On Dimension Sue Naipaul Amphibiousness

V.S.Naipaul, who won the Nobel Literature Prize in 2001, is a typical immigrant writer, and he has a complicated connection with Trinidad in Western Indians, India in Asia and England in Europe. His native land is India, and was bora in Trinidad, living and writing in England and growing up with the influence of the three cultures. This complex background leads to the uncertainty of his cultural identity and the crisis of cultural identification, thus very a few people call him a 'rootless writer' or a 'rootless man'. But it is impossible that a man has no cultural root in a civilized society, anyone is an existence in a certain cultural soil. As a prolific writer, Naipaul is not rootless , therefore , to analyze the constructing state of Naipaul's cultural identity objectively , it is a necessary premise in understanding his works.To analyse Naipaul's multi-aggregation of his identity and writings, the methodology of this discourse is mostly based on demonstrations, and the post-colonial culture theory is its main academic support.The main viewpoints in this discourse are as the follows:Naipaul's constructing of cultural identity and works present a particular feature:double-dwelling. The marginal culture in Trinidad colony, the suzerain culture in England and the native culture in India form the foundational truss of his cultural identity. Confronting with the inevitable contest of the three, Naipaul suffers drastic conflicts a lot and makes his choice with sense and sensation. He cannot identify with any of the three , nor can he deviate all of them completely. And he takes a cleaving strategy to three cultures, he is internal as well as external with Trinidad and Indian cultures, and also with England culture. He is in possession of double-internality and double-externality . His cultural and writing roots are embedded in the soil which mixed with the three cultures. As a result, he has become a special one and shaped into commingled cultural identity.It is just in the ambivalent process of mingling that Naipaul derives the required nutrient and has cultivated his abilities of double-dwelling, which lead to his literatural success. Finally, he has grown up as a tall tree and produced plentiful and substantial fruits.
