冈.碧桂玏是塞内加尔当代特立独行且颇受争议的女小说家。她的自传体小说叙述了主人公到欧洲求学时的种种经历与心理体验,她和西方文化格格不入并对之进行了强烈的批判。她深情缅怀非洲文化传统,并最终回归到塞内加尔,无原则地拥抱非洲文化和传统,认为在这里才找到了她的心灵安顿之所和文化之根。不过,作者也对日益“去圣化”的非洲传统表现出很大的困惑,认为这是西方殖民文化入侵的结果。她还审视了非洲传统文化自身存在的问题。总之,她对西方文化和非洲文化的认识都显得矛盾而混乱,也正是这种矛盾和混乱才使她的小说更耐人寻味。 Gang Bi is a contemporary and controversial novelist in Senegal. Her autobiographical novels narrate the experiences and psychological experiences of the protagonists when they study in Europe. She and the western culture are alien to and strongly criticized. She deeply cherished the memory of African cultural traditions and eventually returned to Senegal. She embraced African culture and tradition in principle and believed that she found her place for spiritual peace and roots of culture here. However, the author also expressed great confusion over the increasingly “sanctified” African tradition as a result of the invasion of Western colonial culture. She also examines the existence of traditional African cultures. In short, her understanding of Western culture and African culture are both contradictory and chaotic, and it is precisely this contradiction and chaos that makes her novels more intriguing.
