摘要
摘要:本文考察了在哥伦比亚征服阿伊提(Ayti)期间,最后一个Taíno王国的领袖阿纳考纳(Anacaona)的文学存在及其现代意义。本文在简要探讨和分析了克里斯托弗·哥伦布和巴托洛姆斯·德·拉斯卡萨斯的叙事中阿纳卡娜的人物塑造之后,重点分析了阿纳卡娜在海地散居作家的三部作品中的表现:让·姆卡萨特鲁斯的戏剧《阿纳卡娜》(1986);丹尼尔·勒格罗斯·乔治的诗《阿纳考纳》(2001);以及Edwidge Danticat的青少年小说《Anacaona, Golden Flower, Haiti》,1490(2005)。当这些作者再现阿纳卡纳时,他们都以一种与同时代的叙述所呈现的悲剧、合作形象相反的方式这样做。通过引用Anacaona作为一个土生土长的人物,一个在欧洲人出现之前和之后都存在的人,这些作者试图重新确立与Ayti土地的亲缘关系,这为后殖民海地国家创造了抵抗和更新未来的可能性。
"Rise Up Through the Words": Postcolonial Haitian Uncoverings of Anacaona
Abstract:This paper investigates the literary presence and modern significance of Anacaona, leader of the last Taíno kingdom during the Columbian conquest of Ayti. After briefly exploring and analyzing her characterization in narratives by Christopher Columbus and Bartolomé de Las Casas, the paper focuses on Anacaona's representation in three works by Haitian diaspora writers: the play Anacaona by Jean Métellus (1986); the poem "Anacaona" by Danielle Legros Georges (2001); and the young adult novel Anacaona, Golden Flower, Haiti, 1490 by Edwidge Danticat (2005). As these authors re-present Anacaona, they each do so in a way that opposes the tragic, cooperative image presented by contemporaneous accounts. By invoking Anacaona as a native origin figure, one who exists both before and beyond European presence, these authors attempt to reclaim a kinship with the land of Ayti that creates the possibility of resistance and a renewed future for the postcolonial Haitian nation.
