摘要
世界主义是库切非洲小说的一个重要维度,但是学界对此维度的关注尚且不足。本文以《迈克尔·K的生活和时代》为典型案例,对库切世界主义创作理念的源起、美学表征和历史生成等问题进行考察和反思。文章认为,库切以世界主义创作理念重构了南非民族独立革命的历史话语,其核心内涵是对民族主义的超越。库切的世界主义源于其“去非洲化”的身份认同和政治焦虑。它表达了种族和解的伦理愿景和对普适性价值的诉求,但是在殖民主义的语境中与非洲的去殖政治存在紧张关系。
One of the important dimensions of J.M.Coetzee’s African novels is cosmopolitanism,to which little academic attention has been paid.Taking Life&Times of Michael K as a typical case,this paper aims to investigate the origin,aesthetic representation,and historical generation of Coetzee’s cosmopolitanism.It holds that Coetzee reconstructs the discourse of the national independent revolution in South Africa on the basis of his cosmopolitanism.Mainly to transcend nationalism,his cosmopolitanism stems from his“de-Africanization”of identity and political anxiety.Despite its vision of racial reconciliation and its pursuit of universal values,this cosmopolitanism is contradictory to Africa’s decolonization politics in the postcolonial context.
