Abstract

In late nineteenth-century Telugu desa, “Victoria” was more than the name of the queen of Great Britain. It was, in Homi Bhabha's famous formulation, a “sign taken for wonder” the signification of which, however, remained ambivalent. As soon as she was proclaimed the empress of India, the queen's name acquired emblematic connotations that were exploited in both reform and counterreform discourses. Treating Queen Victoria not as a person but as a personification, the present essay reads some of the fetishized signs of the queen in the spatial, print, and literary cultures and notes how the colonial engines of modernity were appropriated, provincialized, and subverted in the domestic sphere.

皇后的印记》:泰卢固德萨女王的省籍化
在十九世纪末的泰卢固语地区,"维多利亚 "不仅仅是英国女王的名字。用霍米-巴巴(Homi Bhabha)的著名表述来说,它是一个 "被视为奇迹的符号",但其含义仍然是矛盾的。维多利亚女王一被宣布为印度的女皇,她的名字就具有了象征性的内涵,在改革和反改革的论述中都得到了利用。本文不是将维多利亚女王作为一个人,而是作为一种人格化的形象,解读了女王在空间文化、印刷文化和文学文化中被迷信化的一些标志,并指出现代性的殖民引擎是如何在国内领域被挪用、省化和颠覆的。
