以创伤理论为依托,研究《靠鲸生活的人》,分析个体创伤、族群创伤与鲸鱼创伤之间的紧密联系。霍根认为印第安民族只有植根于传统文化的精髓,通过对部落创伤史的追溯和重新恢复与鲸鱼、大海及大自然的亲缘关系,才能够治愈精神创伤,认同族群文化身份;阐明族群积极构建和谐的生态环境有助于创伤的治愈,彰显了生态主题。 Relying on the theory of trauma, we study “people who live on whales” and analyze the close relationship between individual trauma, ethnic trauma and whale trauma. Hogan believes that the Indian nation can only cure the trauma and identify the cultural identity of the ethnic group only by rooting in the essence of traditional culture and by tracing the tribal traumatic history and restoring the relationship with the whale, the sea and nature. A harmonious ecological environment helps to cure the wounds and highlights the ecological theme.
