美国作家索尔·贝娄从未到过中国,却在作品中多次想象和言说中国。贝娄制作的中国形象是知识和权力共谋的结果,作家以自我意识作为想象中国的基点,以冷战策略作为想象中国的历史语境,在想象中自觉迎合美国的国家策略,致使其笔下的中国形象笼罩在意识形态阴影之下。 American writer Saul Bellow has never been to China, but has repeatedly imagined and spoken of China in his works. The image of China produced by Bellow is the result of the conspiracy of knowledge and power. With the self-awareness as the starting point for imagining China and the Cold War strategy as the historical context of imagining China, the writer consciously caters to the national strategy of the United States in his imagination, China’s image is shrouded in the shadow of ideology.
