Abstract

Abstract:This essay analyzes Joann Sfar's Rabbi's Cat and Rabbi's Cat 2 through the concepts of conviviality and world literature, drawing on the scholarship of Paul Gilroy and Pheng Cheah. I argue that Sfar offers through a decolonial lens a "world literature" with a normative world-making vision (Cheah) that asserts specific convivialities of what is deemed mutually exclusive under colonialism and in its aftermath, such as Jew and Muslim; native, diasporic, and colonial languages; and the rational-secular and "the enchanted."

想象世界文学中的世界主义、欢乐和共存:约翰·斯法的《拉比的猫》中的犹太人、穆斯林、语言和魅力

摘要:本文借鉴Paul Gilroy和Pheng Cheah的研究成果，从交际和世界文学的角度分析Joann Sfar的《拉比的猫》和《拉比的猫2》。我认为，Sfar通过非殖民化的视角提供了一种“世界文学”，它具有规范的世界建构视角(Cheah)，主张在殖民主义及其后果下被视为相互排斥的特定行为，例如犹太人和穆斯林;本土语言、散居语言和殖民地语言;理性-世俗和“被蛊惑者”。
