Abstract

Abstract:This article proposes to read the landscape in Jane Urquhart's Away both as a stratigraphy of memories and as a cultural medium that not only symbolises power relations but also works as an agent of power. Through investigating the dehistoricised and decontextualised landscape in Northrop Frye's garrison mentality, the article argues that Away refuses to participate in the colonialist operation of reducing the Canadian topography to terra nullius by raising the issue of amnesia and restoring the trauma of history to the landscape that has been emptied of its layered past for (re-)territorialisation.

简·厄克特的《远方》中的风景和历史
摘要:本文建议将简·厄克特的《远方》中的风景解读为一种记忆的地层学,同时也是一种文化媒介,它不仅象征着权力关系,而且是权力的代理人。通过研究诺斯罗普·弗莱驻军心态中去历史化和去文本化的景观,文章认为,Away拒绝参与将加拿大地形缩小为无主地的殖民主义行动,提出健忘症的问题,并将历史的创伤恢复到因(重新)领土化而被清空的土地上。
