摘　　要：美国当代作家保罗·索鲁的太平洋旅行叙事《大洋洲的极乐岛》是审视美国拓殖太平洋“新边疆”历史的重要文本。为响应20世纪后半叶美国的“新边疆”拓殖计划,索鲁深度“侵入”太平洋岛国,试图以旅行书写的方式拓殖环太平洋“新边疆”;作为一名名副其实的边疆“拓荒者”,索鲁运用文学绘图的方式将太平洋表征为“空白”“沉默”的异质性空间,并通过认知绘图和占有“无主地”等方式,不仅消解了太平洋异域性所带来的文化不适和表征困难,同时也完整地构建起美国在太平洋世界的殖民空间和权力图景。the contemporary American writer Paul Theroux’s Pacific travel narrative The Happy Isles of Oceania is an important text which examines the American colonization of the“Pacific frontier”.In response to the colonization of the“New Frontier”Initiative of the United States in the second half of the 20th century,Theroux penetrated the Pacific island countries,attempting to colonize the frontier of the“New Pacific Rim”through travel writing.As a veritable“pioneer”of the“newer frontier”,Theroux employs literary cartographic means to represent the Pacific Ocean as a“blank”and“silent”heterogeneous space.Through cognitive mapping and symbolic occupying of“free land”and other means,he has not only dissolved the cultural discomfort and representational challenges resulted from the Pacific exoticism,but also constructed a colonial spatial and power landscape for the United States in the Pacific world.
