自20世纪60年代以来,当代爱尔兰流散文学不断拷问、修正和改变着跨民族与全球化语境下的认同观念和价值取向,体现出强烈的除旧布新意识.爱尔兰流散叙事逐渐跳出陈旧的民族主义话语和受害者叙事模式,以一种更加诚恳和个人化的态度面对创痛的移民史及其在当下的延续.从当代爱尔兰跨国流散叙事的新趋向出发,论析当代爱尔兰作家科尔姆·托宾的小说《布鲁克林》中反怀旧创作的思想内涵和现实意义,把握作家对20世纪上半叶爱尔兰社会文化症候的诊断,进而探究后民族时代流散作家以双向思维重新定义爱尔兰性的探索与努力.
Since the 1960s,the modern Irish diasporic literature has demonstrated a strong con-sciousness of breaking with the old by constantly casting doubt and imposing modification on the iden-tity beliefs and value orientations against a multicultural background.New directions emerge from the old nationalist narrative and the victim diaspora model,aiming to confront the traumatic history of im-migration and its continuation with a particularized and sincere attitude.Based on the new directions of Irish transnational diaspora narrative,this article aims to analyze the connotation and practical meaning of anti-nostalgic writing in Colm Tóibín's Broooklyn,and to measure the author's diagnosis of Irish so-ciety and culture in the mid-20th century,in an effort to explore the post-nationalist diaspora writer's ef-forts for the transnational Irish construction under the multidimensional format.
