吉尔·克尔·康威(Jill Ker Conway)是澳裔美国作家,以其自传最为出名。一般情况下,某个特定自传只体现特定国家的风俗文化。而康威的自传《库伦来时路》(The Road from Coorain)、《真实北方:回忆录》(True North)体现了澳大利亚、加拿大以及美国的多元文化。借助自传以及关于羞愧主题的部分理论阐释康威自传是如何折射澳大利亚羞愧文化以及其人文主义思想和女性主义意识的形成过程。 Jill Ker Conway is an Australian-American writer who is best known for his autobiography. Under normal circumstances, a particular autobiography only reflects the custom culture of a particular country. And Conway’s autobiography The Road from Coorain and True North reflect the diverse cultures of Australia, Canada and the United States. Using autobiography and parts of the theory of shame, I explain how Converse’s autobiography reflects the formation of shameful culture in Australia and its humanist and feminist consciousness.
