摘要:加拿大作家丹尼斯·布克的《共产党人的女儿》是西方作家书写白求恩形象的代表作。这部作品以书信体的方式展现叙事者白求恩的自我言说,还原了一个多元、丰富的白求恩形象,体现着作品的个人性;同时,作品建构了“中国”与“世界”的紧密联系,并呈现出白求恩作为一个外来者对中国以及革命“集体”的情感认同。小说塑造的白求恩形象具有跨文化意义,体现了作者在全球化时代对文化对话的追求。

Title: Heroic Reshaping in the Perspective of the Other: On the Image of Bethune in The Communist's Daughter of Dennis Bock

Abstract: The Communist's Daughter written by Canadian writer Dennis Bock is the representative work in writing Bethune of the Western writers. This novel shows Bethune's self-talk in Epistolary style, restores a pluralistic and rich image of Bethune and reflects the individuality of the work. At the same time, the work constructs the close connection between “China” and “the world”, presents Bethune's emotional identification with China and the revolutionary collective as an outsider. The image of Bethune portrayed in the novel reflects the cross-cultural significance and the author's pursuit of cultural dialogue in the era of globalization.

Key words: Dennis Bock; The Communist's Daughter; the image of Bethune; Chinese Identity
