后殖民主义是继西方后现代主义之后出现的持续时间较长、涉及学科较广的一种全球性理论思潮。它以后结构主义的解构和“非中心化”思维模式为基础,经萨义德、斯皮瓦克和霍米·巴巴的发展,形成了一套独特的话语系统。本文试在以国内出版的若干专著的基础上,通过对后殖民理论的部分特点的解读,进一步厘清对后殖民主义理论的基本认识。 Post-colonialism is a global trend of thought that has been taking place for a long time and involving a wide range of disciplines after the Western post-modernism. After its deconstruction of structuralism and its “non-centralization” thinking model, it developed a unique discourse system through the development of Said, Spivak and Homi Baba. Based on a number of monographs published in China, this paper attempts to further clarify the basic understanding of postcolonial theory through the interpretation of some characteristics of postcolonial theory.
