摘要

这篇文章探讨了 Hardevi 撰写的两篇旅行记叙文，她是一名来自拉合尔的妇女，1887 年前往伦敦参加维多利亚女王的庆典。这两篇记述包含了 Hardevi 对她乘船旅行的叙述以及对庆祝活动的描述。哈德薇展示了女王的婚姻家庭和她的夫妻生活，将其完美地融入了改革派对受过教育的现代贤惠印度女性的描述中。哈德薇在帝国中心与王后的相遇为现代性别化的自我开辟了一个充满可能性的概念空间。这篇文章探讨了她所采用的主体性模式，这种模式使她同时成为帝国奇观中一个顺从和着迷的殖民主体，以及一个主张批判的公民主体。

Queen Victoria through Punjabi Eyes: The Travel Writings of Hardevi

This essay examines two travel narratives written by Hardevi, a woman from Lahore who traveled to London for Queen Victoria's jubilee in 1887. The accounts contain Hardevi's narration of her journey by ship and describe the celebrations. Hardevi showcases the queen's marital home and her conjugal life, seamlessly accommodating them within reformist constructions of a modern, educated, pativrata (conjugally virtuous) Indian woman. Hardevi's encounter with the queen at the heart of the empire opens up a conceptual space of possibilities for a modern, gendered self. This article examines her deployment of a mode of subjectivity that allows her to be, simultaneously, an obedient and fascinated colonial subject of the imperial spectacle and also a citizen-subject who claims the agency of critique.
