摘要
本文旨在通过对尼日利亚黑人和女同性恋女性形象的探索,呈现尼日利亚后殖民国家的新范式。Discutire尼日利亚nacion reconceptualizacion等条件,有可能是通过订正的作家Chinelo Okparanta前尼日利亚女人(在这种情况下低级和令人发指)视野homoerotica或afroqueer小说Under the Udala和(2015年)。探究尼日利亚妇女和女同性恋文学视野清楚提出宝贵的一种颠覆改写,重建和reconceptualizar尼日利亚nacion(交织),与其他主观性的目的在使otredad nacion肯尼亚的项目的一部分。奥克帕兰塔被认为是非洲侨民和跨文化作家,她挑战尼日利亚国家,展示它的后深渊结构,超越了简化主义和单一的话语。知识分子提出的利用方法属于性别Postcoloniales研究领域或研究Queer内维尔Hoad,总行Amadiume,林赛Green-Simms或李Edelman,打算表明小说Okparanta可以作为实践并eurocentricas受性能hegemonicas, heteronormativas非洲大陆。本文通过对尼日利亚黑人女同性恋形象的探索,提出了后殖民时期尼日利亚国家的修正范例。我认为,奇内洛·奥克帕兰塔(Chinelo Okparanta)在她的首次小说《乌达拉树下》(Under the Udala Trees, 2015)中修正了从同性恋或非洲酷儿立场带来的次等和可恶的尼日利亚女性地位,使尼日利亚民族的重新概念化成为可能。从文学立场对尼日利亚女同性恋(hood)的探索,清楚地代表了一种有价值的、颠覆性的方式来重写、重建和重新概念化后殖民时期的尼日利亚国家,从而使其他主体性也能成为国家建设项目的一部分。奥克帕兰塔,被认为是一个Afrosporic和跨文化作家,挑战尼日利亚国家,以呈现我们的后深层次结构,超越了reductive和monolithic的讨论。Drawing on the work of a wide array of学者应交织,Gender and Queer研究—如内维尔Hoad,总行Amadiume,林赛Green-Simms,和李Edelman—I表现how Okparanta’s初期can work as an例如反对hegemonic, heteronormative of resistance and Eurocentric斯特拉斯堡of Africa。
Rewriting the Nigerian Nation and Reimagining the Lesbian Nigerian Woman in Chinelo Okparanta’s Under the Udala Trees (2015)
espanolEste articulo tiene como proposito presentar un nuevo paradigma de la nacion postcolonial nigeriana a traves de la exploracion de la figura de la mujer negra y lesbiana en Nigeria. Discutire como la reconceptualizacion de la condicion de nacion de Nigeria se hace posible a traves de la revision que la autora Chinelo Okparanta hace de la feminidad nigeriana (subalterna y abyecta en este caso) desde una perspectiva homoerotica o afroqueer en su novela Under the Udala Trees (2015). La exploracion de la mujer nigeriana y lesbiana desde una perspectiva literaria claramente propone una forma valiosa y subversiva de reescribir, reconstruir y reconceptualizar la nacion nigeriana (postcolonial), con el proposito de que otras subjetividades instaladas en la otredad puedan formar parte del proyecto de construccion de la nacion. Okparanta, considerada escritora afrodiasporica y transcultural, interpela a la nacion nigeriana para asi mostrar configuraciones post-abismales de la misma que trascienden discursos reduccionistas y monoliticos. Haciendo uso de los planteamientos propuestos por intelectuales pertenecientes al campo de los Estudios Postcoloniales, de Genero o Estudios Queer como Neville Hoad, Ifi Amadiume, Lindsey Green-Simms o Lee Edelman, pretendo demostrar que la novela de Okparanta puede funcionar como practica de resistencia contra representaciones hegemonicas, heteronormativas y eurocentricas del continente africano. EnglishThis paper presents a revised paradigm of the postcolonial Nigerian nation through the exploration of the figure of the black lesbian in Nigeria. I argue that the reconceptualisation of Nigerian nationhood is enabled through the revision by Chinelo Okparanta in her debut novel Under the Udala Trees (2015) of subaltern and abject Nigerian womanhood carried out from a homoerotic or Afroqueer standpoint. The exploration of lesbian Nigerian woman(hood) from a literary stance clearly represents a valuable and subversive way of re-writing, re-constructing and re-conceptualising the postcolonial Nigerian nation so that othered subjectivities can also become part of the nation-building project. Okparanta, considered an Afrosporic and transcultural writer, interpellates the Nigerian nation in order to present us with post-abyssal configurations that transcend reductive and monolithic discourses. Drawing on the work of a wide array of scholars belonging to Postcolonial, Gender and Queer Studies —such as Neville Hoad, Ifi Amadiume, Lindsey Green-Simms, and Lee Edelman— I demonstrate how Okparanta’s novel can work as an example of resistance against hegemonic, heteronormative and Eurocentric representations of Africa.
