摘要
2021年诺贝尔文学奖获得者阿卜杜勒拉扎克·古尔纳在《最后的礼物》中塑造了许多“沉默”的非洲流散者,他们游离于母国和移居国的夹缝中,面临着种族歧视、身份迷失、阶级压迫和家园失落等诸多困境,从而感到一种羞耻感、无价值感和自卑感。他们无法言说自我,难以获得主体性的身份认同。可以说,他们的“沉默”状态就是其母国在全球化的国际权力关系体系中的处境的象征。
The Last Gift was written by Abdulrazak Gurnah, the 2021 winner of the Noble Prize for Literature. In it, the author portrays a number of “silent” African diasporas who are confronted with racial discrimination, the loss of identity, class oppression and/or the loss of their homeland through the gulf between home country and foreign land. This gives them a sense of shamefulness, worthlessness and inferiority. They cannot express themselves, nor can they easily obtain a recognition of their subjectivity. Their “silent” condition is symbolic of their homeland’s status in the relational system of international geopolitical power.
