摘　　要：地图在早期的殖民活动中不仅发挥着实证主义的向导功能,也是一种认识世界的方式。在古尔纳的早期作品《朝圣之路》中,殖民地图作为权力话语和知识形式,其意识形态特征及制图摹仿谬误,是帝国种族政治叙事的重要修辞策略,也是破解主人公达乌德沉默谜题的关键所在。古尔纳赋予坎特伯雷—桑给巴尔以殖民地与殖民者的双重视角,揭示出地图话语对种族政治不同表征的形塑。通过地图和文学的互动,古尔纳的叙事地图将主人公的城市行走视为探查种族政治隐秘运行路径的具身性实践,将沉默视为防守叙事的灵感来源。对地图的知识与政治的探绎显露出叙事地图在后殖民反权威写作中的潜能。In early colonial activities,maps not only play the role of a positivist guide,but also function as a way of knowing the world.This essay argues that in Abdulrazak Gurnah's early work Pilgrims Way,the colonial map,as a discourse of power and a form of knowledge,with its ideological characteristics and the cartographic mimicry fallacy,is an important rhetorical strategy of the imperial racial politics narrative and the key to deciphering the puzzle of the protagonist Daud's silence.The dual perspectives of Zanzibar and Canterbury as colony and colonizer reveal how map discourse shapes different representations of racial politics.Through the interaction of maps and literature,Gurnah's narrative map views the protagonist's city walk as an embodied practice of probing the hidden paths of racial politics,and silence as a source of inspiration for defensive narrative.The exploration of map knowledge and its politics points to the potential of map narrative in postcolonial anti-authority writing.
