运用文化相对主义理论对美国著名作家薇拉.凯瑟(W illa Cather,1873—1947)的三部作品进行分析,探寻其创作的文化渊源和文化相对主义取向:传统的欧洲文化、印第安文化和美国早期的清教思想。正是由于对这些文化中精华部分的吸收和传承,凯瑟的作品才具有了高尚纯洁的思想境界和独特的艺术风格。而凯瑟作品中体现的这些优秀的文化传统及其价值观对现代社会和现代人的思想价值观念的塑造也有很大的启示。
Using the theory of cultural relativism, this essay analyzes the three works of Willa Cather (1873-1947), a famous American writer, to find out the cultural origins and cultural relativism of his creation: traditional European culture, Indian culture and Early American Puritanism. It is because of the absorption and inheritance of the essence of these cultures that Cather’s work has a noble and pure ideological realm and a unique artistic style. However, these excellent cultural traditions and their values reflected in Katherine’s work also give a great inspiration to the shaping of the ideological values of modern society and modern people.
