摘　　要：南非作家达蒙·加尔古特的后现代主义小说《承诺》采用农场时空体叙事方式,形成了独特的现实关照意义及叙事美学。小说叙事将南非废除种族隔离前后32年的社会历史浓缩于一个农场空间之中,聚焦农场上的房屋、汽车、墓地三大隐喻性空间,绘制了一幅抽象但立体的图画,可供读者多维度了解转型期南非社会,包括其政治生态、资本运行模式、种族与阶层关系以及个体的情感状态和伦理自觉,形成了詹姆逊所主张的、以透析整体社会结构为使命的认知图绘美学表达。Farm in The Promise,a postmodernist novel by Damon Galgut,acts as a narrative chronotope through which the aesthetics and historicity of the novel is expressed.The novel tries to condense and visualize 32 years'history of apartheid and post-apartheid South Africa in the space of a farm.Focusing on the metaphorical spaces including houses,cars and cemeteries,the narrative offers us an abstract yet stereoscopic picture through which the reader is compelled to see the social structure of South Africa from 1986 to 2018,and thus to know its politics,the operation system of the cross-nation capital,racial and class struggles,and the emotional and ethical responses of the individuals.As a result,the narrative forms an aesthetic of cognitive mapping,which,according to Fredric Jameson,is committed to unwrap the totality of the social structure.
