非洲人,尤其是女性,很少接受旅行作家的目光。旅行者通常被认为是白色、西方人和男性。1998年,科特迪瓦作家Véronique Tadjo与其他非洲作家一起前往卢旺达,反思并撰写1994年的种族灭绝。这篇文章的重点是L'Ombre d'Imana:voyages jusqu'Au bout du Rwanda(2000),她出版的旅行叙事作为这次旅行的结果。它分析了Tadjo如何将自己和她的读者定位为卢旺达的一个模棱两可的游客,以及她如何成功地挑战了关于种族灭绝的公认观点。
Africans, particularly women, rarely assume the travel writer's gaze. The traveller is generally assumed to be white, Western and male. In 1998, Ivorian author Véronique Tadjo travelled to Rwanda with a group of other African writers to reflect upon and write about the 1994 genocide. This article focuses on L'Ombre d'Imana: voyages jusqu'au bout du Rwanda (2000), the travel narrative she published as a result of this trip. It analyses the ways in which Tadjo positions herself and her reader as an ambiguous tourist in Rwanda and how, in doing so, she succeeds in challenging received ideas about the genocide.
