摘要

在《码头阅读:水殖民主义和海关》一书中,伊莎贝尔·霍夫梅尔讨论了审查制度,她引用了纳丁·戈迪默(Nadine Gordimer)在一封信中提到的一个阅读数字,戈迪默在信中抗议说,审查者把文学“当作一种商品,可以被分解成其组成部分,像一块肥皂一样被衡量”。霍梅尔意识到这样的阅读方式与殖民地海关官员的阅读方式相呼应,他问道,我们可以从那些“试图像阅读肥皂一样阅读一本书”的人身上学到什么?2

Literary Studies Beyond “The Colonial Book”: A Response to Isabel Hofmeyr’s Dockside Reading: Hydrocolonialism and the Custom House
In her discussion of censorship in Dockside Reading: Hydrocolonialism and the Custom House, Isabel Hofmeyr homes in on a figure of reading invoked by Nadine Gordimer in a letter protesting that the censors treat literature “as a commodity to be boiled down to its components and measured like a bar of soap.”1 Hofmeyr, recognizing that such reading echoes that of the officials of colonial custom houses, asks what we might learn from those “who tried to read a book as a bar of soap”?2
