Re-signing History and Opening Up an Ethical Space of Disclosure: Yvette Christiansë’s Wyschogrodian Ethics in Unconfessed
Current Writing: Text and Reception in Southern Africa ( IF <0.1 ) Pub Date : 2018-07-03 , DOI: 10.1080/1013929x.2018.1503474

In and through her neo-slave narrative Unconfessed (2006), Yvette Christiansë not only salvages Sila van den Kaap from the archive but she also re-signs her history. Instead of simply filling in all the gaps left in the archival material, Christiansë crafts an elliptical, fragmented novel that speaks as much through what it reveals as through what it conceals. While the untellable excess of slavery bleeds, in absentia, from every page, the author eschews the graphic depiction of the pivotal event of violence as such, instead letting it resonate from the expressionistic emphasis on sensory images.

重新签署历史并开辟一个道德的披露空间:伊薇特·克里斯蒂安斯 (Yvette Christiansë) 的《未承认》中的 Wyschogrodian 伦理学

在她的新奴隶叙事 Unconfesed (2006) 中,Yvette Christiansë 不仅从档案中拯救了 Sila van den Kaap,而且还重新签署了她的历史。Christiansë 不是简单地填补档案材料中留下的所有空白,而是制作了一部椭圆形的、支离破碎的小说,通过它所揭示的和隐藏的东西来讲述。虽然无法描述的过度奴隶制在每一页都在缺席,但作者避开了对暴力事件的关键事件的图形描述,而是让它与对感官图像的表现主义强调产生共鸣。
