摘　　要：《茫茫藻海》中的主要人物克里斯托芬、安托瓦内特和罗切斯特在不同程度上都处于"错置"或边缘的生存状态,他们孜孜以求的身份认同外显于他们的饮食偏好和食物选择。从克里斯托芬褒扬本土食物、贬损英国食物,到安托瓦内特徘徊于殖民地食物与宗主国食物之间,再到罗切斯特起初尝试接受殖民地食物,而后通过食与色的污秽之举来征服附属地的他者,所有这些人物的身份求索和恩怨情仇都与作为身体本能和文化载体的吃喝行为紧密交织在一起。琼·里斯借助食物书写揭示了餐桌及厨房中蕴藏的政治符码和人类情感。All the protagonists in Wide Sargasso Sea, namely Christophine, Antoinette and Rochester, are to some extent in a “displaced” or marginal state, and their struggle for identity is externalized in their taste preference and food choice. Ranging from Christophine＇s praise of native food while disparaging English food, through Antoinette＇s wavering between colonial and imperial foodways, to Rochester＇s initial attempts to accept indigenous food and then his subjection of the subordinate Other by his sordid manipulation of food and sex, all these characters＇ identities and relationships are interwoven with eating and drinking, both as physical instinct and as cultural embodiment.Thus, Jean Rhys＇ food narrative unravels the political implication and human emotion at the dinner table and in the kitchen.
