摘　　要：美国印第安作家薛曼·阿莱克西的短篇小说集《独行侠骑警与唐托在天堂里的赤拳搏击》和长篇小说《保留地布鲁斯》中有关媒介的书写十分突出。在这两部早期代表作中,阿莱克西还原了当代印第安保留地里糟糕的生存状况,从保留地里无处不在的电视媒介着手,对大众媒介(如电影电视)对于保留地的负面影响提出了尖锐的批评。他不仅揭露了大众媒介背后主流文化潜藏的殖民意图,还颠覆了主流文化通过大众媒介塑造的印第安刻板形象。此外,阿莱克西还赋予了作品中的印第安角色通过口述传统和音乐媒介重塑印第安性的能力和可能性。这一切是从两个维度进行的:一是展示保留地上美国主流文化给定的大众媒介,二是描写印第安人传承与创新自己的媒介形式。There is considerable amount of medium writing about the Indian Reservation in Sherman Alexie’s short story collection The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven and his novel Reservation Blues.In these two early representative works,Alexie unveils the terrible living conditions in the contemporary Indian reservation,highlights the ubiquitous existence of the mass media(such as film and television)and thus sharply criticizes their insidious and negative influences on the reservation.On one hand,Alexie exposes that mass media is becoming an instrument of twentieth century colonialism.On the other hand,he subverts the stereotypes of Indian fabricated by mainstream culture through the mass media.Moreover,he endows Indian characters in his works with the ability and possibility to reconstruct the Indianness through oral storytelling and music.And all of these are unfolded by firstly showing how the mass media in the reservation is actually exploited by the mainstream American culture,and secondly describing Indian’s inheritance and innovation of their own medium forms.
