加勒比科幻文学中的杂糅性与群岛意识

Hybridity and Archipelagic Consciousness in Caribbean Science Fiction

长期以来,西方国家一直是科幻文学的主要阵地,而西方科幻与殖民话语的建构和延续息息相关。虽然近年来世界落后边缘地区产生了越来越多的科幻文学,但却鲜少受到学界关注。其中最具特色的加勒比科幻文学将神话寓言、民间故事、口述传统、宗教信仰、克里奥尔语等加勒比文化元素创造性地融入西方科幻叙事中,呈现出多维度的杂糅性。此外,加勒比科幻文学所建构的具有群岛特性,相互关联、相互依赖的网状关系模式颠覆了西方二元对立的静态模式,展现了以多样性、流动性、动态性为前提的群岛意识。杂糅性和群岛意识几乎贯穿了加勒比地区所有的科幻作品,呈现出一种植根于殖民经历与历史的抵抗精神,构成去殖民运动的重要文本实践。

The science fiction genre has long been dominated by Western perspectives and has played a complicit role in constructing and perpetuating colonial discourses.However,in recent years,there has been a notable emergence of science fiction works created by writers from marginalized countries and regions,although they have largely gone unrecognized by many critics.Among these works,Caribbean science fiction stands out for its unique integration of such Caribbean cultural elements as myths,fables,folktales,oral traditions,religious beliefs,and creole languages into the traditionally Western genre of science fiction,resulting in a multi-dimensional hybridity.Additionally,Caribbean science fiction employs a networked relationship model characterized by archipelago characteristics,emphasizing interrelation and interdependence.This mode of representation challenges the static binary opposition prevalent in Western narratives,revealing an archipelagic consciousness rooted in principles of diversity,mobility,and dynamics.The recurring themes of hybridity and archipelagic consciousness are pervasive in the works of Caribbean science fiction,demonstrating a spirit of resistance that is deeply entrenched in colonial experiences and histories.Consequently,these works serve as important textual practices of decolonization.
