摘要
诺贝尔文学奖得主德里克.沃尔科特的中篇叙事诗《"飞翔号"纵帆船》是诗人的自我画像和生活写照,其中的主人公——黑白混血水手诗人沙比恩——寓言了加勒比人在过去殖民主义和奴隶制下的悲惨遭遇,反映了他们在今天寻找自己的历史、身份和语言时所遇到的困境。通过混杂、挪用和摹仿等策略,沃尔科特借助西方经典文本的话语和言语模式,对历史、文化和民族身份进行了想象性的建构,创造出后殖民表述艺术方式,旨在治疗民族的创伤和颠覆帝国的权威。
The long narrative poem ＂The Schooner Flight＂ is Nobel Laureate Derek Walcott＇s self-portrait and life-summary, of which Shabine, the narrator-protagonist, or the black and white sailor-poet, allegorizes Mrican Caribbean suffering from European colonialism and slavery and conveys the mental agony of the colored Caribbean and the obstacles that they are facing while searching for their own language, history and cultural identity. By way of the strategies of hybrid, appropriation and mimicry, Walcott borrows largely from the discourse and verbal modes of the traditional Western literal icons to reconstruct history and cultural identity through his post-colonial expressive art in the hope of subverting colonial power and healing national trauma.
