摘要

19世纪下半叶,沙面在中国广州建立并发展为殖民地岛屿飞地。同时,对这个地方的文学和文化想象、描绘和叙述产生了一种将沙面作为一个乌托邦岛屿的话语:地理上孤立而有边界,环境美丽而和平,社会排外而和谐,技术进步而有利。本文考察了沙面作为殖民地乌托邦的当代文学和文化表现形式(主要是英语)及其与岛屿空间形成和演变的相互关系。这些文本(主要是书面和图片描述,非虚构的叙述)反映了空间现实,但也促进了空间实践,加强了物理乌托邦岛。这一过程体现了岛屿研究中的表演地理学理论和地理批评中的互文性理论,展示了一个地方的空间表征和现实是如何相互建构的。本文采用互文表演地理学的概念模型,研究了这些文学和文化文本与空间现实的动态相互作用,认为沙面的文学和文化表征(重新)将殖民飞地作为一个乌托邦岛屿,无论是在概念上还是在实践上。

Literary and cultural (re)productions of a utopian island: Performative geographies of colonial Shamian, Guangzhou in the latter half of the 19th century
In the second half of the 19th century, Shamian was established and developed as a colonial island enclave in the Chinese city of Guangzhou. Simultaneously, literary and cultural imaginations, depictions, and narrations of the place produced a discourse of Shamian as a utopian island: geographically insular and bounded, environmentally beautiful and peaceful, socially exclusive and harmonious, and technologically progressive and advantageous. This paper examines contemporaneous (predominantly English) literary and cultural representations of Shamian as a colonial utopia and their interrelations with the island’s spatial formation and evolution. These texts (primarily written and pictorial descriptive, non-fictional accounts) reflected the spatial reality but also promoted spatial practices that reinforced the physical utopian island. This process exemplifies the theories of performative geographies in island studies and intertextuality in geocriticism, showing how a place’s spatial representations and reality are mutually constructed. Adopting a conceptual model of intertextual performative geographies, this paper investigates the dynamic interplay of these literary and cultural texts with the spatial reality, arguing that literary and cultural representations of Shamian (re)produced the colonial enclave as a utopian island, both conceptually and practically.
