摘要

这篇文章提出了一种AgoraGothic的理论，一种在新冠肺炎疫情最严重的时候，《纽约时报》摄影文章《大空》中捕捉到的空旷开放空间的哥特式。大都市的非殖民化空间，就像人类被锁在里面一样，是无主地的殖民条件的重复，也是无主地被主人抛弃并准备被其他人占领的殖民条件。广场闹鬼，有两个非殖民化的记录：失去人类对建筑和自然空间的统治，以及被压抑的非人类他者的回归。当人类蜷缩在里面时，等待是无休止的，因为病毒在外面蔓延。

The AgoraGothic

This essay theorises an AgoraGothic, a Gothic of the empty, open spaces captured in the photographic essay, ‘The Great Empty’ in the New York Times, at the height of the Covid-19 pandemic. The decolonised spaces of metropolises, as humans were locked in, are an iteration of the colonial condition of the terra nullius, but also of the res nullius, abandoned by its owner and ready for occupation by others. The agora is haunted, with two registers of decolonisation: of losing human domination over built and natural spaces, and the return of the repressed non-human Other. As humans cower inside, the wait is interminable, as the virus stalks the outside.

期刊介绍： The official journal of the International Gothic Association considers the field of Gothic studies from the eighteenth century to the present day. Gothic Studies opens a forum for dialogue and cultural criticism, and provides a specialist journal for scholars working in a field which is today taught or researched in academic institutions around the globe. The journal invites contributions from scholars working within any period of the Gothic; interdisciplinary scholarship is especially welcome, as are studies of works across the range of media, beyond the written word.
