Abstract:

This article examines Sand's response to the Paris Commune through a rereading of her novel Nanon, which she started writing just two months after the Commune's collapse, in July 1871. Sand's work of fiction refracts the recent traumas of this urban uprising through a retelling of the French Revolution, and the period of the nation's first Commune (1792–95)—this, from the perspective of the provinces. The article thinks through this double "displacement" of 1871 in Nanon—in particular, the distance that the novel cultivates from the capital of revolution. It situates Sand's pastoral narrative in relation to contemporaneous discourses on the Commune that recognised in the peasant class an impediment to its radical Republican politics. However unfashionable the pragmatic version of Sand's Republicanism might be, this article sets out to take seriously the writer's political thought as it was transposed in fiction. In redescribing, from the periphery, the peasants' alienation from the political centre, Sand interrogates the blind spots in the Commune's theorisation of "people" and "nation."

摘要：

本文通过重新阅读她的小说《纳农》（Nanon）来考察桑德对巴黎公社的反应，该小说在1871年7月公社倒台后仅两个月就开始写作。从各省的角度来看，法国大革命以及该国第一个公社时期（1792-95年）。文章通过纳农1871年的双重“流离失所”来思考-尤其是小说与革命之都的距离。它把桑德（Sand）的田园叙事置于关于公社的当代话语上，后者在农民阶级中认识到阻碍其激进共和党政治的因素。无论桑德的共和主义的实用主义版本多么不合时宜，本文着手认真对待作家的政治思想，将其转变为小说。在从外围重新描述农民与政治中心的疏远时，桑德质疑公社对“人民”和“民族”的理论化中的盲点。
