摘要
非洲大陆历史悠久,文化灿烂,却因西方殖民主义而遭遇“文明蒙尘”,一度被视作蛮荒之地,非洲文学也成了难以被人看见的“山中之花”而倍受冷遇,成为世界文学边缘的存在。但非洲文学于2021年实现爆发,这并非出于偶然,而是其去殖民性、流散性和混杂性的文化表征使然,是其百余年来跨域融通、踔厉奋发和笃行不怠的奋斗精神使然,也是其秉持自我、消弭隔阂、牢记历史但又眼望前方的“非洲性”的独特魅力使然。非洲文学虽然脱胎于西方对非洲的殖民历史和欺凌压迫,但在殖民、反殖民和去殖民书写中衍生出多种具有共同体意识的美学表达、思想观念和历史形态,并在当前全球化语境中呈现出全方位的流散特质。这种关注、吸纳、正视异质文化张力的流散特质,使非洲文学的本土书写蕴含着鲜明的世界意识与和合理念,演化出具有当代非洲民族精神的多样性文明,从而使非洲文学有效参与到世界文学乃至世界文明的对话中,并在与西方文化的正和博弈中焕发出强劲的生命力、创造力和影响力,对世界文明的互鉴、融通、共生和共栖具有积极推动作用。
The continent of Africa,with its long history and splendid cultures,was long regarded as a wilderness as Western colonialism darkened its civilizations.This meant that African literatures bloomed remote and unseen;they were met with indifference and had often been seen as“the Other”in world literature.But in 2021,African literatures burst out.Rather than being accidental,this is the cultural representation of decoloniality,diasporicity and hybridity,the crowning achievement of African peoples’cross-border consilience,dogged perseverance and persistent struggle and hard work over more than a century.It also shows the unique attraction of the character of Africa,which cleaves to its own,does away with divisions,and never forgets the lessons of history while looking ahead to the future.Although African literatures originated in the history of Western colonialism,with its concomitant oppression and humiliation,it has evolved into a variety of aesthetic expressions,intellectual beliefs and historical forms.Its colonial,anti-colonial and decolonial writing practice features a sense of community and a comprehensive diasporic character in the context of contemporary globalization.This diasporic character,which concerns,absorbs and confronts the tension between heterogenous cultures,endows African indigenous writing with world consciousness and the idea of harmony.African civilizations have evolved into diverse civilizations with a modern African national spirit.African literatures thus actively participate in dialogue with world literature and world civilization,displaying vitality,creativity and influence in the positive-sum game between African and Western culture.They have a positive effect on the integration,mutual learning and symbiosis of world civilization.
