论《地下铁道》中的景观私刑 奚 茜 左心如 内容提要:科尔森·怀特黑德的小说《地下铁道》以黑奴科拉的视角向读者呈现了马克·吐温笔下的“私刑合众国”图景。本文聚焦私刑书写,指出小说中的景观私刑借公开处决传统、福音派宗教话语与治安维持会三重旧制延续其合法性,但其暴力内核已蜕变为种族恐吓与大众狂欢。施刑者通过“黑人强奸”“黑人暴力”“黑人愚蠢”等私刑话语试图维持旧的种族秩序,却暴露出“白人性”的脆弱,预示种族幻想的破灭。观众构成暴力共同体,报刊更是将私刑转化为跨时空传播的文本载体。怀特黑德借此引导读者直面美国历史教育中选择性叙事导致的历史断裂。 关键词:科尔森·怀特黑德 《地下铁道》 景观私刑 历史断裂 作者简介:奚茜,文学博士,重庆大学外国语学院讲师,硕士生导师,研究方向为当代英美小说、文学与法律。左心如,重庆大学外国语学院硕士研究生,研究方向为美国文学。本文系教育部人文社会科学研究一般项目青年课题“当代英语小说的法律叙事研究”(24YJCZH347)和中央高校基本科研业务费“当代英美小说中文学元素与法律问题的互动”(2021CDJSKJC24)的阶段性成果。 Title: Spectacle Lynching in The Underground Railroad ABSTRACT: Colson Whitehead’s novel The Underground Railroad presents, through the perspective of the enslaved protagonist Cora, the spectacle of what Mark Twain termed the “United States of Lyncherdom.” This study focuses on the depiction of lynching in the novel, revealing that spectacle lynching borrows from traditions of public execution, evangelical discourse, and vigilante practices to sustain its legitimacy, while its core violence has mutated into racial terror and mass entertainment. Through lynching discourses such as “Black rape,” “Black violence,” and “Black stupidity,”executioners attempt to salvage a precarious racial order yet ultimately expose the fragility of whiteness and foreshadow the collapse of racial fantasy. The spectators form a violent community, while the press further transforms lynching into a transmissible text across time and space. Whitehead thus helps readers to confront the historical discontinuities resulting from selective narratives in American history education.

Inheriting the tradition of sports writing, writers employ postmodern realism to construct mass sports activities as unique cultural spectacles, highlighting the signif icant role of sports in everyday life. This article explores the cultural connotations and social functions of sports spectacle writing in contemporary American f iction. By selecting representative works of sports writing, it examines how authors create cultural domains that ref lect personal growth, group relations, and national identity through depictions of campus, community, and national sports. The study reveals how these authors, while providing deep insights into social life, illuminate American societal values where notable biases and cultural othering are present, necessitating further critical ref lection.

Within this process, material technology and cognitive conquest converge to constitute a novel form of violence. Their confluence engenders the system of imperial capitalism def ined by value quantification and limitless expansion, which self-generates a dark theology of “War is God” as its ultimate legitimacy. The novel thus attributes the origins of the American modern order to a violent collusion between technological rationality and imperial capital. Furthermore, with extraordinary prescience, the novel illuminates the violent essence of contemporary capitalist crises and global turmoil, of fering a unique and thought-provoking critical perspective for understanding America’s frontier history and the developmental trajectory of modernity itself.

In his writing, the city is transformed into a theatre where ceremonial performances are constantly staged. Drawing on dramatic theory, this article examines the characteristics of ritual performance in Ackroyd’s Hawksmoor, The House of Doctor Dee, and Dan Leno and the Limehouse Golem. It analyzes how these ritual performances af fect London’s temporal and spatial systems, ultimately dragging the city into an “eternal” state under the control of heretical will. Ackroyd’s purpose is to use ritual performance to deconstruct the so-called “orthodox” culture within the city, to demonstrate the diverse characteristics of British culture, and to ref lect on the cultural crisis since the 1980s.

Combining ethical literary criticism with neuroethics, and referencing Black Dogs and Enduring Love, this study clarifies the novel’s conceptualization of the narrative construction of empathy. It argues that McEwan distinguishes between “emotional empathy” and “cognitive empathy,” demonstrating their divergent ethical efficacy. Ef fective empathy is not merely emotional resonance but a process dependent on neural foundations, necessitating rational cognition and confirmation of ethical identity, culminating in ethical choice. Literary imagination does not guarantee redemption; rather, it creates occasions for reflection, catalyzes cognitive empathy, and ultimately facilitates moral action through ethical choice.

Rather than treating Dunkirk as a fixed historical referent, the novel places the event at the convergence of multiple memory media, where heterogeneous rhetorical strategies of remembrance are brought into implicit dialogue with the heroic schematic narrative template of the “glorious empire”. In doing so, Atonement lays bare the media logic governing the production of memory while simultaneously probing the ethical limits of its representational practices. This study delineates three interrelated modes of mediated collective memory rhetoric in the novel: an embodied mode centered on the frontline battlefield, an archival mode situated within the hospital space of the home front, and a negotiatory mode enacted through the novel’s metafictional structure. Importantly, Atonement does not seek to of fer an alternative history. Instead, it stages an intermedial practice of remembering Dunkirk, thereby opening an ethically self-reflexive pathway for reconsidering war in the post-memory era.

Through the dual strategies of “writing back to the empire” and transfictional narrative, Daoud reconstructs the image of the “Arab” victim in Camus’ “Meursault case,” striving to restore a history deliberately erased by colonizers and offering political reflections on post-independence identity in former colonies. Grounded in a “writing back” from the “margins” and the continuation of a fictional world, Daoud’s work challenges the classic narrative tradition of French-language literature. It reflects the complex consciousness of Algerian writers shifting from resistance to reconciliation, while signaling a new trend in African French-language literature as it seeks self-definition by gradually disentangling itself from colonial constraints.

The novel depicts communication and intra-action between women and plants, revealing a path of resistance built on female solidarity. By examining the language of bush plants in the novel, this article analyzes the process by which women learn from plant thinking to seek paths for survival, revealing how the “plant voice” assists in constructing a community of life between women and plants in their fight against oppression. Through delicate, evocative depictions of plant sounds, the novel delineates the gradual awakening of plants and women in the bush prison: from utter silence under violence to the voice of awakening, and finally to the voice of “fecundity of life” resonating with vitality. In doing so, Wood builds a soulmate-like alliance between plants and women, rousing women’s inner life force to break patriarchal shackles and achieve both physical and spiritual liberation.

The spiritual journey of the protagonist Ahmed, initiated by sound, serves not only as a universal exposition of the transformation of individual consciousness but also as a construction of identity between the self and others in the process of mutual integration, a deconstruction and reconstruction of identity amidst environmental conflict. The author’s depiction of the convergence of sound and truth, the tension of identity in self-calling, as well as the coupling of roles in listening, ref lect the profound introspection of the 1960s generation of Arab writers regarding national destiny, which highlights the novel’s philosophical perspective and political insight.

Grounded in shame theory from affect studies and Japan’s culture of shame, this article examines the protagonist’s representations of shame, explores the affective tension between shame and pride, and uncovers the war reflections embedded within shame. It argues that the novel utilizes shame as a mirror to represent the difficulty Japanese people faced in confessing to the War of Aggression against China. The protagonist’s difficulty in discussing or facing shame and his inability to absolve himself reflect the unacknowledged shame that cannot be confronted directly. Through the protagonist’s concealment of shame and his justification of militarism, as well as the alternative emotions of other characters, such as shame-induced suicide or anger, the novel presents the shame of post-defeat Japan, exploring the Japanese national sentiment before and after the War of Aggression, and re-examining the populace’s war reflections.

Louise Glück, by contrast, embarks on a transformative process of innovation through her unique mosaic writing strategy. She artfully dilutes subjective emotions and self-scrutiny while blurring personal perspectives and self-consciousness, piecing together fragmented voices into a mosaic-like tableau that is chaotic and hazy, yet harmonious. This reformative trajectory, with its qualities of fragmentation, ambiguity, and universality, moves beyond the confines of the Confessionalists’ self-indulgence.

However, the “Global South,” as an epistemology that emphasizes southern agency, is reshaping the landscape of African literary research. Unlike postcolonialism, which relies heavily on discursive critique and focuses on North-South conflicts, the Global South perspective foregrounds African local contexts and seeks to construct Africa’s autonomous literary-evaluative frameworks. It shifts focus from North-South conflicts to South-South cooperation, highlighting texts that explore intra-African cultural interactions, Afro-Asian relations, and cultural exchanges across the South Atlantic and Indian Oceans. China in Twentieth- and Twenty-First Century African Literature offers a compelling illustration of this emerging paradigm. Through a Global South lens, it interrogates African literary works depicting Sino-African cultural interactions.

In responding to these real-world challenges, children’s literature not only provides an opportunity for young readers to engage with their era but also frequently confronts serious social problems. This article shows that these works depict children’s growth from passive “others” to empowered “subjects,” and that the narrative tension of such texts has intensified through the interplay between children’s agency and critical reflection on social issues. the increasingly blurred boundary between childhood and adulthood has fostered the flourishing of crossover phenomena within children’s literature.

This convergence of multi-scalar memory constitutes a “planetary memory.” Cotton, which functions as the engine of capital expansion, drives the global mapping of “Cheap Nature” and leads to ecological catastrophe, elucidating capitalism as a “world-ecology.” Coal and Black bodies fuel the operation of the energy system, compressing the geological-social temporal dimension and leaving behind a geological memory that warns of depletion. Iron, as a technological apparatus consolidating the capitalist order, anchors historical development to a track of accumulated crisis. The text unsettles conventional scales of perception, positioning capitalism as a force steering planetary destiny, and, through planetary memory shaded by crisis, subverts the myth of progress it claims to uphold.

The new mobilities paradigm, which focuses on the interaction between social mobility and spatial mobility, provides an effective theoretical lens for interpreting Kelman’s works. The repetitive commuting trajectory in The Busconductor Hines and A Chancer ref lects stagnant social class mobility under the wave of deindustrialization. In Kieron Smith, Boy, the themes of wandering, railways, and ferries foreshadow the potential mobility of marginalized groups, while the deterritorialization and reterritorialization of boundaries indicate a loosening of solidif ied social space. Moreover, the representation of global cyberspace in Dirt Road sketches a cognitive map of global mobility, where transnational movement provides the possibility of reshaping national identity in the context of globalization. The forms of spatial mobility in Kelman’s novels evolve from stagnation and rigidity to deterritorialization and reterritorialization, and f inally to cross-border integration, ref lecting the transformation of Kelman’s creative intention from local concern to a global perspective.

This performativity is rooted in the limited first-person perspective, the fragmented textual presentation, and the material quality of the notes as “relics.” Through this performative vehicle, Irving shapes the protagonist, Siggy, into an absurd hero who, by taking personal notes, demonstrates his capacity for wonder, reflection, and judgment. The note-based narrative of the absurd hero critiques the structure of “identity thinking” underlying war atrocities, exposes the violent logic embedded in the “Holocaust-centrist” narrative hegemony constructed by victorious Western nations after the War, and analyzes the deep-seated causes of the perpetuation of such atrocities. Through its note-form narrative, Setting Free the Bears pushes the speculative discourse on war ethics in literature to a new level of profundity.

Drawing on genre studies and existentialist philosophy, this article systematically analyzes the novel’s radical reconstruction of the classic Bildungsroman paradigm, arguing that it constitutes a subversive existentialist Bildungsroman. First, the novel redefines the core of Bildung, suggesting that the protagonist’s development is directed not towards social integration nor identity formation, but towards a Heideggerian authentic awakening —a movement from fallenness to being-toward-death. Second, the novel reveals the paradoxical duality of art as internal unconcealment and external proof, thereby transcending the conventional theme of artistic redemption. Finally, the tragic denouement signif ies not a failure of growth but an ultimate critique of an instrumental-rational society through a conscious embracement of an authentic being-toward-death. Through this case study, the article traces the profound shift in the concept of Bildung within the modern context — from outward socialization to inward philosophization.
