摘要

本文从丽贝卡-斯特拉顿(Rebecca Stratton)的畅销爱情小说《丝笼》(The Silken Cage)中的种族和身份主题出发,对差异话语进行了解读。它揭示了摩洛哥作为一个主体和一种文化,是如何在英国东方浪漫主义作品中被种族化,以支撑跨文化交汇中中心/边缘二元性的话语。丝绸牢笼》值得研究,因为它关注摩洛哥 "他者 "如何在流行的爱情小说中变成商品。在对建议的爱情小说进行后殖民主义分析后,发现摩洛哥 "他者 "身份的种族概念在很大程度上取决于种族等级制度。乍一看,这部小说似乎是在探讨种族身份的构建,从而瓦解 "自我 "与 "他者 "之间的二元对立体系。然而,作者对东方主体矛盾性的强调,阐明了对种族同一性和否认差异的持续需求。不用说,种族混血是求爱成功的先决条件,这揭示了斯特拉顿抵制跨文化差异。因此可以说,斯特拉顿的恋情是一种种族间的恋情,在这种恋情中,种族差异不受待见,从而使西方对东方的霸权和统治合法化。

On the Racialization of the Moroccan ‘Other’ in Orientalist Romance
This paper offers an understanding of the discourse of difference in relation to the themes of race and identity in Rebecca Stratton’s bestselling romance The Silken Cage. It unravels how Morocco, as a subject and a culture, is racialized in British orientalist romance to underpin the discourse of the centre/periphery duality in cross-cultural encounters. The Silken Cage is worthy of study due to its interest in how the Moroccan ‘Other’ is turned into a commodity in popular romance. After a postcolonial analysis of the suggested romance, it was found that racial conceptions of the Moroccan Other’s identity are at large contingent on racial hierarchies. The novel seems, at first glance, to negotiate the construction of racial identities and thereby dismantle the system of binarism between the ‘Self’ and the ‘Other.’ However, the author’s emphasis on the ambivalence of the oriental subjects articulates a continued need for racial sameness and the denial of difference. Needless to say, given that racial hybridity is a prerequisite for the courtship to be successful reveals that Stratton resists cross-cultural difference. It can be thus argued that Stratton’s romance is an interracial ground where racial differences are not welcomed to legitimize Western hegemony and domination over the Orient.
