卡里尔·菲利普斯是当代流散作家中最知名的、最具代表性的和最有天赋的领军人物之一。“错位”是他个人的生存常态,也是其作品中最常见的主题。“错位”即经历多地域的流散变迁之旅。因为不同地域之间存在着巨大的文化差异,所以“错位”归根到底是一种文化差异的体验,这往往会导致“错位者”与周围环境无法融合而萌生的无归属感。在“错位”基础上,菲利普斯作品的特征也变得非常复杂,总结来说,呈现出复调、移情和互文三种特征。
Caryl Phillips is considered as one of the most famous and leading Diaspora writers in the world, with “dislocation” standing as the common theme both in his works and his life. “Dislocation” means experiences among different districts and diverse cultures, which sometimes lead the feelings of unbelongs of the desolators. Despite of the complication reflected in Phillips's literary world, his works present three characteristics, namely polyphony, empathy and intertextuality, each of which is developed on the basis of “dislocation”.
