Abstract
This essay reads Guadeloupean novelist Simone Schwartz-Bart’s Pluie et vent sur Télumée miracle (The Bridge of Beyond), positioning the novel as a vital archive for decolonizing the so-called ontological turn. In addition to narrativizing the stakes of disavowing the human, the novel situates gendered embodiment at the heart of these concerns, asking whether a movement toward the nonanthropocentric subject is always a movement away from how gender matters, and, significantly, how gender matters alongside race.
本文阅读了瓜德罗普小说家西蒙娜·施瓦茨-巴特的《超越之桥》(The Bridge of Beyond),将这部小说定位为非殖民化所谓本体论转向的重要档案。除了叙述否认人类的利害关系之外,小说还将性别化的体现置于这些问题的核心,提出了一个问题:一场走向非人类中心主体的运动是否总是一场远离性别重要性的运动,更重要的是,性别如何与种族一起重要。
