摘要
摘要:本文介绍了苏格兰作为一个受创伤的国家被过去的幽灵困扰的情况。1707年的《联合法案》(Act of Union)使苏格兰丧失了主权,这深刻影响了苏格兰的民族认同。因此,被剥夺能动性的无国籍国家将其文学建立在其英雄过去的理想化故事的基础上。直到20世纪80年代,苏格兰文学才开始处理集体创伤,并产生了关注弱者和被剥削者而不是勇敢者的作品。贾尼斯·加洛韦和a·l·肯尼迪都是这种创伤文学新流派的缩影,他们探索了国家和个人经历之间的联系,以及治疗创伤的策略。
Traumatized selves in Janice Galloway’s The Trick Is to Keep Breathing and A. L. Kennedy’s Night Geometry and the Garscadden Trains
Abstract This paper presents the case of Scotland as a traumatized nation haunted by ghosts of the past. Scottish national identity has been profoundly influenced by the country’s loss of sovereignty in the 1707 Act of Union. As a result, the stateless nation deprived of agency built its literature on the foundations of idealized stories of its heroic past. It was not until the 1980s that Scottish literature started to tackle the collective trauma and gave rise to works focusing on the weak and the exploited rather than the brave. Janice Galloway and A. L. Kennedy both epitomize this new vein of literature of trauma and explore the links between national and individual experience and strategies for healing the trauma.
