摘要

这篇社论故意偏离常规。它试图使用David Attwell在2021年发表的Percy Baneshik Memorial Lecture来捆绑为本期EAR编写的文章，39(1)。这样开始的诱惑是难以抗拒的;讲座的题目是“如果有神的话，你到底侍奉什么神?”“:索因卡的编年史和后殖民理性的毁灭”，对广阔的文学领域进行了深远的反思。这是因为它聚焦于第一代非洲作家沃勒·索因卡，尤其是他的《地球上最幸福的人的土地》(2021)，(重新)将读者定位于至少自20世纪以来西方殖民现代性对非洲认识论的影响。

African Aesthetics: A Matter of Reason or Cosmology?

This editorial deliberately departs from the norm. It attempts to use the Percy Baneshik Memorial Lecture delivered in 2021 by David Attwell to tie up the articles compiled for this issue of EAR, 39(1). The temptation to begin thus was difficult to resist; the lecture’s title, “‘Just What Gods Do You Serve, If Any?’: Wole Soyinka’s Chronicle and the Destruction of Postcolonial Reason”, intimates a far-reaching reflection on a vast literary terrain. This is because its focus on a first-generation African writer, Wole Soyinka, and particularly on his Chronicles from the Land of the Happiest People on Earth (2021), (re-)orients the reader to the consequences of Western colonial modernity for African epistemologies since at least the twentieth century.
