保罗·奥斯特《日落公园》中次贷危机下的共通体书写 鲜于静 郭棲庆 内容提要:在小说《日落公园》中,保罗·奥斯特以现实主义的笔调再现了美国在9·11事件后次贷危机下所面临的经济和社会问题。城市边缘人物们在纽约布鲁克林区日落公园建构的共通体具有开放性和包容性,呈现出共通和共在的图景,体现了法国思想家南希“无用共通体”思想中的独体和他异、外展和暴露、分享和沟通等理念。通过书写纽约大都市共通体的建构及其未完成性,作家沉痛反思了次贷危机中城市断裂的群体以及个体生存危机,展现了他们对国家机器、传统封闭理念和压迫性权威的反叛与背离。危机中的人物渴望与他者共在,但却无法实现与他者的共融,共通体的脆弱性及其最终解散反映了当代资本主义社会群体缺乏凝聚力的困境。 关键词:保罗·奥斯特 《日落公园》 次贷危机 共通体 作者简介:鲜于静,北京联合大学旅游学院副教授,主要从事美国文学研究;郭棲庆,北京外国语大学英语学院教授,主要从事美国文学研究。本文系2021年度国家社科基金重大项目“美国族裔文学中的文化共同体思想研究”(21&ZD282)的阶段性成果。 Title: Community and the Subprime Crisis in Paul Auster’s Sunset Park ABSTRACT: In his novel Sunset Park, Paul Auster uses a realistic tone to represent the social and economic problems that occurred during the post-9/11 subprime crisis. The community in the novel, represented by several urban fringe figures in Sunset Park in Brooklyn, New York City, is open and inclusive, presenting a picture of being in common and being with, and reflecting Jean-Luc Nancy’s idea of the “inoperative community” in relation to singularity and alterity, exposition and exposure, and sharing and communication. By writing about the construction and the incompletion of community in New York, Auster reflects on the fractured urban group and individual survival troubles in the subprime crisis, demonstrating the characters’ rebellion and deviation from the state apparatus, from closed traditional concepts, and from oppressive authority. The characters yearn to be with others, but they are unable to achieve fusion with others. The vulnerability and ultimate dissolution of the community reflect the dilemma of group cohesion in contemporary capitalist society.

In the Broken Earth trilogy, a series of geological speculative fiction, African American author N. K. Jemisin challenges colonial epistemology through speculative writing that constructs a decolonial power matrix. Rooted in African American literary and cultural traditions, the trilogy reconstructs the ontology of the colonized through the imagination of life mutations, and it uses interscalar thinking to reveal the hidden connection between the Earth and racial problems. This writing strategy develops geological speculations of decoloniality about the Earth and enslaved peoples from ontological and epistemological perspectives. It not only breaks the traditional constraints of coloniality but also provides a new lens for reimagining the relationship between humans and the Earth, as well as between the colonizers and the colonized, highlighting the unique potential of speculative fiction to promote environmental justice by creating alternative geological worlds.

It is also a major reference for reflecting on how their national nature and historical changes fit with contemporary American capitalist culture. Many contemporary American Jewish classics have presented an economic evolution from “seeking survival” through “seeking development”and then finally to “seeking innovation,” as well as tracing the origins and mutual learning of civilizations. The intersections between American material culture, expansionist culture, and Jewish traditional culture witness how the Jews went from urban wasteland to wealth progression. That is to say, they alleviate the constraints of economic dilemma and identity politics in the struggle between resistance and submission, insist on the national cultural inheritance mechanism while accepting the cultural identity of others, and innovate to maximize profitability through dialectical and scientific development concepts.

In Money: A Suicide Note, Martin Amis places the body at the center of the narrative, depicting it through the lenses of objectification, violence, and disease. These extreme representations of the body are intricately interwoven, exposing the dissolution of human subjectivity and the ensuing anxiety within the cultural framework of postmodern consumer society. In this context, Amis seeks to encourage readers to reflect on their position within consumer culture, re-evaluate the relationship between the body and identity, and explore the possibilities for reconstructing subjectivity, ultimately pursuing a path toward self-identity and spiritual peace.

The novel not only reveals the complex dilemmas faced by human-machine emotional interconnectivity in the posthuman era, but also deeply analyzes the possibility of individual emotional degeneration in dissolving the boundaries of human-machine symbiosis and altering the overall emotional structure. Against the grand backdrop of the “digital revolution,” the utopian vision of posthumanism as expressed in the novel provides an inspiring imaginative path for exploring the mechanisms of human-machine emotional connectivity in the posthuman era and establishing an emotionally interconnected human-machine community.

Beneath its themes of anti-colonialism and the quest for independence, the text, through its creolized narrative, delves into the traumatic history of the Antilles, dismantling Western-centric discourse and forging a mode of “counter-history” focused on self-discovery. As a “meta-text” for subsequent novels, La Lézarde critiques inherited notions of “Négritude” from Aimé Césaire, initiating reflections on the cultural identity coming out of the Antilles and giving rise to a series of theoretical tools advocating “diversity” and “equality,” such as “Antillanité,” “creolization,” “Relation,” and “Tout-monde.” Keywords: édouard Glissant, La Lézarde, the Antilles, cultural identity Authors: Tao Sha <alexandre1222@163.com> is a Ph.D. candidate at the School of Foreign Studies, Nanjing University, Nanjing, China (210000), specializing in French literature and translation studies.

The Lost Child is a prime example of the so-called “black neo-Victorian novel.” By invoking the image of mixed-race Caribbeans in both historical and contemporary narratives, Phillips probes into Britain’s slaveholding past and poses challenges to the traditional notion of “Englishness” based on monolithic geographical and racial identities, thus reflecting on the predicaments of contemporary Caribbean immigrants striving for mainstream acceptance. The novel depicts London as a creolized modern urban space featured by a transnational creolizing practice, which foregrounds Phillips’s vision for a more inclusive and diverse British society.

Victor Chang, a third-world postcolonial realist writer from Jamaica, exhibits a mode of national imagination different from what Said and Bhabha have theorized. His short stories revolve around a peculiar yet typical “lived” space in the Caribbean, namely the Chinese shop, and explore the imagination of a new Creole nation after Jamaica’s independence, an imagination grounded in decentralization and decolonization. It aims at a community of shared destiny that is characterized by solidarity, mutual trust, and dependence, with limited hybridization between the formerly oppressed and exploited ethnic groups, entailing no homogenization. With explicit historical consciousness, Chang’s realist stories expose the impact of white colonial legacies on the national imagination in ex-colonies and warn that indiscriminate anti-totalization may not be fitting for studying literary-political issues in the third-world ex-colonies.

Walcott not only pays attention to the “amnesia” in the Caribbean, but also reveals, through decoloniality, that the colonizers’ plundering of resources and massacres, the hegemony of the colonizers’ interpretation of memory, and the colonial people’s blind worship of modernity are causes of the Caribbean people’s amnesia. In order to revive faded memories, Walcott uses the literary form of homecoming through dreams to represent the Back-to-Africa Movement, and proposes three paths to revisit the past, i.e., dialogue with survivors, immersive arts, and religions. Ultimately, he regards memory as a bond and explores the possibility of different ethnic groups sharing similar memories in order to realize the open and inclusive cosmopolitan ideal from the perspectives of ethics and morality as well as culture and the arts.

M. Coetzee’s The Lives of Animals blends a variety of signifying forms, including fictional story, lecture, debate, and academic commentary, which makes the text a narrative practice that cannot be easily categorized into an established genre. Such formal innovation cannot be fully explained by the general term “postmodern meta-fiction.” This essay argues that its formal ambiguity helps Coetzee transcend the simple logic of defending animal rights by criticizing anthropocentrism. Coetzee takes narrative form as a kind of resource while discussing animal issues. Through transgeneric writing practice, he does not aim to construct an unconventional narrative form by referring to “mind-reading ability” and “dialogic discourses” in the novel. Instead, Coetzee fully exploits the formal resources of fictional narrative to build an “ethics of otherness” for animals. In doing so, he connects narrative form with ethical inquiry, thereby reflecting the social function of literary narratives. This text can be regarded as Coetzee’s attempt to explore the significance of fictional form through formal experiment. Keywords: J. M.

A polyphonic narrative is employed in the novel to reveal the historical memories of ordinary citizens born after the earthquake, as represented by marginal figures in their families, which suggests hidden familial and social crises within Japanese society. The novel also uses intertextual techniques to depict the growing trend of political rightism in Japan’s current social situation, with characters expressing their concerns about the crisis and their call for social democracy. Through repenting characters and dialogues with history and the deceased, the novel shows Kenzaburo Oe’s reflections on historical issues and expresses his atonement psychology and appeal for hope. In addition, his self-dissection, repentance consciousness, and hope as shown in the novel are inherited from Lu Xun, who probes into historical fate through his characters, seeks redemption through repentance, and passes on hope through writing.

Through concepts such as the Indian Ocean monsoon trade, cosmopolitanism, and water-based identity, this essay explores how the novel constructs historical consciousness in the specific context of East Africa. The novel investigates the causes and consequences of contemporary diaspora within the history of exile from East Africa, discusses the insights pre-modern diaspora experiences can offer to contemporary exiles, and probes into the possibilities for reconstructing identity. Gurnah’s diasporic writing transcends the framework of postcolonial narrative by using East Africa as the method.

The sudden rise of speculative fiction reflects these changes from different perspectives. They feature speculative, imaginative plots and fluent literary language. As a literary genre that transcends borders and eras, speculative fiction is characterized by its efforts to reflect on things that do not exist in real life and the known world. The emergence of speculative fiction in the era of globalization reflects to some extent the further liberation of literary imagination after postmodernism. It is a natural extension and development of science fiction and a branch of postmodernist literature.

It argues that Brushstrokes was distinguished by its diversity, historical engagement, ethnic focus, and pioneering approach in both form and content. The unique backgrounds of its authors, including their linguistic choices for writing and diasporic conditions, gave Brushstrokes a distinctive style for representing history. The writings were deeply intertwined with the historical contexts of China and Britain, as well as the relationship between the two countries over time. Brushstrokes thus provides valuable historical materials for understanding the lived experiences of the British Chinese community.

Louise Erdrich, with her masterful landscape narrative techniques, delves into the multidimensional connotations of silence. This paper begins with a discussion of how Native American writers employ landscape narrative and silence strategies to shoulder the mission of cultural heritage and reflection. Then, it examines how Erdrich establishes a balance between “speaking” and “silence” by employing metaphorical language in her works. This exploration intends to uncover the profound meanings, discourse structures, and rhetorical strategies that underpin the “ineffable,” “unknowable,” and “unnamable” aspects of natural, sacred, and embodied landscapes. Consequently, the analysis reveals how Erdrich employs the multifaceted rhetoric of silence to reconstruct indigenous landscape narratives, expanding the discursive possibilities within the lens of postcolonial criticism.

This essay focuses on the highly symbolic image of “the falling man” in the novel, which is a modified version of a real photograph, embedded in different positions of the novel, directly visualizing the concomitant psychological trauma. With the imagination and visual reversal of the image of “the falling man,” the novel realizes the symbolic transcendence of trauma. The reader quickly flips through the images and is thus involved in Henri Bergson’s sense of duration of the Other, moving towards empathy with trauma. Drawing on Roland Barthes and Vilém Flusser, this essay examines the image of “the falling man,” tracing its three forms in the novel (single image, blurred and enlarged image, and continuous multiple images), explores Foer’s literary interpretation of the psychological trauma caused by the terrorist attack, and analyses the novel’s attempt to transcend psychological trauma and its expectation of readerly empathy.

This article draws on Gilles Deleuze’s idea about the uncertainty and neutrality of an event to analyze the death events in McEwan’s “Solid Geometry” and Solar. The terrifying events shatter alienated marital relationships, displaying McEwan’s examinations and reflections on marriage crisis in contemporary British families.

G. Sebald’s Works ABSTRACT: Contemporary German writer W. G. Sebald often uses “salt” as a fundamental element in constructing literary texts. Rather than extolling the economic value of salt and its contribution to modern civilization, Sebald closely intertwines salt derivatives with catastrophic history. First, Sebald’s “pillar of salt” and Walter Benjamin’s “angel of history” both adopt a distinct posture of “facing the past with their backs to the future,” reflecting the writer’s desire to resist memory erosion and inscribe catastrophic history through literary creation. Second, while the “saltworks” and the spas ostensibly construct a grand vision of an ideal society, in reality they serve as political tools of dictatorship to intensify surveillance and enslave vulnerable groups. They mirror the catastrophic history of each other. Furthermore, the “salt springs” invoke heavy historical memories in the survivors of the disasters. They symbolize both the fountain of memory, imprinting the Nazi regime’s anti-Semitic atrocities, and the fountain of forgetting, cleansing the guilt of the Nazis’ crimes. Lastly, the process of evaporation and crystallization of salt springs not only symbolizes the sedimentation of catastrophic historical fragments in Sebald’s works, but also embodies the writer’s expectation that readers will unearth those “crystallizations” and restore them to brilliance. Keywords: W. G. Sebald, catastrophic history, metaphor of salt Author: Li Wen <euniali@sina.com> is a doctoral candidate at the Department of German, School of Foreign Languages, Beihang University, Beijing, China (100191), specializing in modern German literature. “神话现实主义” —论布朗肖《至高者》中隐匿的俄瑞斯忒斯神话叙事 陈 威 内容提要:布朗肖的长篇小说《至高者》并没有脱离现实,恰恰相反,它正是对现实的迫切回应。题目“至高者”源于荷尔德林对品达诗歌进行评论的散文残篇。以它为扭结,布朗肖浓缩了四十年代很多至关重要的思想与政治事件。小说所包含的与俄瑞斯忒斯悲剧同构的神话叙事是打开这一复杂文本的关键。它通过对代表西方起源性暴力的家庭悲剧进行差异性叙写,动摇了当时主流的、科耶夫化的黑格尔现代国家理论和法哲学的基础,从而隐晦地证明在正义的意义上,法则是不可能的,以之为基础的政治也是不可能的。或许可以把布朗肖这种用神话重写现实的叙事模式称为“神话现实主义”。 关键词:布朗肖 《至高者》 神话叙事 法则 作者简介:陈威,北京大学中国语言文学系博士研究生,研究方向:文艺学。 Title: “Mythological Realism”: On the Hidden Mythological Narrative of Orestes in Maurice Blanchot’s The Most High ABSTRACT: Maurice Blanchot’s novel The Most High is not divorced from reality, but an urgent response to reality. The novel’s title originates from Friedrich H.lderlin’s short commentary on Pindar’s poetry. In it, Blanchot hides many important social thoughts and references to the political events of the 1940s. The mythological narrative in the novel, isomorphic with the tragedy of Orestes, is the key to reading this complicated text. By exploiting the family tragedy of Orestes, which is often regarded as describing original violence in the West, Blanchot disrupts the foundation of the popular Kojéve-based Hegelian modern state theory and legal philosophy, thus demonstrating that in terms of justice, neither law nor politics based on the law is possible. Blanchot’s narrative mode in reflecting reality could be defined as “mythological realism.” Keywords: Maurice Blanchot, The Most High, mythological narrative, law Author: Chen Wei <2101110743@pku.edu.cn> is a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Chinese Language and Literature, Peking University, Beijing, China (100000).

These turns reflect a transformative change in animal studies from emphasizing the value of animals to human beings to acknowledging the intrinsic value of animals. Despite these turns, it is difficult to completely dehumanize the narrative and therefore impossible to achieve an ultimate understanding of animals. Nevertheless, this paradigm aims at understanding animals, improving human-animal relationships, and examining human beings. Keywords: the animal turn, animal studies, animal ethics, animal criticism Author: Yang Zongliang <yangzongliang2018@163.com> is a joint Ph.D. student from Shandong University, Jinan, China (250100) and the University of California, Riverside, USA (92521), majoring in American literature and animal studies. 情感与伦理:当代英美分析美学与列维纳斯 他者理论比较研究 边文君 内容提要:20世纪70年代以降,西方文论迎来伦理转向,其中英美分析美学和法国以列维纳斯为代表的他者理论共同聚焦情感与伦理的关系问题。在分析美学界关于伦理批评的讨论中,一些学者认为,文学能够为读者提供独特视角去体察、感受他人的处境和情感,通过这种情感认同,读者可以更好地理解和关怀他者。而基于列维纳斯理论所建立起的伦理批评则提倡一种以情动性/感受性为基础的伦理关系,通过保留人物情感的不可知性,来实现对他者的伦理关怀。两种观点虽切入点不同,但皆是从情感的角度去捍卫主体性,并致力于以情感为桥梁构建良性的主体间关系。在文学解读层面,二者可以实现一种互为参照、互为补充的视域融合,以破解现代与后现代之间同一与差异的矛盾困局。一方面以情动的他异性保持对情感认同的同一性的质疑,另一方面需积极倡导用文学语言对不可知的情动进行符号建构,将其纳入普适性的情感谱系的建设中,从而形成一种既有自反性又具包容性的良性循环。 关键词:列维纳斯 情感 情动 移情 伦理批评 作者简介:边文君,华中师范大学文学院博士生,主要从事西方文论研究。本文为国家社科基金重大项目“文学伦理学批评的理论资源与对外传播研究”(21&ZD264)的阶段性成果。 Title: Emotion and Ethics: Comparative Research on Contemporary Anglo-American Analytic Aesthetics and Levinas’s Alterity Theory ABSTRACT: Since the 1970s, there has been an ethical turn generated in the western literary theories, in which Anglo-American analytic aesthetics and Levinas’s alterity theory both focus on the relation between emotion and ethics. In the discussion of ethical criticism within the field of analytic aesthetics, some scholars believe that literature can provide readers with a unique perspective to empathize with characters, thus better understanding and caring about the other, while ethical criticism based on Levinas’s theory advocates an ethical relationship on the basis of affectivity/sensibility, which preserves the unknowability of characters’ emotions to ethically care about the other. Despite the distinction, both views tend to defend subjectivity and strive to construct a harmonious intersubjective relationship through emotion. In terms of literary interpretation, they can realize the fusion of horizons to mutually refer to and complement each other, and also to find a way out of the paradox between sameness of modernity and difference of postmodernity. On the one hand, the alterity of affect can keep questioning the homogeneity of empathy; on the other hand, there is a need to actively advocate the symbolic construction of affect by literary language, so that it can be gradually included in the construction of the universal spectrum of emotion and forms a virtuous circle that is both self-reflexive and inclusive.
