摘要

这篇文章关注的是有代表性的读者对劳伦·比克斯的《后境》的反应。与伯克斯的名声相符,这部小说受到了好评。然而,其他读者注意到,从怀疑解释学的角度来看,可以有效地看到空白和消极的表述,这允许对文本的情感敏感性进行分析,并建立一个人权框架,强调所有人的平等和免于偏见的权利。Afterland的世界以大多数前列腺患者死亡后的后果为特色,为戏剧性地重新定义性别角色和行为提供了机会,并为读者提供了将交通影响融入叙事和减轻群体外焦虑的可能性。这样的过程可以减少偏见,增加同理心。通过仔细阅读小说的部分内容,并特别关注跨性别者的例子,我注意到这部小说没有通过其表现和空白将跨性别者的权利视为人权。在大流行期间,对性别、性取向和某种程度上的种族的其他表述也与提高对边缘化和高危个人权利的警惕的需要不一致。“OpsommingDie”文章的作者劳伦·比克斯(Lauren Beukes)说,他的文章是在《Afterland》杂志上发表的。在奥里斯坦遇到了伯克斯,他的名声就像在罗马遇到了贝格罗特。在两种情况下,两种情况下,一种是消极的,一种是消极的,一种是消极的,一种是消极的,一种是消极的,一种是消极的,一种是消极的,一种是消极的,一种是消极的,一种是消极的。此外,还有一个例子是:“在我们的工作中,我们的工作原理是:lê op die reg van alle mense tot gelykheid en vryheid van vooroordeel”。Die wêreld van Afterland,是什么意思,是什么意思,是什么意思,是什么意思,是什么意思,是什么意思,是什么意思,是什么意思,是什么意思,是什么意思,是什么意思,是什么意思,是什么意思,是什么意思,是什么意思,是什么意思,是什么意思。Sodanige过程使vermindering van voororordele在同情的月球上命名。有些人认为变性人是焦点,有些人认为变性人是焦点,有些人认为变性人是焦点,有些人认为变性人是焦点,有些人认为变性人是焦点。在对性别的研究中,追求质量是一种重要的因素,而不是一种重要的因素,这是一种对性别的研究,一种对性别的研究,一种对性别的研究,一种对性别的研究,一种对性别的研究,一种对性别的研究。

Imagined Identity and Human Rights in the Post-pandemic World of Lauren Beukes’s Afterland
The article concerns itself with representative readers’ responses to Afterland by Lauren Beukes. In line with Beukes’s reputation, the novel has received acclaim. However, other readers have noted lacunae and negative representations that can fruitfully be viewed from the perspective of a hermeneutics of suspicion, which allows for an analysis of the affective sensibility of a text, and a human rights framework, which emphasises all humans’ right to equality and freedom from prejudice. The world of Afterland, featuring the aftermath of the death of most people with prostates, offers an opportunity for dramatically reconceptualised gender roles and behaviours, and the possibility for readers to experience the effects of transportation into a narrative and the alleviation of out-group anxiety. Such processes allow for prejudice reduction and an increase in empathy. Through a close reading of sections of the novel, and by focusing particularly on the instance of transgender, I note that the novel fails to figure transgender rights as human rights through its representations and lacunae. Other representations of gender, sexuality and, to some extent, race is also at variance with the need for increased vigilance about the rights of marginalised and at-risk individuals during a pandemic. Opsomming Die artikel is gemoeid met verteenwoordigende lesers se reaksies op Afterland, deur Lauren Beukes. In ooreenstemming met Beukes se reputasie is die roman met toejuiging begroet. Ander lesers het egter leemtes en negatiewe voorstellings opgemerk, wat met sukses beskou kan word vanuit die perspektief van ’n hermeneutiek van agterdog, wat ’n ontleding van die affektiewe ontvanklikheid van ’n teks moontlik maak; sowel as ’n menseregteraamwerk, wat klem lê op die reg van alle mense tot gelykheid en vryheid van vooroordeel. Die wêreld van Afterland, wat gekenmerk word deur die nadraai van die dood van die meeste mense wat ’n prostaat het, bied ’n geleentheid vir dramaties gerekonseptualiseerde geslagsrolle en -gedrag, en die moontlikheid vir lesers om die uitwerkings van transportasie in ’n verhaal in en die verligting van buite-groep-angs te ervaar. Sodanige prosesse maak vermindering van vooroordele en ’n toename in empatie moontlik. Deur gedeeltes van die roman deeglik deur te lees en veral op die geval van transgender te fokus, merk ek op dat die roman nie daarin slaag om transgender-regte as menseregte uit te beeld deur sy voorstellings en leemtes nie. Ander voorstellings van gender, seksualiteit en, in ’n mate, ras, is ook strydig met die behoefte aan verhoogde waaksaamheid oor die regte van gemarginaliseerdes en individue wat in gevaar verkeer tydens ’n pandemie.
