摘要

在19世纪,美拉尼西亚人被欧洲海上探险家蔑称为黑人(mela =黑色;尼西亚=岛屿)。关于黑人太平洋的新兴学术关注的是历史和当代大洋洲和非洲散居人民、文化和政治之间的认同和表达,这些认同和表达是基于对殖民占领者的共同差异性。这篇文章通过展示美拉尼西亚的一个视角,专注于音乐,这是一种流行的反殖民表达形式,为这种学术贡献了力量。它从两个广泛的阶段考察了基于大西洋的黑人权力和黑人感恩观念的人与人和人与人的文本接触。太平洋战争是一个分界线和转折点,在此期间和之后,这种冲突开始加剧。讨论将这些非洲流散的知识传统/话语/认识论与indig nitude的知识传统/话语/认识论联系起来,也就是说,通过对黑人跨国主义的暗示,以及这两种运动解决殖民经历产生的“自卑困惑”的方式,进行了土著性的全球表达。它展示了特别是在过去的35年里,美拉尼西亚人如何努力扭转其殖民种族结构的贬低意图,并在此过程中帮助创造了现在可能被认为是黑人太平洋的地区。

The “Black Pacific” and decolonisation in Melanesia: Performing négritude and indigènitude
In the 19th century Melanesians were pejoratively labelled black by European maritime explorers (mela = black; nesia = islands). Emerging scholarship on the Black Pacific focuses on historical and contemporary identifications and articulations between Oceanian and African diasporic peoples, cultures and politics based upon shared Otherness to colonial occupiers. This essay contributes to such scholarship by presenting a perspective from Melanesia with a focus on music, a popular form of countercolonial expression. It examines in two broad phases person-to-person and person-to-text encounters with Atlantic-based notions of Black Power and négritude. The Pacific War serves as a dividing line and turning point, during and following which such encounters began to intensify. The discussion links these African diasporic intellectual traditions/discourses/epistemologies with that of indigènitude, that is, performed global expressions of Indigenousness, through allusions to Black transnationalism and the ways both movements address the “inferiority confusion” that arose from experiences of colonisation. It demonstrates how in the last 35 years in particular, Melanesians have worked to invert the demeaning intention of their colonial racial construction and, in the process, have helped to create what may now be thought of as the Black Pacific.
