新德里的叢林意象：《白老虎》中的都會生活空間

本文援引列斐伏爾(Henri Lefebvre)的空間中產概念，旨在探討印度裔作家亞拉文•亞迪嘉小說《白老虎》中的種姓與階級衝突，以及認同與空間政治。本文首先討論都會生活中空間性的建構，接著詮釋小說中的叢林意象，藉此說明印度社會的矛盾與衝突。本文探討主體如何於想像建構的社會體制中，透過挪用與實踐進而打破限制，重新建構身分認同與再現生活空間。

In The While Tiger (2008), Aravind Adiga describes a new urban life experienced by people in India, especially the Hindus, in the process of modernization. Adiga's depiction of New Delhi features the transformation of social structure and the change of lifestyles in the society. His novel contextualizes urban life in a socio-spatial relation. Spatial organization as well as social relations forms a distinctive spatiality that shapes a unique urban life in the society. Under Adiga's portrayal, New Delhi is presented to be clamorous and disorder; therefore, life in the city is full of confusion and is always in shining. Thus, this paper aims to investigate the formation of spatiality in relation to the construction of urban life depicted by Adiga in the novel.
