摘　　要：在《哥伦布后裔》中,美国印第安裔作家维兹诺以戏谑笔法改写了哥伦布美洲之旅的白人历史叙事,不仅颠覆了宣称白人是美洲发现者的殖民话语,消解了白人与印第安之间文明与野蛮、主宰与被主宰的二元对立关系,而且为当代印第安人尤其是混血印第安人开拓出生存的第三空间。通过哥伦布的混血后裔们建立混血恶作剧者国家,在印第安传统和白人文化既冲突又联手的矛盾共存之中构建起新型生存模式的故事,维兹诺表达了当代印第安人与白人主流文化平等共存的诉求,同时也实现了自己的文化身份重构。In The Heirs of Columbus, Vizenor, an American Indian writer, presents a parodic revision of white people＇s historical-narrative concerning Columbus＇s journey to the American Continent, thereby subverting the colonial discourse that avows the white to be the discoverer of the American Continent and dissolving the civilized/barbarian and dominator/dominated dichotomy. Moreover, his revision of the Columbus myth opens the possibility of existing in the Third Space for contemporary American Indians, especially those mixed-blood ones. By way of depicting how the mixed-blood heirs of Columbus found a nation of mixed-blood tricksters and establish a new pattern of survivance upon the complicity of conflict and alliance between the American Indian tradition and the white culture, Vizenor voices his people＇s desire of coexisting equally with mainstream white culture and in the meantime, accomplishes the re-establishment of the cultural identity of his own.
