摘要
本文以印度诗人泰戈尔、反殖民主义政治家甘地和英国基督教活动家安德鲁斯为中心,探讨了20世纪初印度和英国对未来的跨文化乌托邦想象。本文以泰戈尔(1930年)和甘地(1931年)的两次英国之行,特别是他们对伯明翰伍德布鲁克贵格会学院的访问,以及甘地对兰开夏郡的访问为出发点,展示了英国基督教和贵格会乌托邦与印度乌托邦是如何相互合作的。这篇文章挖掘了科德·卡奇普尔(Corder Catchpool)的乌托邦实验,他也是一名贵格会教徒,住在兰开夏郡的达文(Darwen),甘地住过的地方。文章认为,宗教应该在我们理解乌托邦的过程中占有重要地位。泰戈尔在《人的宗教》(the Religion of Man, 1931)中强调,人类倾向于创造一种矛盾的未来感,而这种未来感并不否定过去,这种倾向在所有讨论过的乌托邦主义者身上都能找到。
Transcultural Utopian Imagination and the Future: Tagore, Gandhi, Andrews, and India–Britain Entanglements in the Early 1930s
abstract:This article focuses on the transcultural utopian imaginings of futures in early twentieth-century India and Britain, with Indian poet Rabindranath Tagore, anti-colonial politician M. K. Gandhi, and British Christian activist C. F. Andrews at the center. Homing in on two trips made to England by Tagore (1930) and Gandhi (1931), especially their visits to Woodbrooke Quaker College in Birmingham, and on Gandhi’s visit to Lancashire, the article shows how British Christian and Quaker utopians and Indian utopians cooperated with each other. The article excavates the utopian experiments of Corder Catchpool, also a Quaker, in Darwen, Lancashire, where Gandhi stayed. Religion should be accorded an important place in our understanding of utopia, the article argues. A human propensity to create a paradoxical sense of futurity that does not negate the past, one that Tagore highlights in The Religion of Man (1931), is found in all the utopians discussed.
