摘要/Abstract

内容摘要： 澳大利亚作家理查德•弗拉纳根的《河道导游之死》讲述了一个塔斯马尼亚古老家族的百年传奇故事,展现了少数族群追寻独特文化身份的艰苦历程。弗拉纳根借河流叙事的手法进入历史豁口,通过书写少数族群集体身份认同的演变,揭示个体想象与集体记忆之间的对立统一关系。小说透过家族记忆、河流叙事与杂糅身份之间的辩证张力,彰显出弗拉纳根对澳大利亚文化记忆传承以及民族身份建构的深刻理解与艺术创造。

Abstract: In his first novel Death of a River Guide, Richard Flanagan tells a tale of the century-old family saga of Tasmania with a focus on the root-searching journey of a local river guide. Employing the narrative technique of “river writing”, Flanagan aims to reveal the painstaking pursuit of Tasmania’s minority group for its unique cultural identity evident in the dynamic and conflicting relationship between individual memory and collective memory. Through the dialectical tension between family memory, river narrative and hybrid identity demonstrated in the novel, Flanagan attempts to reconstruct the national identity through the re-writing of history, i.e. calling up the untold cultural memory of an oppressed past and giving voice to the forgotten.

Key words: Richard Flanagan, Death of a River Guide, family memory, river narrative, hybrid identity
