摘　　要：古尔纳的小说《来世》借助普通人的人生际遇来审视坦桑尼亚曾沦为德国殖民地的一段悲惨历史,展现了创伤记忆、身份建构与宏大历史之间错综复杂的关系。小说以人物的身心创伤为身份认同的载体,以多种形式呈现创伤记忆,治愈战争留下的伤痛,鼓励人们勇敢面对过往经历,不再规避自我身份,重拾伦理责任,并同非洲土著社群重建联系。古尔纳还原了历史记忆的真实面目,颠覆了官方书面历史的宏大话语,从而在历史的碎片中实现了伦理身份的建构和情感共同体的追寻。Abdulrazak Gurnah's novel Afterlives examines the tragic history of Tanzania as a German colony through the life experiences of ordinary people,showing the intricate relationship between traumatic memories,identity construction,and grand history.The novel uses the physical and psychological trauma of the characters as the carrier of identity,presenting traumatic memories in various forms,healing the wounds left behind by the war,encouraging people to face the past with courage,no longer avoid the identity of the self,regain the ethical responsibility,and re-establish the connection with African indigenous community.Gurnah restores the true face of historical memory and subverts the grandiose discourse of official written history,thus realizing the construction of ethical identity and the pursuit of emotional community in the fragments of history.
