摘要

当有毒物质不断地、不均衡地渗透到世界上时,新的唯物主义转向邀请我们审视污染和文学之间出现的关系。本文探讨了Olive Senior的诗集《热带花园》如何描绘了对加勒比岛屿的浪费和毒性,以及从非霸权角度对有毒政治的反叙事。该论文利用了废物研究、后殖民和物质生态批评领域的方法学贡献,并解决了在文化研究中需要更多以学术为中心的毒性问题,特别是通过热带物质主义的视角。此外,该研究还围绕着废物中心的概念进行了理论化,将其作为一个新颖的解释框架。主要发现表明,诗歌《我父亲的蓝色种植园》、《不可移动的租户》和《建议和设备》揭示了殖民制度是如何造成和延续广泛污染的。这些诗展示了毒性及其对生物和景观的有害影响所引发的环境和社会政治紧张局势,并体现了游击队叙事如何应对广泛的毒性。

Gardening in Polluted Tropics: The Materiality of Waste and Toxicity in Olive Senior’s Caribbean Poetry
While toxic substances continue increasingly, and unevenly, infiltrating the world, the new materialist turn invites us to examine the relationalities emerging between pollution and literature. This essay examines how Olive Senior’s poetry collection Gardening in the Tropics portrays the imposition of waste and toxicity on Caribbean islands and the counter-narratives to toxic politics that emerge from non-hegemonic perspectives. The paper utilizes methodological contributions from the fields of waste studies, postcolonial and material ecocriticism, and addresses the need for more scholarship centering toxicity in cultural studies, especially through the lens of tropical materialisms. Moreover, the research engages with theorizations surrounding the concept of the Wasteocene as a novel interpretative framework. The main findings reveal that the poems “My Father’s Blue Plantation”, “The Immovable Tenant” and “Advice and Devices” identify how extensive pollution is enabled and perpetuated by colonial systems. The poems illustrate the environmental and socio-political tensions prompted by toxicity, its deleterious effects in organisms and landscapes, and embody how guerrilla narratives can confront widespread toxicity.
