摘要
对岛屿的情感是讨论虚构岛屿现象学的一种独特方法。这种情感补充了岛屿诗学中已被确认的传统:感官探索、空间实践和岛屿的纹理细节。本文以印度南部岛屿城市高知(Kochi)为原型,通过一部关于虚构岛屿的小说作品来解读另一种空间美学,一种将个人/政治关系转变为个人/空间关系的美学。我们认为,N.S. Madhavan 的小说《Litanies of Dutch Battery》(即本小说)通过在叙事中为肉体记忆和集体记忆留出空间,拓展了对虚构岛屿现象学的探究。我们认为,这些以记忆为导向的叙事手段 "省略 "了岛屿诗学,在文学岛屿性的形式特征中加入了后殖民焦虑的诠释学。
Provincializing Island Poetics: The Personal as the Spatial in N S Madhavan’s Litanies of Dutch Battery
Affect towards islands is a unique approach to engage with in discussions of the phenomenology of fictional islands. This affect complements the already identified tropes within island poetics: those of sensorial exploration, spatial practices, and textural detailing of islands. This article turns to a work of fiction about a fictional island based on the island city of Kochi in south India to unpack an alternative aesthetic of spatiality, the kind that changes the personal/political relationship to personal/spatial one. We argue that the novel, Litanies of Dutch Battery (the novel in question) by N.S. Madhavan, expands inquiries into phenomenology of fictional islands by making space for corporeal memory and collective memory in storytelling. These memory-oriented narrative devices, we suggest, “provincialize” island poetics to add a hermeneutic of postcolonial angst to the repertoire of formal features of literary islandness.
