摘要

摘要:本文考察了菲利斯·亚历克西娅·佩里的新奴隶叙事《耻辱》，其中约鲁巴人关于母系轮回的概念，或称yetunde，充当了奴隶历史与后奴隶制时代非裔美国人身份之间的接口。具体来说，小说改编了约鲁巴人的“yetunde”概念，构建了主人公丽齐与她的女性祖先之间的肉体和情感联系。利用非殖民化的创伤理论，本文展示了佩里的小说如何不仅拒绝西方本体论的首要地位，而且坚持从后殖民的角度重新评估奴役的创伤历史。

"The Circle Stands before You": Reincarnation and Traumatic Memory in Phyllis Alesia Perry's Stigmata

Abstract:This essay examines Phyllis Alexia Perry's Stigmata, a neo-slave narrative in which the Yoruba concept of matrilineal reincarnation, or yetunde, serves as an interface between the slave past and postslavery African American identity. Specifically, the novel adapts the Yoruba notion of yetunde to frame the corporeal and emotional connection that the protagonist, Lizzie, shares with her female ancestors. Drawing on decolonized trauma theory, this essay shows how Perry's novel not only rejects the primacy of Western ontologies but also insists that a reappraisal of the traumatic history of enslavement be evaluated from a postcolonial perspective.
