AbstractTaken from the beginning of Zhang Guixing’s 1998 novel Elephant Herd (Qunxiang), this excerpt opens with a series of flashbacks to incidents that occurred when the narrator was six, seven, eight, and fourteen years old, respectively, focusing on the narrator’s relationship with various members of his extended family and family acquaintances. The novel’s main plotline (which is not introduced in this short excerpt) describes a trip that the twenty-year-old protagonist, Shi Shicai, takes up Sarawak’s Rajang River with his former high-school classmate Zhu Dezhong in search of Shicai’s uncle, Yu Jiatong, who is the leader of an underground brigade of communist guerillas.

AbstractThis article explores the potential of a Sinophone Global South paradigm by examining how marginal literature or literature from the periphery negotiates its status within a system of recognition in the production and circulation of knowledge. Using Sinophone Malaysian writer Chang Kuei-hsing’s novel, Monkey Cup, the article considers two thematic focuses under the larger paradigm of the Global South as methodology: 1) the critique of global capitalism in the form of colonial practices; and 2) the response of indigenous, marginal, and under-represented communities to the failure of globalization and its promise to support and elevate them beyond the confines of the nation states. It contends that a Global South approach to Sinophone Malaysian literature, in the case of Chang’s writing, allows us to engage in a process of unlearning/unworlding and relearning/reworlding to unearth a decolonial meaning making process of minor literatures and marginal cultures.

摘要本文通过考察边缘文学或边缘文学如何在知识生产和流通的认知体系中谈判自己的地位，探讨了华语全球南方范式的潜力。本文以马来西亚华语作家张桂兴的小说《猴子杯》为研究对象，在全球南方的大范式下，探讨了两个主题:1)以殖民实践的形式批判全球资本主义;2)土著、边缘和代表性不足的社区对全球化失败的反应，以及全球化支持和提升他们超越民族国家界限的承诺。本文认为，以张戎的作品为例，对马来西亚华语文学的全球南方研究方法，使我们能够参与一个遗忘/非世界化和再学习/再世界化的过程，从而发掘次要文学和边缘文化的非殖民化意义创造过程。本文的早期和较长的版本发表在《孙中山人文学报》全球南方与华语文学专刊，51(2021年9月):129-54。注1斯帕克，“无处不在，但总是在某个地方”，117.2 López，“引言:全球南方”，3-6.3斯帕克，“无处不在，但总是在某个地方”，119.4莱凡德和米格诺洛，“全球南方和世界混乱/秩序”，1-2.5 Figueira，“全球南方”，144.6 Tee，“华语马来西亚文学”，304.7我使用了“麻花文学”一词的通用译法，而不是Tee文章中使用的“麻花文学”Brian Bernards将后殖民时期马来西亚华语文学的发展归因于通过台湾走向“跨国”的尝试，以及马来国家对华语社区和文化的少数化的结果。伯纳德列举了1969年吉隆坡种族骚乱和国家文化政策(Dasar Kebudayaan Kebangsaan)的实施等事件，作为华语马来西亚人涌入台湾接受高等教育的原因。该政策宣布马来文学和华语文学为民族文学。见《书写南海:想象中国与东南亚后殖民文学中的南洋》，第82-83页，第87-88页。从某种意义上说，台湾是马来西亚华语作家的休养地，他们在中国大陆被共产主义和亚洲的反共言论所取代的情况下，继续寻找“文化回归”的神话。11 Tee，“(再)华语文学，”89.12 Groppe，国语马来西亚文学，19.13 Shih，视觉与身份，4.14同上，5.15 berards, Writing the South Seas, 111.16 Chang的雨林三部曲(榆林三不曲，1998)，猴子杯(后北，2000)和我的南海睡美人(我的南海睡美人)《猴子杯》，130页。这部小说是我翻译的同上，135.19 López，“Introduction: The (Post)global South，”2.20 Chang, Monkey Cup, 113.21同上，114.22在她对土著旅游的具体研究中，马丁内斯声称，对于土著“艺术家、表演者和企业家……参与的智慧表现出一种成熟、适应性和多元世界观的意识，以及这些积极参与者完成的商业谈判。”见“错误的方向和声音、代表和参与的新地图”，555,563.23更多关于布鲁尼尔的工作，见《主权的第三空间:美国-土著关系的后殖民政治》(明尼阿波利斯:明尼苏达大学出版社，2007年)马丁内斯，《错误的方向和新的地图》，563.25亚历克西斯·塞莱斯特·邦滕在《更像我们自己》中说:通过旅游业的土著资本主义”，“大多数土著旅游场所……在很大程度上是通过通信技术的发展、国际旅游业的迅速扩张以及新自由主义政府旨在通过国际游客促进国家经济和纠正过去殖民活动、同化政策、种族灭绝和奴隶制造成的多代创伤的政策而成为可能的”(285-86)。26 .正是民族国家认识到旅游业对民族经济的重要性，才为土著社区争取土著主权开辟了可能性Clifford，“本土表达”，482.27联合国开发计划署，锻造全球南方:联合国南南合作日，2004.12月19日，同上，第476页。

AbstractEmbodiment philosophy and cognitive linguistics are important cross-disciplinary methods used in Laozi studies. Li Zehou’s study of the Laozi touches on questions from embodiment philosophy and cognitive linguistics such as cognitive embodiment, unconscious thought, and metaphor, which helps in recognizing the cognitive process and many cognitive principles in the Laozi in going from “embodiment of reality” to “metaphorical thought” and again to “metaphorical language expression, which is the origin of the study of embodiment philosophy and cognitive linguistics in the Laozi.

AbstractThis paper seeks to establish Chang Kuei-hsing as a Sarawakian writer, or better still, a Sarawakian Taiwanese writer, rather than a Malaysian writer. Chang was born and raised in Sarawak before it was incorporated into Malaysia in 1963, and he left to become a Taiwanese citizen in the 1980s. All of his major novels are set in Sarawak, and several of them express a distinctively self-critical perspective that implicates Chinese settlers and their descendants in their exploitation of the Borneo Rainforest and the dispossession of indigenous Dayak peoples. A Sinophone ethic emerges from these moments of self-critique that does not shy away from confronting history in its place-based specificity and, within this specificity, the historical actors’ complicity within it.

摘要本文试图将张桂兴确立为沙捞越作家，或者更确切地说，是沙捞越台湾作家，而不是马来西亚作家。张在1963年沙捞越被并入马来西亚之前，在沙捞越出生并长大，他在20世纪80年代离开沙捞越成为台湾公民。他所有的主要小说都以沙捞越为背景，其中有几部小说表达了一种独特的自我批评视角，暗示中国定居者及其后代对婆罗洲雨林的开发和对土著达雅族的剥夺。一种华语伦理从这些自我批判的时刻中浮现出来，它不回避面对基于地域的特殊性的历史，以及在这种特殊性中，历史行动者在其中的共谋。注1陈玉新:“张贵兴小说中隐藏的文字伏击”，《张贵兴的野猪渡河》，香港浸会大学文学院编(香港:汇智社，2022)，第95页。这篇文章中所有的中文文本都是我自己翻译的高嘉谦、禹锦龙、张桂兴，“野兽与婆罗洲大史:张桂兴虚构世界的问题与回答”，载于《张桂兴的野猪》22-29.3白义轩，“专注于写好小说的文艺老青年——访《野猪渡河》作者张桂兴”，载于《张桂兴的野猪》13-21.4张桂兴，象群(群祥)(台北:《时代周刊》，1998年)，41.5同上，215.6张桂兴《猴杯》(台北:联书社，2000年)，35.7这两段引文均出自张桂兴《猴杯》，179.8值得注意的是，这三种类型的企业是19世纪之交外人眼中的旧金山唐人街的“三种声音”，这是马龙·宏认为的典型的边疆城镇。见洪马伦，《旧金山唐人街粤语白话押韵介绍》，载于《金山歌谣》(伯克利和洛杉矶:加州大学出版社，1987)，第3-70.9页。请注意，土著人是如何与蛇和野兽放在同一名单上的，这是典型的移民殖民心态“性之旅”和“性学”原英文，Chang, Monkey Cup, 244.11 Édouard Glissant, Faulkner, Mississippi, trans。巴巴拉·刘易斯和托马斯·斯皮尔(芝加哥:芝加哥大学出版社，1999年)，105.12张奎兴的《猴子杯》，262.13张奎兴的《野猪》，25.14同上，75。施淑梅施淑梅是加州大学洛杉矶分校比较文学系、亚洲语言与文化学系和亚裔美国人研究学系联合任命的欧文和珍·斯通人文学科教授。她曾担任美国比较文学协会主席(2021-2022)，并在国立台湾师范大学担任名誉讲座教授，她在那里获得了英语学士学位，纽曼奖得主张桂兴是她的学长。她从大学时代起就是张桂行作品的忠实粉丝。在其他作品中，她2007年出版的《视觉与身份:横跨太平洋的华语发音》(伯克利:加州大学出版社)被认为开创了华语研究的新领域。这本书已被翻译成普通话和韩语。她在区域研究、民族研究和比较文学的交叉领域工作，并出版了三部专著和七部编辑的书籍，主题包括跨国主义、批判理论、比较种族化、本土知识、台湾研究和华语研究。她即将出版的著作包括在台湾出版的两卷书:《跨界理论》(专著)、《台湾理论》(编辑卷)，以及在美国出版的两卷书:《华语分歧》(专著)和《跨学科华语研究》(编辑卷)。

Chang was born and raised in Sarawak before it was incorporated into Malaysia in 1963, and he left to become a Taiwanese citizen in the 1980s. All of his major novels are set in Sarawak, and several of them express a distinctively self-critical perspective that implicates Chinese settlers and their descendants in their exploitation of the Borneo Rainforest and the dispossession of indigenous Dayak peoples. A Sinophone ethic emerges from these moments of self-critique that does not shy away from confronting history in its place-based specificity and, within this specificity, the historical actors’ complicity within it.

AbstractIn his acceptance speech, Newman Prize winner Chang Kuei-hsing, born in Borneo, Southeast Asia, provides insights into the complex history and racial diversity of Borneo, which is the third largest island in the world and is home to the world’s second-largest rainforest. He discusses the racial and political complexities of Malaysia, where Malays are the dominant power and Lee Kuan Yew’s vision of a “Malaysian’s Malaysia” led to Singapore breaking away from Malaysia. He also shares his experience of attending a Chinese-language school and, later, how English-language schools with minimal Chinese programs provided him with the resources he needed to write and publish his earliest works and paved the way to his later writing career in Taiwan.

AbstractThis essay uses a dialectics of wildness and domestication as a prism through which to examine the first work in Zhang Guixing’s informal rainforest trilogy, his 1998 novel Elephant Herd (Qunxiang). Focusing on Zhang’s engagement with issues of nature, colonialism, language, and family, the essay argues that the novel pivots on a pair of intertwined impulses to domesticate wilderness, on the one hand, and to disrupt and figuratively “re-wild” these domesticated spaces, on the other hand. Even as wildness, in all its forms, is perceived as an existential threat that needs to be tamed, the resulting domestication process frequently involves patterns of violence that require new efforts of domestication in their own right.

{"title":"Untamed: Wilderness and Domestication in Zhang Guixing’s <i>Elephant Herd</i>","authors":"Carlos Rojas","doi":"10.1080/27683524.2023.2205786","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/27683524.2023.2205786","url":null,"abstract":"AbstractThis essay uses a dialectics of wildness and domestication as a prism through which to examine the first work in Zhang Guixing’s informal rainforest trilogy, his 1998 novel Elephant Herd (Qunxiang). Focusing on Zhang’s engagement with issues of nature, colonialism, language, and family, the essay argues that the novel pivots on a pair of intertwined impulses to domesticate wilderness, on the one hand, and to disrupt and figuratively “re-wild” these domesticated spaces, on the other hand. Even as wildness, in all its forms, is perceived as an existential threat that needs to be tamed, the resulting domestication process frequently involves patterns of violence that require new efforts of domestication in their own right.
