摘要

本文通过将UFO绑架叙事的结构元素与非洲奴役的历史叙述进行比较，考察了UFO绑架叙事的种族维度。有人认为，美国白人对UFO绑架的叙述，占了此类描述的绝大多数，来自于对奴役和从非洲人身上获利的普遍罪责的集体感觉。有人建议，UFO绑架的经历是一种克服这种普遍的内疚感的方式，通过建立一种新的权力动态，扭转受害者和加害者的角色，并密切反映绑架的历史记录。此外，它试图增加围绕种族和外星人的概念的话语。

Alienation and Aliens: A Comparative Study of Narratives of Abduction in Historical African and UFO Experiences

Abstract This article examines the racial dimensions of UFO abduction narratives by comparing the structural elements of these narratives with historical accounts of African enslavement. It is suggested that UFO abduction narratives from White Americans, which make up an overwhelming majority of such accounts, comes from collective feelings of widespread culpability for the enslavement and profiting from African persons. It is suggested that the UFO abduction experience is a way to overcome such pervasive feelings of guilt by establishing a new power dynamic that reverses the roles of victim and victimizer and mirrors closely historical accounts of abduction. Furthermore, it seeks to add to the discourse surrounding race and the conception of the extraterrestrial.

期刊介绍： Fabula is a medium of discussion for issues of all kinds which are of interest to international folk narrative research. The journal contains eight divisions: Articles, Minor Contributions, Research Reports and Conference Reports, News, Projects and Queries, Reviews, Bibliographical Notes, and Books Received. Principal themes of the article section are the study of popular narrative traditions in their various forms (fairy tales, legends, jokes and anecdotes, exempla, fables, ballads, etc.), the interrelationship between oral and literary traditions as well as the contemporary genres. Interest focuses on Europe and overseas countries which are influenced by European civilization, but still, there is quite a number of contributions from other culture areas.
