摘要: 文章探讨古尔纳小说《来世》中的物叙事，运用比尔·布朗提出的“物质无意识”、“物性”及“物质力”概念及相关理论，通过分析《来世》中的手杖、皮鞭、席勒的书、杜松子酒与咖啡等物品，从战时创伤、身份困境以及殖民压迫三方面，探究《来世》中的“物”如何构成哈姆扎的战时创伤、在哈姆扎陷入身份困境时产生意义以及揭示殖民主义对于非洲人民的无情压迫，以此打破传统的人类聚焦，构成小说的物叙事话语系统。
Abstract: This essay explores the thing narrative in Gurnah’s Afterlives, using the concepts of “material unconscious”, “thingness” and “thing-power” proposed by Bill · Brown and related theories. By analyzing the cane, leather whip, books of Schiller, Geneva and coffee in Afterlives, this paper aims to study how these things constitute Hamza’s wartime trauma, generate meaning when Hamza is in the dilemma of identity and reveal the ruthless oppression of the African people by colonialism from three aspects: wartime trauma, identity dilemma, and colonial oppression in order to break the traditional human focus and constitute the thing narrative discourse system of the novel.
