理论基础,从政治,经济,文化三方面探讨了《消失的地平线》里体现的后殖民主义。也揭露出希尔顿的后殖民主义思想。本论文由前言、第一章、第二章、第三章和结论组成。在论文的前言中,论文作者主要介绍了作者詹姆斯希尔顿的生平,小说《消失的地平线》的主要剧情,前人对《消失的地平线》的研究现状以及论文的研究方法—后殖民主义理论的简要介绍。论文主体有三大章组成。第一章中,本论文作者从三个方面分析了香格里拉的政治权利受到西方后殖民者的干涉。第一方面是西方人掌握了香格里拉的政治领导权。他们将政治、宗教中心喇嘛寺作为其政治统治机构。第二方面是西方人剥夺了香格里拉人民的民主选举权。香格里拉人没有最基本的政治权利,而受控于西方人。第三方面是香格里拉存在着明显的不平等政治地位。西方人被遵从为高高在上的领导者,统治着香格里拉。香格里拉人民则被置于最层,任凭西方人摆布。第二章中,本论文从三个方面研究了香格里拉的经济受到西方人的干涉。第一方面是西方人抢夺香格里拉的自然资源,黄金以及人力资源。用这些宝贵的资源,西方人巩固本国的资本主义。第二方面是西方人在香格里拉扩张市场,以此来缓解西方的经济危机。第三方面是西方人阻碍香格里拉人民学习一些提高生产的科学技术,限制香格里拉的经济发展。第三章中,本论文从三个方面研究了香格里拉的文化受到西方人的干涉。第一方面是西方人看不起香格里拉的宗教,他们把基督教带到香格里拉,迫使香格里拉人信奉基督教。第二方面是西方人把具有中国象征的传统文化看成“他者”文化。香格里拉人开始追求西方文化,而忘记自己的文化。第三方面,西方人想改变香格里拉人的思想，，从此香格里拉人接受了自己是西方人的奴隶。论文的结论部分,本论文作者指出希尔顿的后殖民主义者的思想。虽然希尔顿描写了一个远离西方世界的地方,香格里拉仍然充满了西方的元素。希尔顿始终摆脱不了作为一个西方人的优势思想,始终忘不了只有西方人是“中心”,而东方人都处于“他者”的边缘地位。小说中的香格里拉已经变成的西方国家的附属之地。
[Abstract]:James Hilton is a famous English writer. He has written many famous novels. One of the most influential is the lost Horizon. When the lost Horizon was published, the novel was a great success for Hilton. In this novel, Hilton describes the pure land of Shangri-La. Shangri-la was immediately known to all and was constantly searching for the land. Up to now, there are more and more researches on this novel at home and abroad. Many scholars have discussed Shangri-La as a perfect combination of China and the West, with little analysis of post-colonialism in the novel. Based on the theory of colonialism, this paper discusses the post-colonialism in Horizon from three aspects: politics, economy and culture. It also exposed Hilton's postcolonial ideas. This thesis consists of preface, chapter one, chapter two, chapter three and conclusion. In the preface of the paper, the author mainly introduces the life of author James Hilton, the main plot of the novel the lost Horizon. A brief introduction to the present situation of the study of the vanishing Horizon and the research method of the thesis, the theory of post-colonialism. The main body of the thesis consists of three chapters. In the first chapter, the author analyzes Shangri-La 's political rights from three aspects. The first is that Westerners hold the political leadership of Shangri-La. They use the political, religious center of the Lama Temple as their political governing body. The second is that Westerners have deprived the people of Shangri-la of their democratic right to vote. Shangri-La people do not have the most basic political rights, but controlled by Westerners. The third aspect is that Shangri-La has obvious unequal political status. Westerners are obeyed as high-ranking leaders who rule Shangri-la. The people of Shangri-La were placed at the highest level, at the mercy of Westerners. In the second chapter, this thesis studies Shangri-la 's economy from three aspects. The first is that Westerners snatch Shangri-La 's natural resources, gold and human resources. With these precious resources, westerners consolidate their own capitalism. The second is the expansion of Western markets in Shangri-La to ease the West's economic crisis. The third aspect is that westerners hinder the people of Shangri-La from learning some science and technology to improve their production and restrict the economic development of Shangri-La. In the third chapter, this thesis studies Shangri-la 's culture from three aspects. The first is that Westerners despise the religion of Shangri-La. They bring Christianity to Shangri-La, forcing the Shangri-La people to practice Christianity. The second aspect is that Westerners regard the traditional culture with Chinese symbol as the "other" culture. Shangri-La people began to pursue Western culture, and forget their own culture. Third, Westerners wanted to change the ideas of Shangri-La people, and then the Shangri-La people accepted themselves as slaves to Westerners. In the conclusion part, the author points out Hilton's thought of post-colonialism. Although Hilton describes a place far from the West, Shangri-La is still full of Western elements. Hilton can never get rid of the superiority thought as a Westerner, never forget that only westerners are "center", while Oriental people are at the edge of "other". Shangri-La in the novel has become a subsidiary of the West.
