摘要

本文从马来西亚和新加坡两位少数民族女作家的小说中探讨了国家建设的空间政治。Preeta Samarasan的《夜晚是一整天》描绘了幽闭恐惧的Rajasekharan家庭,展示了父权制异规范家庭的扭曲如何与新马来西亚国家的限制性民族主义及其对少数民族主体的背叛联系在一起。在Balli Kaur Jaswal的《继承》中,由于新加坡官方的多种族主义,少数民族在快速发展的新国家中有一席之地,但前提是他们保持沉默,符合性规范,不受残疾的阻碍。两位作家都质疑国家规范的历史构建,主张以更公平和包容的未来的名义重新映射国家空间。

The Spatial Politics of Nation-Building: Minority Women Writers in Anglophone Malaysian and Singapore Literatures
This article considers the spatial politics of nation-building in two novels by ethnic minority women writers from Malaysia and Singapore. Preeta Samarasan’s Evening Is the Whole Day depicts the claustrophobic Rajasekharan household, showing how the perversion of the patriarchal heteronormative family is linked to the restrictive ethno-nationalism of a new Malaysian nation and its betrayal of its ethnic minority subjects. In Balli Kaur Jaswal’s Inheritance, ethnic minority subjects have a place in the fast-developing new nation of Singapore because of its official multiracialism but only if they are quiescent, conform to sexual norms, and are not hampered by disability. Both writers question the historical building of national norms, arguing for a remapping of the nation’s spaces in the name of more equitable and inclusive futures.
