Decolonizing Memory is a welcome contribution to the emerging field of postcolonial memory studies. A theoretically sophisticated intervention in debates about the representation of violence and collective trauma in colonial and postcolonial settings, Jill Jarvis’s book zooms in on both canonical and less well-known writings about French Algeria (1830–1962), the Algerian War of Independence (1954–62), and Algeria’s “dark decade” (1988–99) to argue for the seminal importance of the literary imagination in shaping representations of the past and contesting official historical narratives. Paying granular attention to the politics of literary representation and the literary qualities of testimonial texts, Jarvis makes the forceful claim that aesthetic works are best positioned to formulate calls for justice in the absence of adequate juridical frameworks for redress on both sides of the Mediterranean—in France, where state discourse continues to disavow the “hallucinatory violence” of colonization (in Frantz Fanon’s apt phrase), and in Algeria, where the National Liberation Front continues to exploit the collective memory of revolution and martyrdom to maintain power in the face of new prodemocracy movements (2019 to the present). Arguing that the field of postcolonial memory studies has inadvertently recentered Europe in its exploration of decolonization and antiracism in, for example, the emergence of Holocaust memory, Jarvis redirects our attention to how Algerians have contested French and Algerian state accounts of the past in a range of languages (French, Arabic, Darija, and Tamazight) and literary and testimonial forms (novels, essays, manifestos, poetry, and visual art) that together make up an alternative archive of decolonization. Borrowing Lia Brozgal’s productive notion of the “anarchive” (a corpus of texts produced by artists and activists to counter the official silence on the police killings of some two hundred Algerians in Paris on October 17, 1961), Jarvis proposes to “explore anarchival forms of literary expression that unsettle and elude official discourses of both the French and Algerian states in ways that not only rewrite the colonial past, but also make it possible to envision decolonial futures” (2).In a series of close readings of texts written by Fanon, Fadhma Aïth Mansour Amrouche, Djamila Boupacha, Assia Djebar, Yamina Mechakra, Waciny Laredj, Zahia Rahmani, Samira Negrouche, and others, Jarvis argues that “the magnitude of the legal violence exercised by the French to colonize and occupy Algeria is such that only aesthetic works, in particular literature, have been able to register its enduring effects”—effects that, as Jarvis and others have shown, include the violence of the postcolonial state (2). This is a bold claim, at first glance difficult to defend. Where does the monumental work of historians and social scientists of Algeria figure in this account? But Jarvis’s expansive understanding of the literary, which incl

贾维斯对阿甘本的批判在她对拉赫马尼小说的巧妙解读中充分发挥了作用，她的小说本身就明确地参与了对法国和阿尔及利亚国家暴力的双重批判，通过harki的形象，harki是被法国军队驱逐出两个国家叙事的阿尔及利亚士兵。随后的章节调查了可能弥补法国和阿尔及利亚恢复性司法缺失的证言的文学质量(第二章，关于法国在战争期间发表的反殖民主义证言)和反公开形式的哀悼，这些悼念与阿尔及利亚革命后的官方叙述和纪念碑相竞争(第三章和第四章，分别关于Mechakra和Laredj的小说)。贾维斯将异质而独特的语料库汇集在一起，讲述了一个引人入胜的故事，讲述了无数人努力弥补法国和阿尔及利亚“那些本应发生但却没有发生的审判”(94)。采用加亚特里·斯皮瓦克的著名格言“文学不是证据，而是训练想象力的工具”作为她的格言，贾维斯建议阅读“文本……不是过去事件的记录，而是一个动态的、集体的、面向未来的开放式过程的痕迹”(14)。她的结论是在阿尔及利亚被称为“le hirak”的民主运动达到高潮时写的，她声称“文学帮助了这场运动的产生”(173页)。这种说法无法在法庭上得到证明，这是贾维斯论点的一部分。在缺乏正义的情况下，文学是“去殖民化记忆”的舞台。

Today figures like Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos have become high-profile evangelists for private space exploration, arguing that interplanetary colonization is necessary to save humanity from extinction. Although they may have the sheen of innovation, however, these ideas are not new. A century ago a coterie of British novelists, scientists, and social theorists writing during the interwar period became preoccupied with the possibility of human extinction and believed that such a fate might be avoided by taking human civilization to the stars. Watching these intellectual developments with a wary eye, a young C. S. Lewis was increasingly skeptical of both the “extinction panic” that gripped his contemporaries and the utilitarian and environmentally exploitative imagination of planetary conquest they championed. In response Lewis penned Out of the Silent Planet (1938), a novel that imagines three sentient species that have the means to prevent their own extinction but choose not to do so. Reading Lewis’s novel as a critique of the rapacious ideologies that defined this strain of interwar speculation, this article suggests that the novel models how the humanities might effectively respond to the extinction panic and cosmic adventurism that grip our own imperiled twenty-first century.

今天，像埃隆·马斯克和杰夫·贝佐斯这样的人物已经成为私人太空探索的高调传播者，他们认为星际殖民是拯救人类免于灭绝的必要条件。虽然这些想法可能具有创新的光泽，但是，这些想法并不新鲜。一个世纪前，在两次世界大战之间的时期，一群英国小说家、科学家和社会理论家开始关注人类灭绝的可能性，并相信通过将人类文明带到其他星球可以避免这种命运。年轻的c·s·刘易斯以谨慎的眼光观察着这些知识的发展，他越来越怀疑同时代人的“灭绝恐慌”，以及他们所倡导的征服地球的功利主义和环境剥削的想象。作为回应，刘易斯写了《走出沉默的星球》(Out of the Silent Planet, 1938)，这部小说想象了三个有知觉的物种，它们有办法防止自己的灭绝，但却选择不这样做。刘易斯的小说是对贪婪的意识形态的批判，这种意识形态定义了两次世界大战之间的投机行为。本文认为，小说为人文学科如何有效应对笼罩着我们这个危险的21世纪的灭绝恐慌和宇宙冒险主义提供了模型。
