摘要
美国本土裔作家杰拉德·维兹诺作品在反映印第安文化与民族身份特点的同时具有阈限性特征:即作品寓意呈现模糊、混杂又界限不明但有迹可循的介于多种维度之间的临界状态。临界性、异质性,混杂性和矛盾性是文学中阈限性的哲学维度,体现文学与文化实践中的思想敏锐度,探讨身份话语建构问题。这种文学阈限性能够在无限的文化差异上实现某种有限接合,从而弥合二元对立之间的各种不可调和张力;这也是阈限性用以阐释与解构维兹诺作品的动力之一,以此探索美国本土裔作家在沉重民族历史背景下走出生存困境、冲破世界主义与民族主义藩篱的表意突破。本文以小说《自由之魔法师:一个荒野贵族的部落后裔》为例,在深入文本解读基础上阐释维兹诺作品的阈限性特点以例证文学阈限性的主要理论特征。
Native American writer Gerald Vizenor＇s works possessed an essence of literary liminality which is ambivalent, hybrid and borderless but traceable and dimensional. Criticality, heterogeneity, hybridity and ambivalence are the main dimensions of literary liminality which reflects the thinking acuity in literary and cultural practices and probes into the problem of identity construction. The theoretical reference of this liminality enables kind of limited mending in unlimited cultural differences and bridges various unbalances and contradictions between the two opposites. Thus, it would compensate diverse incompatible tensions. The literary liminality is one of the dynamics to analyze Gerald Vizenor＇s works and it may become a kind of meaningful breakthrough in the hedge between cosmopolitanism and nationalism. This essay interprets Vizenor＇s The Trickster of Liberty： Tribal Heirs to a Wild Baronage （1988） and deconstructs literary liminality in particular text.
