Abstract

This work, using a structurationist, structural Marxist understanding of consciousness constitution, i.e., phenomenological structuralism, explores the origins of the contemporary Haitian oppositional protest cry, “the children of Pétion v. the children of Dessalines.” Although viewed within racial terms in regards to the ideological position of Pétion representing the neoliberal views of the mulatto elites, and economic reform and social justice representing the ideological position of Dessalines as articulated by the African masses, this article suggests that the metaphors, contemporarily, have come to represent Marxist categories for class struggle on the island of Haiti within the capitalist world-system under American hegemony at the expense of the African majority, i.e., the Children of Sans Souci.

这部作品运用结构主义、结构马克思主义对意识构成的理解,即现象学结构主义,探讨了当代海地反对派抗议口号“psamtion的孩子vs . Dessalines的孩子”的起源。尽管从种族角度来看,psamtion的意识形态立场代表了混血精英的新自由主义观点,而经济改革和社会正义则代表了非洲群众所阐述的德萨林的意识形态立场,但本文表明,当代的隐喻,在美国霸权下的资本主义世界体系中,以牺牲非洲多数为代价,代表了海地岛上阶级斗争的马克思主义范畴,即“无社之子”。
