摘要:非洲与拉丁美洲共享殖民历史与创伤记忆,二者跨洋文学互动是全球南方文明互鉴的典型样态,但现有研究多局限于非文学领域,文学互鉴的系统梳理、生成机制阐释与理论范式反思明显薄弱。文章立足全球南方视阈,系统考察非洲文学在拉丁美洲从殖民时期隐蔽传播、“文学黑人主义”浅层探索,到去殖民化阶段的自主创新的历史嬗进,揭示拉美文学在非洲文学影响下突破本土流散困境、完成身份寻根与精神筑家的演进路径。作为全球南方自主知识建构的重要成果,朱振武领衔建构的“中国非洲文学学”,依托“四大流散理论”等阐释全球南方共通的流散困境与身份建构逻辑,为非拉文学摆脱西方话语霸权、深化南南合作、构建自主知识体系提供中国方案与学术参照。

Title: From Diaspora to Reterritorialization: Africa–Latin America Literary Interaction and the Reconstruction of Native Diaspora from the Global South Perspective

Abstract: Africa and Latin America share a common colonial history and traumatic legacy, and their transoceanic literary dialogue represents a paradigmatic manifestation of civilizationalinterconnection within the Global South. Existing scholarship, however, remains largely confined to non-literary domains, leaving systematic examination of literary exchange, explanatory accounts of its formative mechanisms, and critical reflection on theoretical paradigms underdeveloped. Adopting a Global South perspective, this paper traces the historical trajectory of African literature in Latin America—from its clandestine transmission via folk arts under colonial rule, through the superficial appropriation of Literary Negrism, to autonomous innovation in the era of decolonization. It elucidates how Latin American literature, informed by African literary traditions, transcends the predicament of diaspora, fulfills identity reclamation, and accomplishes spiritual reterritorialization. As a landmark contribution to autonomous knowledge-building in the Global South, the Chinese African Literaturology pioneered by Zhu Zhenwu, grounded in the “Fourfold Diaspora Theory” and other core constructs, unpacks the shared diasporic condition and identity dynamics across the Global South. It furnishes a Chinese intellectual framework and scholarly reference for Africa–Latin America literary studies to dismantle Western discursive hegemony, deepen South–South collaboration, and establish an autonomous knowledge system.

Keywords: Global South Literature; Africa–Latin America Literary Interaction; Autonomous Knowledge System; Chinese African Literaturology; Diaspora
