《远岸》中的跨种族命运共同体与反人权批判

The Cross-racial Community of Common Destiny and Criticism on Anti-human Rights Cases in A Distant Shore

在《远岸》中,卡里尔·菲利普斯讲述了非洲黑人男性难民加布里埃尔/所罗门和英格兰白人女性多萝西分别遭受英格兰种族暴力和英格兰白人男性“规训与监视”的故事。加布里埃尔/所罗门和多萝西在斯通利新区意图构建的跨种族命运共同体是二者抵抗种族暴力和男权压迫继续生活的希望所在。有关加布里埃尔/所罗门之死和多萝西“变疯”的描写内含菲利普斯对构建跨种族命运共同体希望的幻灭和对20世纪末英格兰境内特定反人权现象的政治文化批判。

In A Distant Shore,a novel written by Caryl Phillips,Gabriel/Solomon,a black African male refugee,and Dorothy,a white English woman,are the victims of racial violence and“discipline and surveillance”from English white men respectively.Gabriel/Solomon and Dorothy’s construction of cross-racial community of common destiny in Stoneleigh is the way they can resist racial violence and male oppressionin in order to keep their hopes for better lives.The description of the death of Gabriel/Solomon and the“madness”of Dorothy revealed Phillips’s disillusionment of the construction of the cross-racial community of common destiny and his political and cultural criticism on particular anti-human rights cases in England at the end of 20th century.
