澳大利亞文學批評和理論

內(nèi)容概要

　　叢書的第7本《澳大利亞文學批評和理論》為我社首次出版，從出版的角度上來說并不屬于原版書，但是，該書不但與《當代北美批評與理論導讀》《當代英國及愛爾蘭批評與理論導讀》《當代歐洲批評和理論導讀》一起構成了西方文學批評和理論研究的整體，而且作者多為國外著名學者，對澳大利亞文學批評和理論頗有研究，因此，我們也收入本叢書，以饗讀者。

章節(jié)摘錄

　　History　　The radical marginalising of Australian literature that occurred when Englishliterature became the vehicle for isseminating English national culturethroughout the Empire was reflected in the marginalisation of Australianhistory as well．History is intimately connected with cartography in theEuropean construction of world space and time．As Dipesh Chakrabartyfamously put it：Histories，whether‘Indian’，‘Chinese’or‘Kenyan’。become variations on a master narrative that could be called‘the History ofEurope’（1992，1）．History as an authoritative discourse is a story of theimpact of the West on the world．But fundamentally history is a narrativelike any other，formed by a process of selection and exclusion．In thisrespect history is‘fictional’because it assumes that human time proceeds，that life iS lived，in a 1inear way like a story．The narrative of imperialhistory translated very easily into national history，which becomes its．reflection in the way it organises national memory．The progress of imperial‘civilisation’into the wilds of Australia is amovement of history into the prehistorical terra nullius of Australian place．There is perhaps no better image of this than the image，in Peter Carey’SOscar and Lucinda（1 988），of a glass church being sailed up the BellingerRiver．The allegory of this journey is the allegory of imperial history itself：the classic journey of civilisation into the wild on its historic mission tO bringlight into the darkness．On the face of it，the novel is an engaging storyabout a naive religious boy who follows what he believes tO be God’S will。leaves his father’S church and makes his way across the terrifying sea toAustralia，where he conceives and xecutes a fantastic plan to build a glasschurch and sail it up the Bellinger river as a vicarious act of love for Lucinda．But Oscar’S journey is an ambivalent subversion of our usual assumptionsabout the progress of civilisation from Europe to Australia．The allegoricaljourney not only disrupts the fixity of history but also dismantles theteleology of history．
