【副题名】从全球化和本土化视角解读《微物之神》

【摘要】 阿兰达蒂·洛伊的首部亦是她唯一一部小说《微物之神》,为其赢得了1997年度的曼布克奖,并获得了世界各地评论家的关注和读者们的一致好评。在本书中洛伊以其家乡喀拉拉邦为背景,分别通过以恰克和宝宝克加玛为代表的亲英派、玛玛奇、帕帕奇以及英国殖民者卡利塞普的故事为例,告诫印度人民须从中吸取经验教训,才能更好地探索繁荣印度之路。本论文从全球化和本土化的视角对作品进行解读,认为洛伊在作品中阐述了全球化对喀拉拉邦产生了极大的危害:不仅造成了喀拉拉邦人思想上的错误,而且还危害了当地传统文化;而较之于全球化,本土化不但处于极为落后的阶段,还在经济、宗教归属以及文化方面遭到了失败。故此,洛伊认为印度的繁荣之路要从喀拉拉邦反面的失败例子中,学会『正确认识全球化,清楚了解本土化的实际情况,趋利避害,从而建立繁荣富强的国家。本论文『正文分为三章:第二章对全球化和本土化的理论进行介绍和总结;第三章以以恰克为代表的亲英派为例,通过指出不顾工厂和喀拉拉邦经济实际情况,奉行抄袭主义,最终必然会导致失败。另外,洛伊还通过宝宝克加玛为代表的喀拉拉邦人深受美国文化的侵蚀为例,指出外来文化在全球化进程中对本土的传统文化造成了极大冲击,甚至会造成其逐渐消亡。第四章则分别以玛玛奇固守印度小农经济生产方式和英国人卡利赛普身份本土化的失败以及帕帕奇的宗教归属感的丢失这三个故事为例,探讨正确的本土化之路。

【Abstract】 As Arundhati Roy’s first and only novel, The God of Small Things brought her the Booker Prize in 1997, which received critics’ great attention around the world as well as readers’high praise. Roy takes her hometown Kerala as the background to tell the stories of the Anglophiles (represented by Chacko and Baby Baby Kochamma), Mammachi, Pappachi and British colonizer Kari Saibu. She wants to take them as the examples to warn Indians that they should draw lessons from Kerala in order to search for a prosperous country.The thesis analyzes The God of Small Things from the perspective of globalization and localization. It considers that Roy states the great dangers caused by globalization in Kerala. Globalization not only leads to the misunderstandings in thoughts but also jeopardizes local traditional culture in Kerala. Compared to globalization, Kerala’s localization is in more stagnant stage. The circumstances in Kerala are made much worse by the Mammachi’s failure of insistence on economic localization and Kari Saibu’s flunk of cultural localization as well as Pappachi’s loss of religious belongingness. Therefore, Roy contemplates that Indian prosperity should learn from Kerala’s failures. India needs to understand globalization correctly and realize the reality of localization clearly so as to foster strengths and circumvent weaknesses. Only in this way does a prosperous India succeed.The main parts of the thesis consist of three chapters. Chapter two is used as the introduction and summaries of the theory of globalization and localization. Chapter three takes Chacko who is a typical Anglophile as the example so as to pinpoint that the ignorance of the real condition of the factory as well as Kerala’s economy leads to the failure of Plagiarism. In addition, Baby Kochamma who is overwhelmed by the American culture is another example for Roy to find out that foreign culture takes the advantage of globalization to form a severe shock to the traditional culture and may eventually cause its extinction. Chapter four took examples of Mammachi who persisted in Indian small-peasant economy, the failure of British Kari Kari Saibu who tried to self-identity in localization and Pappachi’s loss of religious belongingness on the purpose of finding out what correct localization is.
