摘　　要：受非洲文化影响,钦努阿·阿契贝对声音的高度敏感贯穿于其叙事文本内。特别在《瓦解》中,阿契贝凭借独特的听觉叙事将白人殖民者侵占伊博族村落的殖民行径演绎为外来之于本土声音景观的颠覆,以此雄辩地宣告了伊博族传统文明,并痛斥了西方殖民者有赖噪音为媒介的“声音帝国主义”。鉴于声音元素在该虚构作品中的独特功用,本文旨在剥离小说情节演进中隐含的音轨,从听觉范畴出发廓清“瓦解”的丰富内涵,解读殖民历史语境下的声音霸权及其意识形态影响。Influenced by African culture,Chinua Achebe remains highly sensitive to sound through his narrative texts.Noticeably in Things Fall Apart,with his unique acoustic narration,Achebe performs the colonizing process by an exotic subversion of the local soundscape,so as not only to eloquently justify the traditional Igbo civilization,but to denounce colonialists'"sound imperialism"relying on noise as the medium.As the unique function of sound elements in this fiction,this paper intends to detach the underlying soundtrack and to clarify the abundant connotation of"falling apart",endeavoring to enunciate the sound hegemony and its ideological influence through a colonialist context.
