摘要

摘要:本文以班金·钱德拉·查特吉的《阿南达玛斯》(1882年)和泰戈尔的《戈拉》(1909年)两部孟加拉小说为研究对象，探讨两部小说如何记录了孟加拉向殖民资本主义现代性的过渡。文章首先讨论了这些小说对1769-73年饥荒和靛蓝起义的描述，这些都是孟加拉殖民历史上的具体事件。然后，它考察了这些小说的形式特点，以了解它们对孟加拉过渡经历的调解。这篇文章认为这些小说预示着一场实践危机，并认为每个文本如何解决这一危机，说明了一种不同的政治概念。

Cognitive Maps of the Semiperiphery: Two Bengali Novels and the Transition to Colonial Capitalist Modernity

Abstract:The essay focuses on two Bengali novels—Bankim Chandra Chatterji's Anandamath (1882) and Rabindranath Tagore's Gora (1909)—to reflect on how they register Bengal's transition to colonial capitalist modernity. It begins by discussing the novels' portrayal of the famine of 1769-73 and the Indigo Revolt, specific events from Bengal's colonial history. It then examines the novels' formal peculiarities to understand their mediation of Bengal's experience of transition. Arguing that the novels signal a crisis of praxis, the essay posits that how the texts each resolve this crisis illuminates a divergent conception of politics.
