摘要
在《自由的恶作剧者》中,杰拉德.维兹诺开篇传达了对美国白人政府颁发的道斯法案强行的侵占印第安人的土地来挤压生存空间以及后续的同化政策极度不满。作者通过巴赫金的狂欢理论,借助印第安传统中独特的"恶作剧者"形象和他们的反叛精神,戏讽和打破常规品质,反抗了主流社会(白人群体)对边缘社会(印第安民族)的压迫。恶作剧者们分别从狂欢化的反教条主义,反二元对立,和反排他性三方面提升了民族的社会地位,同时完成了印第安民族文化传统的保留和重塑,保证了未来的发展。
In The Tricksters of Liberty, from the beginning, Gerald Vizenor delivers his extreme dissatisfaction for the Dawes Act the American government enacted which forcibly invades and occupies Indian land to compress their living space and for the consequential assimilation policy. Through Bakhtin' s Carnival theory, by means of particular "trickster figure" in Indian tradition and their rebellion spirit, the traits of buffoonery and breaking away from conventions,Vizenor subverts the oppression from dominant society(Whites community) to marginal society( Indian community). Tricksters elevate the social status respectively from carnival anti-dogmatism,anti-dualism and anti-exclusiveness, and at the same time, they accomplish the survivance and reconstruction and guarantee the future development.
