摘要
古尔纳的小说《海边》深刻探讨了后殖民语境下的流散身份问题。小说以主人公萨利赫的流亡经历为主线，展现其身份在个人创伤、桑给巴尔的国族历史与英国庇护国环境的三重挤压下逐步走向解体的过程。身份的重建通过与他者展开对话式的“叙事”实践来完成。叙事不仅承载着创伤疗愈的功能，更构成了一个能够“生产”新自我的弹性空间。最终，在英国海滨小镇这一近乎中立的“第三空间”内，旧有的历史对立与身份壁垒得以消解，一种能够容纳矛盾、不被单一根源束缚的杂糅身份也由此生成。

Abstract
Abdulrazak Gurnah’s By the Sea traces protagonist Saleh’s identity disintegration under pressures of personal trauma, Zanzibar’s national history, and his host country Britain. Reconstruction is achieved through dialogical narrative with the Other. Narrative not only serves a therapeutic function for trauma but also constitutes a space capable of “producing” a new self. A hybrid identity emerges in the English seaside town as a “third space”.
Key words： Abdulrazak Gurnah; By the Sea; Identity construction; Narrative; Third space; Hybridity
