摘要

《中间通道》现在是美国黑人艺术和文化批评中关于生与死的中心转喻。但情况并非总是如此。在二十世纪中期,在长期被忽视之后,中间通道又被奴隶贸易的学术研究带回了公众的视野。我认为,作家们转向这种学术研究,是为了应对后民权时代出现的过度决定的种族内部紧张关系,把这艘船的船舱变成了一种团结的形象。为了追踪这种转变,我分析了罗伯特·海登、普里默斯·圣约翰和纳撒尼尔·麦基的诗歌。海登的《中间通道》是对这一事件的经典文学想象,事实上,它与后来的《中间通道》诗歌有着深刻的分歧,这源于它们创作时社会环境的改变。

Under the Sign of the Middle Passage: Black Solidarity Reimagined
abstract:The Middle Passage is now the central metonym for life and death in US Black arts and cultural criticism. It was not always so. In the mid-twentieth century, after long being overlooked, the Middle Passage was brought back into public consciousness by academic slave trade studies. Writers turned to this scholarship, I argue, to confront overdetermined intraracial tensions that arose in the post-civil rights era, transforming the ship's hold into an image of solidarity. To trace this transformation, I analyze poems by Robert Hayden, Primus St. John, and Nathaniel Mackey. Hayden's "Middle Passage," the canonical literary imagining of the event, in fact reveals deep divergences from later Middle Passage poems, stemming from the altered social situation of their composition.
