摘要

凯文·道森(Kevin Dawson)最近在《权力的暗流》(2018)中指出,水景和水生文化在非洲侨民中发挥了至关重要的作用,当代学者“必须超越内陆范式”。这必然形成了对黑人身份的跨国描述,这种描述回避了民族和国家的概念。这篇文章遵循道森的领导,提出了与-à-vis兰斯顿休斯的水的物质对抗。他的作品通过反复引用水路和跨大西洋旅行来强调亲属关系的海洋力量。这篇文章认为,这些频繁出现的文学典故,不仅仅是追溯了水的象征意义的出现,还为他与更多的非洲侨民之间日益增长的亲密关系提供了关键的见解。本文以休斯对水既是隐喻又是物质地理空间的强调为例,展示了海洋方法在非洲侨民中的丰富应用。

Taken by the sea wind: Langston Hughes and the currents of Black identity
ABSTRACT Kevin Dawson has recently argued in Undercurrents of Power (2018) that waterscapes and aquatic culture played a crucial role in the African diaspora, and contemporary scholars “must move beyond landlocked paradigms.” This forms a necessarily transnational depiction of Black identity, one that eschews notions of nation and state. This essay follows Dawson’s lead by proposing a material confrontation with water vis-à-vis Langston Hughes. His writings emphasize this oceanic power of kinship by recurrently referencing waterways and transatlantic travel. More than merely tracing the appearance of water symbolism, this essay contends that these frequent literary allusions grant key insights into his burgeoning kinship with the greater African diaspora. Using Hughes’s emphasis on water as both metaphorical and material geographical space as the key example, this essay demonstrates the fertile application of an oceanic approach to the African diaspora.
