空间与种族:《奥鲁诺克》中的殖民书写策略

Space and Race: The Colonial Discourse in Oroonoko

阿芙拉·班恩是英国第一位职业女性作家,其散文小说《奥鲁诺克》是较早反映英国殖民活动的文学作品。通过对异域空间殖民活动的描写,班恩向我们展现了17世纪英国在非洲和苏里南的空间殖民,对不同种族的形象进行了细致的描绘,体现了殖民者在新地理空间中的现代奴隶制经济学实践,同时隐约流露出班恩希望改良殖民统治的"乌托邦"幻想。

Aphra Behn is the first British female professional writers whose prose fiction Oroonoko is the earliest literary works depicting colonial actions of England, This article focused on the implicit co-lonial logic and approaches for weakening the sin of colonial actions such as the Romance plot,dialec-tics and the bizarre scenes, The space colonial in Africa and Surinam was delineated in Behn’s Oroo-noko and she described the different racial images for the early modern readers,which embodied the modern slavery economics of the new geographical space in practice and vaguely revealed Behn′s hope to improve colonial rule as utopia fantasy.
