Chen Huafei & Theo D’haen

标题：地缘政治时代的世界文学研究：西奥·德汉教授访谈录

Title: World Literature Studies in an Age of Geopolitics: An Interview with Theo D’haen

内容摘要：

西奥·德汉是比利时鲁汶大学和荷兰莱顿大学英语和比较文学荣休教授，欧洲科学院院士，欧洲科学院院刊《欧洲评论》前任主编。他在美国文学、后现代主义、后殖民主义与世界文学研究等领域著作颇丰。陈华菲在鲁汶大学访学期间（2021—2022），就翻译、“形塑……的世界”概念阐释、去经典化与再经典化，以及中国文学在世界文学中的角色等在德汉最新出版的专著《地缘政治时代下的世界文学》（2021）中所涉及的话题对其进行了专访。德汉认为，随着中国等国家在经济和政治上的作用不断增强，其在世界文学版图中占据的位置越来越重要。面对当前世界的动荡变化，尤其是新冠疫情、气候变化和局部战争等对人类发出的挑战，德汉强调以文学思考我们所在的这个星球共同体。他表明，世界文学或更广义上的文学应该有助于全人类。

Abstract: Theodoor Louis D’haen is Professor of English and Comparative Literature Emeritus at Leuven University, Belgium, and Leiden University, the Netherlands. He is an elected member of Academia Europaea and the former editor-in-chief of the journal European Review. He has published widely in American literature, postmodernism, postcolonialism, and world literature. During her visit to Leuven University (2021-2022), Chen Huafei conducted an interview with D’haen on a wide range of issues, including translation, connotations of “worlding,” decanonization and recanonization, and the role of Chinese literature in world literature, which are addressed in his latest monograph, World Literature in an Age of Geopolitics (2021). D’haen points out that as countries such as China play more important roles economically and politically in the world, their position in the global literary space becomes much more significant. In the face of the changing world, especially the challenges posed by the pandemic, climate change, and regional wars, D’haen emphasizes the function of literature in thinking about the planet as a whole. He suggests that world literature or literature in general should play a beneficial role in the humanity at large.

流散文学与人类命运共同体研究

标题：流散文学溯源及其中人类命运共同体的基本范式

Title:The Origin of Diaspora Literature and the Basic Paradigms of a Community with a Shared Future for Mankind

内容摘要：由于不同国家和地区的人的价值观的差异，全球人类命运共同体的愿景尚无法达成。尽管如此，人类流散文学创作却从本质上揭示了特定类型的人类命运共同体的范式和人类构建全球命运共同体愿景的心理投射。流散文学中人类命运共同体的构建基于人们对流散行动/事件的认知和领会，失而复得的快乐、扩张欲的满足、对幸福和完整生活的追求是内含其中的流散者的集体无意识和“共同体冲动”。始自古希腊、古罗马的流散文学创作中呈现出三种人类命运共同体的基本范式：神命“建国”流散者命运共同体、帝国流散者命运共同体和跨界命运共同体。以流散文学作品为研究对象，从民族国家、帝国和超越“文明之间的断层线”三个维度入手阐释上述三种人类命运共同体的基本范式、构建策略、政治文化与伦理道德内涵，对人类命运共同体研究而言具有重要的学术价值和时代意义。

Abstract: Given the differences in values among the people from different countries and regions, the global vision of a human community with a shared future is still far from being realized. Nevertheless, diasporic literary writings have essentially revealed some specific paradigms of a human community with a shared future and the psychological projection of people’s striving for such a global vision. In diasporic literature, the construction of the human community with a shared future is based on people’s cognition and understanding of diasporic activities and events, whereas the pleasure lost and regained, the satisfaction of the desire for expansion, and the pursuit of a happy and complete life constitute diasporas’ collective unconscious and “impulsion for community.” In diasporic literary writings, whose origin may be traced all the way back to the ancient Greek and Roman literatures, there seems to have three basic paradigms: the diasporic community with a shared future in which diasporas build a state under divine instructions, the community of imperial diasporas with a shared future, and the cross-border community with a shared future. Taking diaspora literature works as research objects, the elucidation of constructing strategies and political, cultural, ethical, and moral implications of these three kinds of human communities with a shared future from three perspectives, namely, national state, empire, and crossing the “fault lines between civilizations” has important academic value and contemporary significance for the research on the community with a shared future for mankind.

标题：《血的本质》中的世界主义与流散共同体构建

Title:Cosmopolitanism and the Construction of Diaspora Community in The Nature of Blood

内容摘要：更合理的族群关系和世界秩序的构建离不开流散者的团结，《血的本质》作为卡利尔·菲利普斯最重要的作品之一，通过展现不同时空中流散群体命运的“共同性”，无疑可以为构建流散共同体提供诸多启示。这部作品对不同类型的流散经历进行了叙写，其启示性意义至少表现在以下三个方面：首先，以世界主义的视野，卡利尔·菲利普斯在《血的本质》中将不同时间、地点和人物身上发生的故事并置，由此呈现了种族主义在更广范围内造成的伤害；其次，这部作品有着更为深刻、辩证和全面的关于“他者”的态度，在描写“他者”的不幸遭遇时，菲利普斯同样对他们自身存在的问题进行了反思；最后，相似的经历使得流散者意识、情感和思想等方面具有“共同性”，这些“共同性”同样将成为构建流散共同体的重要“资源”。

Abstract: Solidarity is essential to constructing a more harmonious relationship among ethnic groups and world order. As one of the most important works by Caryl Phillips, The Nature of Blood offers multiple insights into the construction of diaspora community by showing the “commonality” in their destiny in different times and spaces. With its portrayal of different forms of diaspora experiences, this novel is significant in at least three ways: first, Phillips reveals, from the perspective of cosmopolitanism, the extensive damage caused by racism by juxtaposing stories from different times, places, and characters in the novel; second, to uphold his own deep, dialectical, and comprehensive conception of “the other” in the novel, Phillips’ depiction of the misfortunes experienced by “the others” is always accompanied by reflections of various problems concerning their own existence; third, diasporic groups share a “commonality” in their consciousness, emotion, and mindset due to their similar experiences, a “commonality” that will become important “resources” in the construction of diaspora community.

标题：犹太流散文学中的共同体想象及其表征

Title:Community Imaginaries and Their Representations in Jewish Diaspora Literature

内容摘要：在历经千年的流散生活中，犹太作家对家园社区生活和共同体精神的书写和想象成为犹太流散文学的一大主题。犹太人在前现代时期通过《希伯来圣经》和《塔木德》等典籍实现了从圣殿崇拜到圣书崇拜的转化，建立起生生不息的精神共同体。19世纪至20世纪中期，回归故土的锡安主义运动成为鼓动犹太人的主要意识形态之一，作为民族国家共同体的以色列也成为重要的文学书写对象。20世纪后半叶，英美全球化和多元文化主义运动又激发犹太流散作家思考和想象跨民族的世界共同体。犹太流散文学中的共同体想象，固然重视对民族自我的建构，但犹太人的不断迁徙、与异族的杂居，却使其发展出鲜明的世界主义倾向，而这为理解人类命运共同体提供了有益的借鉴。

Abstract: During the thousands of years of diasporic life, the writing and imagining of home and community spirit by Jewish writers have become a major theme in Jewish diasporic literature. In the pre-modern period, Jews successfully went through the transformation from temple worship to holy book worship through the Hebrew Bible, Talmud, and other classics and established a perpetual spiritual community. From the 19th century to the mid-20th century, the Zionist movement that espoused a return to the Promised Land became one of the main motivational ideologies for Jews. As a nation-state community, therefore, Israel became an important subject or literary writing. In the second half of the 20th century, the globalization and the multicultural movement in UK and US inspired Jewish diaspora writers to think and imagine a transnational cosmopolitan community. The community imaginaries in Jewish diasporic literature maintain a focus on the construction of the national self, but the incessant migration of Jews and their cohabitation with other peoples have fostered a distinct inclination of cosmopolitanism in their literary representation, which provides a useful reference for our understaning of a community with a shared future.

标题：福克纳《寓言》中的文本含混与伦理悖论

Title: Textual Ambiguity and Ethical Paradox in William Faulkner’s A Fable

内容摘要：福克纳的重要后期代表作《寓言》（1954）被认为是其文学创作思想的集大成之作，福克纳本人曾宣称世人要花上五十年才能理解到它的价值所在，但其文本含混性表征却使国内外评论界始终不得其解。从文学伦理学批评的角度来看，这种含混性本身构成了一个伦理悖论，其根源在于作家自身伦理立场的不确定性。一方面，作品整体上的寓言性写作意图，连同穿插于其间的三段寓言叙述，勾勒出其相对稳定的伦理内核，即福克纳根植于南方传统价值的伦理参照系；另一方面，三位一体、两两对位的人物自身前后抵触、相互之间矛盾的伦理选择则折射出南方传统价值在现代性语境转换中遭遇的伦理困境，人物身份认同上看似难以捉摸的转换就在于其自身的伦理选择。由此可见，意义含混的背后是南方社会转型期的现代性多元价值体系，各种基于传统与现代性之间矛盾冲突的伦理选择混杂交织在一起，使得文本总体上呈现出一种模棱两可的含混性。

Abstract:A Fable (1954), an important representative work in the late stage of Willian Faulkner’s writing career, is believed to epitomize all of his key ideas on literary writing. Faulkner himself once claimed that it would take the world fifty years to understand its real significance. Yet its textual ambiguity has baffled critics both at home and abroad all along. Judging from the perspective of ethical literary criticism, the ambiguity itself constitutes an ethical paradox that is rooted in the uncertainty of the writer’s own ethical position. On one hand, the allegorical intent of the novel as a whole, together with the three allegorical narratives interspersed in between, delineates its relatively stable ethical core, that is, Faulkner’s ethical reference system originated from the traditional values of the American South; on the other hand, the self-contradictory and mutually exclusive ethical choices made by the main characters, who are portrayed as a trinity or in a contrapuntal relationship, reflect the ethical dilemma encountered by the traditional Southern values in the changing context of modernity, and the seemingly elusive transformation of their identity lies in their own ethical choices. Therefore, behind the ambiguity of meaning is the pluralistic value system of modernity during the transitional period of the Southern society, and various ethical choices based on the conflict between tradition and modernity are mixed and intertwined, thus generating a kind of paradoxical ambiguity prevalent within the text.

标题：克莱芙王妃的情感危机与伦理选择

Title: Princess of Clèves’ Emotional Crisis and Ethical Choices

内容摘要：拉法耶特夫人的小说《克莱芙王妃》继承了法国贵族风雅文学传统，描绘了宫廷社会风俗，同时是一部进行伦理探究的作品。错综复杂的宫廷生活构成作品的历史背景和伦理现场，在自然情感与道德情感的冲突中，克莱芙王妃以逐渐成熟的理性意志做出了最终的伦理选择，走出了情感危机和伦理困境，获得不受他者和俗世羁绊的精神自由。拉法耶特夫人在思想上受到17 世纪理性主义伦理观的影响，在文学上遵从古典主义规范，以出色的小说创作艺术赋予作品伦理意义和道德价值。

Abstract: Madam de La Fayette’s The Princess of Clèves, is a masterpiece that inherits the elegant tradition of the French aristocratic literature, describes the courtly customs, and explores ethical issues at the same time. The intricate courtly life provides the novel with a historical backdrop and an ethical arena, in which the Princess of Clèves makes her final ethical choice, amid the conflict between her natural emotions and moral emotions, based on her maturing rational will, thus freeing herself from the emotional crisis and ethical dilemma, and obtaining her spiritual freedom from the shackles of others and the mundane world. With the influence from the 17th-century rationalism, Madam de La Fayette followed the norms of classicism in her literary writing and imbued her novels with ethical significance and moral value through her brilliant craft of novel writing.

标题：日常生活的迷魅——阿米蒂奇《磁场：马斯登诗歌》的交叉诗学

Title: The Enchantment of Daily Life: The Intersectional Poetics in Simon Armitage’s Magnetic Field: The Marsden Poems

内容摘要：现任英国桂冠诗人西蒙·阿米蒂奇以日常生活书写获得了大众读者和批评界的一致推崇，《磁场：马斯登诗歌》便是他此类书写的代表作。诗人称其诗作主要使用了厨房水槽现实主义手法，但其中多数诗歌实际上采用了他此前提及的“西约克郡魔幻现实主义”手法。这一手法是阿米蒂奇交叉诗学的体现。他试图通过诗歌形式和内容等层面的不和谐交叉，再现身份认同和地方生活的多元混杂性，呈现物质世界的动态关联性。诗人旨在通过描绘刹那间心灵对物质世界的迷魅体验，启迪现代人重新建立自我与外物的连接感。

Abstract: Simon Armitage, the current Poet Laureate of the UK, has garnered much praise from both the reading public and critics for his writing about daily life as exemplified in the representative collection of his poetry, Magnetic Field: The Marsden Poems. Even though the poet has claimed that his poetry writing relies primarily on the style of “kitchen sink realism,” most of the poems in this collection were actually written with the techniques of what he had previously termed as “West Yorkshire magic realism.” Such an approach is a specific demonstration of Armitage’s intersectional poetics. By exploring the “uncomfortable intersection” used in poetic form, content and others, he attempts to re-present the diverse hybridity of self-identity and local life and exhibit dynamic correlations in the physical world. With an indepth delineation of the enchanted spiritual feeling toward the material world at a passing moment, the poet aims to inspire the people in modern world to reestablish a sense of connection between the things around them and themselves.

标题：露易丝·格丽克的莫比乌斯环式诗学叙事

Title: Louise Glück’s Möbius Loop Poetic Narratives

内容摘要：诺贝尔文学奖获得者露易丝·格丽克在诗歌创作过程中借鉴了莫比乌斯环循环、扭转和没有边界的拓扑学特征，建构出一个曲面的、多维度的、立体化的叙事体系，无形中消解了传统的二元论线性世界观，颠覆了刻板的主流叙事范式，拓展了新的叙事时空和诗学边界。此外，她利用希腊神话和圣经故事的改写将“向死而在”的存在哲学融入到诗歌创作中来，实现了诗学叙事的整体意义增生。诗人探究诗歌创作和个体生存的过程就是个体意识产生纠缠的过程，从拓扑学的角度来阐释格丽克的诗歌为读者们打开了一扇一窥其创作美学和生存哲学的窗牖。

Abstract: In her poetry writing, Louise Glück, the winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature, draws on the topological features of Möbius loop, namely, its circularity, twist, and borderlessness, to construct a curved, multidimensional, and three-dimensional narrative structure, which invariably dissolves the traditional dualistic linear worldview, subverts the stereotypical mainstream narrative paradigm, and expands new narrative space-time dimensions and poetic boundaries. In addition, her rewriting of Greek mythology and biblical stories incorporates the existentialist philosophy of “being toward death” into poetry writing, so as to enrich the overall meaning of poetic narratives. The poet’s probe into poetry writing and individual existence is a process of confronting entanglements in her personal consciousness. Therefore, interpreting Glück’s poetry from a topological perspective could open a window into her creative aesthetics and her concept of existence.

标题：当代亚裔美国诗歌创伤书写之语言表征

Title:The Linguistic Representation of Trauma Writing in Contemporary Asian American Poetry

内容摘要：1970 年至2020 年的亚裔美国诗歌中创伤题材的诗歌有其特殊的语言形式表征，分别表现在叙述时态、书写格式和诗句形式三个方面。这些表征方式不仅与创伤的特点所重合，也与诗人的个人经历、祖居国的历史及与诗人族裔有关的战争与暴恐事件息息相关，更能邀请读者共同参与文本的建构，倾听和见证创伤事件。这使得有关创伤题材的亚裔美国诗歌不仅是疗愈创伤的重要过程，也是打捞黑暗记忆和追忆族裔历史的一种方式，更形成了独特的审美表征。

Abstract: In the Asian American poetry from 1970 to 2020, the trauma-themed poems have their special representation of linguistic forms, which is manifested respectively in three aspects: narrative tense, writing format, and poetic form. These forms of representation not only coincide with the characteristics of trauma, but also bear a close relation to poets’ personal experiences, the history of their home countries, and the wars and terrorist incidents involving their ethnic groups. Also, these forms seem quite effective in inviting readers to participate in the construction of texts, so that they can hear about and witness the traumatic events. Consequently, these elements turn the trauma-themed Asian American poems into an important healing mechanism for traumatic experiences as well as a way of salvaging dark memories and remembering ethnic history, thus establishing a unique kind of Asian American trauma aesthetic.

标题：论美国华裔文学中的“中国叙事”——以汤亭亭和谭恩美的小说为例

Title: “Chinese Narrative” in Chinese American Literature: An Analysis of the Novels by Maxine Hong Kingston and Amy Tan

内容摘要：美国华裔文学中的“中国叙事”是一种独特的文学表现形式。本文所谓的“中国叙事”，指的是以汤亭亭和谭恩美为代表的美国华裔作家在文学创作中通过采用或借用一些中国文学传统中所独有的叙事形式，赋予美国华裔文学及其叙事策略与文化渊源以合法性，从而增强华裔文学的影响力。美国华裔作家的“中国叙事”大多基于中国历史、中国记忆或中国想象之上，这种“中国叙事”区别于以时间性为整体架构的美国（西方）叙事范式，呈现出以空间化为主体架构原则的中国古代文学叙事特有的美学形态。“中国叙事”还包括“说故事”与话本小说叙事等其他一些形式或技巧。通过梳理中西文学叙事传统，探讨美国华裔文学对中国文学叙事模式的借用或移置。

Abstract: The so-called “Chinese narrative” in Chinese American literature is a unique form of literary expression. The term refers to some special narrative modes from the traditional Chinese literature adopted or borrowed by Chinese American writers, represented by Maxine Hong Kingston and Amy Tan, in their literary writings, so as to give legitimacy to Chinese American literature, specifically its narrative strategy and cultural origin, thus enhancing its influence in and beyond the literary circle. The “Chinese narrative,” which is mostly constructed by Chinese American writers on the Chinese history, or their memory and imagination about China, distinguishes itself from the American or Western narrative paradigm that establishes its overall structure on temporality and presents a unique aesthetic pattern in the narrative of the ancient Chinese literature that counts on spatiality as its main structuring principle. Of course, the “Chinese narrative” discussed in this article also includes other narrative forms or techniques like “story-telling” or “talk-story.” By combing through the narrative traditions of Chinese and Western literature, this article attempts to explore the borrowing or translocation of the narrative modes and techniques from Chinese literature in Chinese American literature.

标题：飞机、空中舷窗视角与美国现代主义文学

Title: The Airplane, Its Airscape, and American Modernist Literature

内容摘要：飞机作为20世纪初新型交通的代表，在现代性的时空重构中发挥了重要作用。舷窗下壮丽的大地告诉人们视知世界的另一种可能。两战期间是美国航空事业初创和发展的重要阶段，这与“迷惘的一代”、美国现代主义文学的发生几近同期。飞机旅行及空中舷窗视角带去了全新的时空体验，作家们不仅将飞行速度、将舷窗风景书写在作品中，更将其中提示的瞬时、现时、共时等现代时空理念纳入了对文学形式的思考。飞机速度及其代表的瞬时观启发作家们反思历时叙事模式的弊端；飞行体验中的现时和现存感启示叙事转向对当下和内在的探索；飞机舷窗景观展现出的共时感成为现代主义形式实验的灵感来源之一。新的交通手段滋长了全新的时空理念，促成了文学家从历时思维中跳脱出来，使叙事转向了现代主义。

Abstract: The airplane, as a representative new mode of transport in the early 20th century, has played a key role in the modern reconstruction of time and space. The splendid earth seen from the airplane’s window shows people another possible way to view and perceive the world. The period between the two world wars is an important stage for the startup and development of American aviation. It is almost the same time period in which the Lost Generation and American Modernist literature emerged. With the new temporal and spatial experience from the air travel and the airscape outside the airplane’s window, writers not only weave the airspeed and the airscape into their writings, but also take the newly obtained space-time perceptions, such as instantaneity, synchronicity, and simultaneity, into their consideration of new literary forms. The airspeed and the instantaneity it suggests inspire writers to reflect upon the drawbacks of linear narrative mode; the synchronicity and the sense of being in the flying experience prompt the narrative to explore the moment of being and the inner world; the simultaneity manifested by the airscape becomes one of the inspirational sources for the formal experiments of Modernism. The new vehicle of transport has fostered brand new space-time concepts and, thereby, helped writers shift their narrative from the chronological mode to that of Modernism.

标题：城市化进程与空间正义——左拉《小酒店》中的城市新移民书写

Title: Urbanization and Spatial Justice: The Representation of New Urban Migrants in Zola’s The Assommoir

内容摘要：左拉的代表作《小酒店》通过描写从外省和乡下涌入巴黎的城市新移民，展现了19 世纪法国城市化进程。本文从物质空间、社会空间、精神空间三个不同层面，剖析小说中的城市新移民书写。物质空间、社会空间和精神空间的异化使得他们一直徘徊在城市的边缘，无法获得身份认同，难以真正融入城市社会。小说不仅体现了左拉对城市新移民的深切同情和人道主义关怀，更是对资本主义社会城市化本质的无情揭露，即资本运行逻辑之下，那些占据了绝对优势的资产阶级利用城乡关系对城市新移民的掠夺和剥削。这使得《小酒店》的创作意义远超畅销小说的范畴，有关城市新移民的书写正是左拉基于空间维度对社会正义问题的思考，展现了左拉对城市化进程下空间正义的焦虑和诉求。

Abstract: Zola’s representative work, The Assommoir, shows the process of urbanization in the 19th-century France by depicting the influx of new migrants into Paris from other provinces and the countryside. This article analyzes the representation of new migrants in the city from three different aspects, namely, physical space, social space, and spiritual space. The alienation in physical space, social space, and spiritual space keeps them wandering on the edge of the city, unable to obtain their identity or truly assimilate into the urban society. The novel shows not only Zola’s deep sympathy and humanitarian care for the new migrants in the city, but also a merciless revelation of the nature of urbanization in a capitalist society, that is, under the logic of capital operation, the bourgeoisie holds the absolute advantage in plundering and exploiting the new migrants in the city by abusing the urban-rural relations. This is why the creative significance of The Assommoir goes far beyond the scope of bestselling novels. The representation of the new migrants in the city truly manifests Zola’s reflections on the issues concerning social justice based on spatial dimensions and delineates his anxiety and yearning for spatial justice in the process of urbanization.

标题：普里什文神话书写中的绿色基因

Title:The Green Gene in M. M. Prishvin’s Myth Writing

内容摘要：俄罗斯作家普里什文的神话书写体现着“永恒女性”的神圣之美和“万物统一”的宗教哲学理念。他观察自然万象，研究人们的生活和心灵。在民间文化的底层，东正教与多神教交相杂糅：一面是旧礼仪派和教派信徒古老的信仰、习俗和修道精神，一面是巫师、林妖和水怪的神奇玄幻的传说。作家探索俄罗斯灵魂最内在的方面和民间信仰的根基：关系着20世纪初俄罗斯知识分子精神探索的圣城基杰什的神话天然地带有多神教的绿色基因；尚未受到现代文明冲击的人们遵循古老的生存法则与自然相依相生，神话寄寓着存在之谜和自然律法，与圣经和希腊神话存在同构关系，是俄罗斯民族心灵的原乡。

Abstract: Russian writer M. M. Prishvin’s myth writing represents the divine beauty of “eternal woman” and the religious philosophy of the “unity of all things.” He observes natural phenomena and probes into people’s lives and minds. At the foundation of folk culture, Orthodoxy and polytheism are intermingled: there are the ancient beliefs, customs, and monastic spirit of the Old Ritualists and sect believers on the one hand and, on the other, there are mythical fantasies about wizards, forest demons and water monsters. The writer explores the innermost aspects of the Russian soul and the roots of its folk beliefs: the myth about the holy city of Kitezh, which is part of the Russian intellectuals’ spiritual exploration in the early 20th century, naturally possesses the green genes of polytheism; the people who had not yet been impacted by modern civilization live in harmony with nature by adhering to the ancient laws of survival. The myths are intended to metaphorize the mystery of existence and the law of nature. Despite their isomorphic relationship with the Bible and Greek mythology, they are the homeland of the Russian soul.

标题：库切《幽暗之地》对殖民神话的颠覆

Title:The Subversion of Colonial Myths in J. M. Coetzee’s Dusklands

内容摘要：《幽暗之地》是库切的处女作，塑造了不同时代背景下的两个癫狂殖民者形象。在库切笔下，荷兰殖民者对南非的拓殖与美帝国对越南的入侵具有同质性和历史延续性。小说旨在批驳殖民主义文明论、解构殖民者霸权式男性气质、挑战殖民者的神话逻辑，从而颠覆西方文化几个世纪以来所构建和兜售的殖民神话，戳穿殖民权力话语的虚假叙事，引领世人重新审视和反思殖民主义历史。库切以创作介入历史，用独特的文本结构和个性化的叙事手法对抗和改写殖民历史话语，彰显小说在参与历史叙事中的重要性。在帝国主义余孽未除的当下重读《幽暗之地》具有非常重要的现实意义。

Abstract: Dusklands, Coetzee’s debut novel, portrays two fanatic images of colonists in two different time periods, namely, the Dutch colonists’ exploration of South Africa and the American invasion of Vietnam, both of which are fully compatible in homogeneity and historical continuity. The novel aims to refute the hypothesis of colonial civilization, deconstruct the hegemonic masculinity of colonists, and challenge their mythological logic, so as to overturn the colonial myths constructed and peddled in the Western culture in the past few centuries, expose the false narrative of the colonial power discourse, and guide people to re-examine and reconsider the history of colonialism. Coetzee intervenes history with his novel writing, defying and revising the historical discourse of colonization with his unique textual structure and personalized narrative technique, thus highlighting the importance of novels in presenting historical narratives. A re-reading of Dusklands, at the present time when the imperialist evil still lingers on, definitely has significant and realistic ramifications.
