Summary This article discusses the contribution of Ronnie Govender, a South African writer, to build decolonial sensibilities and delink from the grand narrative of the colonial literary landscape in the short story “Over My Dead Body”. Govender uses the world of art to make a decolonial statement. Decolonial artists work in the entanglement of power and engage with a border epistemology, those in the margins, the wretched of the earth. “Over My Dead Body” foregrounds the wounds infringed by racism, a pillar of Eurocentric knowing, sensing and believing that sustains a structure of knowledge. This structure is embedded in characters, institutions and languages that regulate and manage the world of the excluded. Healing is the process of delinking, or regaining pride, dignity, and humanity. The legacies of the community of Cato Manor that was pushed out of their land are built in Govender’s stories. Decoloniality then is a concept that carries the experience of liberation struggles and recognises the strenuous conditions of marginalised people together with their strength, wisdom, and endurance. The body invoked by decolonial thinkers like Fanon and Biko is a black body, a racialised and humiliated body.

罗尼·戈文德 (Ronnie Govender) 的“在我的尸体上”的非殖民化阅读

总结 本文讨论了南非作家罗尼·戈文德 (Ronnie Govender) 在短篇小说《越过我的尸体》(Over My Dead Body) 中对建立非殖民主义情感并与殖民文学景观的宏大叙事脱节的贡献。戈文德利用艺术世界来发表去殖民主义的声明。非殖民主义艺术家在权力的纠缠中工作，并参与边缘认识论，边缘的人，地球上的可悲者。“在我的尸体之上”突出了种族主义所侵犯的伤口，这是支持知识结构的以欧洲为中心的认识、感知和信仰的支柱。这种结构嵌入在规范和管理被排斥者世界的字符、制度和语言中。治愈是脱钩或重新获得骄傲、尊严和人性的过程。被赶出土地的卡托庄园社区的遗产建立在 Govender 的故事中。非殖民化是一个概念，它承载着解放斗争的经验，承认边缘人的艰苦条件以及他们的力量、智慧和忍耐力。像法农和比科这样的非殖民思想家所引用的身体是一个黑人身体，一个种族化和屈辱的身体。
