在《迷失的孩子》中,卡里尔·菲利普斯重新定位并解构了艾米丽·勃朗特经典小说《呼啸山庄》中诸多身份问题,并阐明了18世纪大英帝国殖民政治对20世纪英国社会的滞后性影响。简言之,菲利普斯描述了前殖民者所犯罪行和所承受的家园焦虑与前被殖民者的“复仇”行动之间的因果关系,而这一因果关系可被形象地比喻为“帝国回飞镖”。菲利普斯认为,当下英国社会的人种景观迫切需要英国社会道德景观的巨大变化与之匹配;唯有如此,由大英帝国殖民史而引发的英国人的道德恐慌与家园焦虑才能得到消减乃至消除。
In “The Lost Child,” Karire Phillips repositions and deconstructs many of the identities in Emily Bronte’s classic novel Wuthering Heights, and expounds on the 18th century British Empire’s colonial politics of the 20th century Britain The lagging influence of society. In short, Phillips described the causal relationship between the crimes committed by the former colonizers and the anxiety of the homeland they sustained and the actions of the former colonized “revenge”, a causal link that could vividly be described as “Empire back darts.” Phillips argues that the current ethnocultural landscape in British society desperately needs a dramatic change in the moral landscape of society in the United Kingdom. Only in this way can the moral panic and anxiety of the homeland caused by the colonial history of the British Empire be diminished or even eliminated.
