Abstract

Abstract:This essay proposes that Romantic studies needs to overhaul its canonical theories of language in order to contend with the rhetoric of racialization that underwrites and sustains structures of antiblackness. Scholarship often casts the apparent instability of race in the period as potentially liberatory, having derived its ideas about rhetoricity from the tradition of rhetorical deconstruction. Arguing that this tendency is both historically and theoretically misguided, the essay identifies an alternative model of rhetorical reading in the work of Hortense Spillers and develops its implications through analyzing a couplet from Mary Robinson's "The Negro Girl" (1800).

浪漫主义与种族化修辞

摘要：本文提出，浪漫主义研究需要彻底改革其规范的语言理论，以应对支持和维持反黑人结构的种族化修辞。Scholarship经常将这一时期种族的明显不稳定视为潜在的解放，它的修辞思想源于修辞解构的传统。本文认为这种倾向在历史和理论上都是错误的，在Hortense Spillers的作品中确定了一种修辞阅读的替代模式，并通过分析玛丽·罗宾逊的《黑人女孩》（1800）中的一对对联来发展其含义。

期刊介绍： Studies in Romanticism was founded in 1961 by David Bonnell Green at a time when it was still possible to wonder whether "romanticism" was a term worth theorizing (as Morse Peckham deliberated in the first essay of the first number). It seemed that it was, and, ever since, SiR (as it is known to abbreviation) has flourished under a fine succession of editors: Edwin Silverman, W. H. Stevenson, Charles Stone III, Michael Cooke, Morton Palet, and (continuously since 1978) David Wagenknecht. There are other fine journals in which scholars of romanticism feel it necessary to appear - and over the years there are a few important scholars of the period who have not been represented there by important work.
