摘要

本文将认真探讨安吉拉·卡特在其晚期小说中对种族和帝国主义的戏谑处理。文章认为,卡特将流行戏剧文化表现为英国性的一种大众化的多样性,这揭示了她的政治核心的一种矛盾的张力:即,一个人可以在维持严肃的反种族主义或反帝国主义政治的同时,享受将“英国性”作为一种人口统计学范畴的流行形式。在卡特最后两部小说《马戏团的夜晚》(1984)和《聪明的孩子》(1991)以及她的短篇小说《黑色维纳斯》(1980)中,喜剧独白作为叙事策略的中心特征,本文认为卡特采用喜剧表演的批判边缘来建立一种反对帝国文化及其遗产的反对关系。

“The Other Side of Imperialism”: The Comic Monologue in Angela Carter’s Late Fiction
This essay takes seriously Angela Carter’s playful treatment of race and imperialism across her late fiction. It argues that Carter’s representation of popular theatrical culture as a demotic variety of Englishness reveals a paradoxical tension at the heart of her politics: namely, the idea that one can sustain a serious antiracist or anti-imperialist politics while simultaneously taking pleasure in the popular forms that underwrite “Englishness” as a demographic category. In reading the comic monologue as a central feature of Carter’s narrative strategy across her last two novels, Nights at the Circus (1984) and Wise Children (1991), and her short story, “Black Venus” (1980), this essay suggests that Carter adopts the critical edge of comic performance to establish a dissenting, oppositional relationship to imperial culture and its legacies.
