A Study Of Post-colonial Cultural Identity In The Son Of Midnight

In the current era of globalization,where exchanges between countries were frequent,the question of how to deal with the differences between foreign and native cultures and the conflicts caused by those differences had become a matter of concern.The thesis will be based on postcolonial theory,From the expression of the author's "alien" identity in his works,the bizarre cultural metaphor,the female image,and the narrative features,he explores the thinking of the post-colonial cultural identity contained in Salman Rushdie's novels.This is not only of great practical significance for the study of the "Children of the Midnight",but also promotes a better understanding of the relationship between local culture and foreign cultures,and helps promote the development of a harmonious society with multicultural symbiosis and a harmonious world.After the paper,the colonial cultural identity is the entry point,and the full text is divided into four chapters: The first chapter mainly summarizes the writing about Rushdie's personal identity confusion projected on the characters.Including a review of Rushdie's "stranger" experience,and under the care of his identity,he analyzed the characters represented by Salimu and Aziz in the novel,to explore the way in which their identity confusion is manifested.The second chapter studies the female characters under the impact of cultural collision between the East and the West,by showing their inner contradictions and behaviors when influenced by many cultures,the author explains the mixed identity expression of female images in the novel.Finally,the focus was on the misery of Third World women caused by identity confusion resulting from the collision of East and West cultures,and on Rushdie's limited writing of female characters as a male author.Chapter Three classifies the many metaphors that Rushdie used to discuss Indian identity in the post-colonial period.It analyzes how Rushdie challenged the official historical version through a series of metaphors from three aspects: image,color image,and taste image.n the last chapter,the author analyzes the influence of his post-colonial cultural identity onhis writing based on how the narrative features are reflected in the novel's post-colonial cultural identity: While advocating the traditional "framework structure" of India,it is also deeply influenced by Western post-modern deconstruction ideas.
