摘要

Mukharji、Pandian、Baijnath和Pillai等去过维多利亚时代晚期伦敦的印度游客,对这座城市的维多利亚式住宅进行了细致的分析,他们被誉为印度民族主义历史上世界主义和审美主体性的代表。尽管他们的描述被解读为印度人越来越适应地方自治、殖民地热情好客的纽带以及伦敦作为殖民地空间的可争议性的证据,但印度人眼中的维多利亚式室内设计原型试图幽灵般地拥有一个梦幻般的英国家。本文回顾了现象学的印度主体在这些叙述中的地位,运用巴舍拉的“梦幻价值”概念和德里达的可见的不可见的光谱逻辑,表明印度的维多利亚时代承载着英国文化和印度殖民创伤的幽灵,而不仅仅是中产阶级印度游客审美和世界主义代理的样本。最终,这些描述中的维多利亚式住宅不如幽灵式宜居;在政治意识形态出现之前,由象象学和现象学价值构成的氛围。

“Soft thick carpet under your feet”: The Indian eye on Victorian London’s homes
Indian visitors to late-Victorian London like Mukharji, Pandian, Baijnath and Pillai, whose accounts carefully essayed the city’s Victorian homes, have been hailed as agents of cosmopolitan and aesthetic subjectivity in the history of Indian nationalism. Though their accounts have been read as the evidence of growing Indian suitableness for Home Rule, bonds of colonial hospitality, and London’s contestability as a colonial space, the Indian eye’s archetypes of Victorian interiors attempted to spectrally possess an oneiric English home. This paper reviews the place of the phenomenological Indian subject in these accounts, applying Bachelard’s notion of “oneiric values” and Derrida’s spectral logic of the visible in-visibleness, to suggest that Indian Victoriana harbours spectres of English culture and India’s colonial traumas, rather than simply specimens of middle-class Indian visitors’ aesthetic and cosmopolitan agency. Ultimately, the Victorian home in these accounts is less habitable than spectral; an atmosphere constituted by oneiric and phenomenological values before political ideology.
