中文摘要：

牙买加·琴凯德是一名来自西印度群岛的重要作家。《我母亲的自传》（The Autobiography of My Mother,1996）是琴凯德的第四部长篇小说。该文本充满了对殖民和父权的双重质疑和反叛。在母亲缺席的世界里,父亲所代表的转义让新的寓言解读成为可能;而自传的叙述策略表征了自我书写的颠覆性。本文拟从寓言叙事及自我书写的视角来探究这部用最美丽的散文写就的后殖民地的欲与殇。

英文摘要：

Jamaica Kincaid is an important writer from West India. The Autobiography of My Mother is Kincaid＇s fourth lengthy work of fiction. The text is full of the double senses of ques- tioning and rebellion of colonialism and patriarchy. Since the narrator＇s mother has died, the use of the trope of the father adds a new dimension to the familiar allegories in Kincaid＇s earlier works that feature the mother. Also, the conscious focus on autobiography in this text calls at- tention to the subversiveness of the act raphy of My Mother through the lens of self-writing. This paper tries to analyze The Autobiog- of allegory and self-writing.
