摘要

摘要:本文认为阿米塔夫·高希的《在一个古老的土地上》(1992)构成了对世界上一种公民形式的美学政治反思;一种通过自由和平等的方式分享和参与的方式。结合Étienne巴里巴关于文明和异端的概念，以及雅克·朗西对小说的不感性逻辑的表述，我研究了高希文本中不协调的世界政治。在分析小说的诗学和知识政治时，我认为小说有能力刻蚀主体化的异端形式，这种主体化形式与巴里巴所指出的(现代)政治主体的人类学不同。

Cosmopolis, Civility, and the Practice of Heretical History in Amitav Ghosh's In an Antique Land

Abstract:My essay argues that Amitav Ghosh's In an Antique Land (1992) constitutes an aesthetico-political reflection on a form of citizenship in the world; a way of sharing and taking part in it through a mode of freedom and equality. Conjoining Étienne Balibar's concepts of civility and heresy to Jacques Rancière's formulation of the dissensual logic of fiction, I study the incongruous cosmopolitics of Ghosh's text. Analyzing its poetics and politics of knowledge, I argue for the capacity of fiction to etch heretical forms of subjectivation that diverge from what Balibar designates as the anthropology of the (modern) political subject.
