內(nèi)容概要

伊迪斯·華頓是19世紀末20世紀初的美國女作家，著有關(guān)于意大利、法國和摩洛哥的游記共六部。這些游記作品不僅反映出她如何看待、再現(xiàn)異域景物，更揭示了她如何在文化他者的襯托下定義自我的過程，其文本充分展現(xiàn)了華頓在強烈的逾越?jīng)_動與難以抗拒的傳統(tǒng)力量之間經(jīng)受的張力，蘊含著相當?shù)奈幕瘡?fù)雜性。     本書在結(jié)構(gòu)上分為三部分。第一章從“影響的焦慮”談起，論述華頓在難以出新的游記領(lǐng)域另辟空間時既反抗又妥協(xié)的做法；第二章以自我和他者的關(guān)系為切入點分析了華頓在描述異域景物方面顯露出的既靠攏又排斥，既侵入又謙服，既高傲又恐懼的復(fù)雜心態(tài)；第三章圍繞性別來檢視華頓的女性觀及其建構(gòu)游記文本的方法，并從人稱指代方面考察其女性敘述策略。

章節(jié)摘錄

This paragraph-long quotation reveals Wharton's aesthetic approach. Instead of directing travelers' eyes to the central figures of paintings, she provides an alternative way to capture the unseen world in the distance, because, as she claims, the peripheral is the part that tells the real story. The way in which artists arrange the background sceneries betray their "conceptions of life and faith," reveal the particular idea that they have towards the world around them. In addition, the order of positioning cultural objects and the decision to include or exclude certain materials in the paintings suggest "a sophisticated ideological device that enacts systematic erasures" （Rose 87 ）. Therefore, the painting has actually become a representation of "visual ideology" （Rose 91 ）, an important critique of the artists' world.The idea of the central and the peripheral works not only with paintings, but also with the artists themselves. In her title chapter " Italian Background," Wharton picks up Tiepolo and his lesser known colleagues as an example. While Tiepolo is foregrounded by the popular travel books as a famous decorative artist, what is unnoticed is that he is also "a devotional painter. " Applying her aesthetic connoisseurship to the judgment of paintings, Wharton makes the assertion that in the light of Venetian painting "Tiepolo is seen to be the direct descendant of Titian and Veronese" （IB 207）. Extending her ideas further, Wharton moves on to other artists whose works are equally important to the study of eighteenth-century Venice.
