摘　　要：大英帝国主义成为一些小说的最基本的意识形态架构,本文试图就把握这类小说精要的几个关键问题进行探讨。本文在简要梳理帝国历史的当下延续之后,在第二节中提出了"帝国虚构"这一术语并探讨了其意义。第三节则梳理了虚构与现实、文化与帝国主义之间的关系,着重分析了虚构作品在帝国主义意识形态小说的建构和解构中所扮演的创造性或表演性角色。第四节从叙事学的角度对殖民话语分析与后殖民批评进行了修正,这正是本文力图传达的方法。第五节讨论了文学性虚构和观念性虚构在建构和解构帝国主义思想方面所起到的六大功能,随后得出全文结论。This article explores some of the issues that are of crucial importance for any attempt to come to grips with the logic of the fictions which provided the ideological backbone of British imperialism. After briefly delineating the continuity of the imperial past in the present, Section 2 provides a preliminary exploration of the meanings of the term ＂fictions of empire.＂ Section 3 then provides an attempt to conceptualize the relationship between fiction and reality, and between culture and imperialism, emphasizing the creative or performative role that works of fiction can play in the construction and deconstruction of the ideological fictions of imperialism. Section 4 presents a narratologically informed revision of colonial discourse analysis and postcolonial criticism, which is the approach that informs this article. Section 5 discusses six of the main functions that both literary and conceptual fictions can fulfil with regard to the making, and unmaking, of imperialist mentalities, while the last section provides a brief conclusion.
