摘要
本文从后殖民批评的角度出发 ,对 V· S·奈保尔的主要代表作《毕司沃斯先生的房子》作了解读。小说通过主人公一生对房子的寻求揭示了后殖民社会人群普遍所处的“移位”的生存状态。这种寻求不仅仅是迫于生存压力对安身立命之所的追求 ,更是一种形而上的对人格独立和尊严的追求。同时 ,这种寻求也在相当大的程度上反映了作为后殖民作家的奈保尔本人的文化身份认同危机和由此带来的焦虑感。
The thesis attempts to give an interpretation of A House for Mr. Biswas by V.S.Naibaul, from the perspective of post colonialism. The paper argues that the motif of the protagonist seeking a house all his life, in fact, represents a condition of displacement for post colonial peoples. So the act of seeking is not only one for protecting and security under the pressure of life, but also a metaphysical search for personal independence and dignity. Thus Mr Biswas can be seen as an Everyman of the post colonial society and V.S. Naibaul, a postcolonial writer, their representative. As a whole, the novel is illustrative of the real life conditions of the third world peoples under the impact of globalization.
