摘　　要：兰斯顿·休斯是20世纪美国重要的非裔诗人,但他20世纪30年代的诗歌由于常常被认为政治性过强而没有引起学界足够重视。本文则以休斯1934年的诗作《立方块》为研究对象,剖析其政治表达与艺术实验之间的关系。分析发现:以立体主义为代表的精英现代主义在西方文化空间政治中充当了同谋者的角色,帮助西方宗主国加强了对非洲殖民地的意识形态操控;休斯基于对精英现代主义批判和回写,表达并展演了自己的大众现代主义诗学观。本文认为,这首诗反映了休斯在20世纪30年代坚守的艺术为政治服务的实用诗学原则,也体现了他毕生追求的艺术与政治融合的诗学理想。Langston Hughes is a leading 20th-Century African American poet,but his 1930 s poems have not received due scholarly attention for they are usually viewed as more political than artistical. This article,however,gives a reading to his 1934 poem "Cubes" to examine how politics interplays with art in his poetry. It is found that elitist modernism as represented by cubism plays a role of conspiracy in the politics of cultural space,contributing to consolidating the western suzerain state’s ideological domination over its African colony,and that Hughes,by criticizing and writing back against elitist modernism,expresses his popular modernist poetics. Hughes’ s poetic practice in "Cubes"reflects the pragmatic poetics of art serving politics,which he adhered to in the 1930 s,and meanwhile embodies his life-long pursuit of the ideal poetics,i. e.,"integrating art with politics.
