摘要

摘要:本文考察了阿卜杜勒拉赫曼·穆尼夫的《盐之城》及其对石油问世后阿拉伯半岛巨变的现实主义再现。本文运用Lukácsian唯物主义分析，结合文学和历史的发展，通过对文学创作、石油和全球资本主义之间关系的基本问题的提问，展示了Munif是如何在后殖民替代传统中定位的。通过描述被压迫者的美学，这篇文章为劳动剥削、个人异化、社会不平等和城市剥夺等关键问题提供了独特的视角。

The Aesthetics of the Oppressed: Oil and Capitalism in Abdelrahman Munif's Cities of Salt

Abstract:This essay examines Abdelrahman Munif's Cities of Salt and its realist representation of the Arabian Peninsula'smassive transformation after the advent of oil. Deploying a Lukácsian materialist analysis attuned to literary and historical development, this essay shows—through asking fundamental questions regarding the relationship between literary production, oil, and global capitalism—how Munif is situated within the postcolonial alternative tradition. By delineating what can be described as an aesthetics of the oppressed, this essay offers a unique perspective on crucial issues such as labor exploitation, individual alienation, social inequality, and urban deprivation.
