摘要

19世纪维多利亚时代的浪漫主义激发了人们对童话故事的迷恋，在英国及其殖民地和领土上兴起了以童话为主题命名地方的趋势。将为殖民利益服务的小岛，如种植园、监狱、军事哨所和海上贸易哨所，理想化为田园诗般的、风景如画的、童话般的地方，在保持殖民文化主导地位的同时，唤起了帝国的属性。旅游业、离岸金融和房地产业的发展，将童话主题的海岛命名和海岛位置的理想主义延续到了下一个世纪。本文通过档案分析和自动人种学的综合研究，考察了百慕大作为一个被宣传的“仙境”及其专属飞地“仙境”的情况，并有助于岛屿研究和文化的地名研究的发展。

Fairylands: Bermuda’s ‘Idyllic’ (and Exclusive) Enclave

19th century Victorian-era romanticism fuelled popular fascination with fairytales and a trend of fairy-themed place naming in Britain and its colonies and territories. The idealising of small islands that served colonial interests as plantations, prisons, military outposts, and maritime trade posts as idyllic, picturesque, fairytale places evoked attributes of empire while maintaining the status quo of dominant colonial culture. The development of tourism, offshore financing and real estate industries perpetuated the idealism of fairy-themed imaginative place naming of islands and island locations into the next century. This article examines the case of Bermuda as a promoted ‘fairy land’ and its exclusive enclave, Fairylands, through a synthesis of archival analysis and auto-ethnography and contributes to the development of toponymic studies in island research and culture.
