内容提要

哈尼夫·库雷西的作品经常描写社会中处于边缘的人群以及他们
默默无闻的挣扎和奋斗,探讨被主流文化视而不见的事件和话题,如
边缘文化,性政治以及移民的生活等。他的首部作品《郊区佛爷》(The
Buddha of Suburbia,1990)一出版就赢得了读者的极大好评并获得了
当年惠特布雷德小说最佳处女作奖。这部小说被诸多评论者认为是该
作家的半自传性作品,讲述了一个印英混血年轻人如何百般努力以求
远离伦敦郊区并寻求成功的故事。在这个过程中,他经历了许多社会
的,政治的或是性的冲突和矛盾。
本文以福柯关于权力和身体的论述为理论基础,试图分析小说中
娱乐界和家庭这两个机构中权力和身体的关系。全文共分为六个部分,
分别是导论,正文四章以及结语。第一章简介福柯关于权力和身体的
论述。第二章主要分析在英属印度和后殖民伦敦这两个不同时期和地
点里权力和身体的运作。第三章和第四章集中分析娱乐界和家庭这两
个机构中权力和身体的关系。第三章集中分析克里姆在娱乐业中与沙
德维尔,派克以及伊琳诺之间的关系。通过分析克里姆与这三个人之间
权力的角逐,本章试图指出个体仍可反抗权力对身体的规训。同时指
出通过音乐的力量,个体仍可反抗既定的权力关系对身体的压迫。第
四章主要集中分析两组人物,分别是哈龙和玛格利特,安瓦和杰米拉。
通过分析家庭中权力在身体上的运作,本章试图考察个人追寻愉悦和
自我身体意义的可能性。通过分析这两个机构中权力与身体的关系,
iii
论文试图得出该结论,即个人虽然无法脱离权力体系,但仍可发出自
己的声音,重新获得被剥夺的权力。

Synopsis

Hanif Kureishi’s writings often deal with the unseen struggles of those
living on the fringes of society and he has earned a good reputation because
of his readiness in tackling the unmentionable issues, such as marginalized
culture, sexual politics and the life of immigrants. Kureishi’s first novel,
The Buddha of Suburbia, was put to press in 1990. It was warmly received
by readers and won the Whitbread Book Award for the best first novel. In
fact, this novel is regarded by most critics as his semi-autobiography. It is
about Karim, a hybrid boy, who struggles to escape the suburban South
London and strives for ess. In this experience, he goes through a range
of social, political and sexual conflicts and dilemmas.
Based on Foucault’s theory on power and the body, the thesis attempts
to analyze power and the body in these two institutions in the novel:
entertainment industry and family respectively. It posed of six parts,
including an introduction, four chapters and a conclusion. Chapter One is a
brief introduction to Foucault’s theory on power and the body. Chapter Two
