项目摘要

This research investigates the uneasy conflation of contemporary discourses on terrorism with the insurgency violence in India, Nigeria and Burma, which are home for some of the longest-running armed conflicts in the postcolonial world. It seizes upon the prolific output of insurgency literature - novels, autobiographies, reportage narratives - in the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks. A major contribution of this research lies with its timely construction of a preliminary body of comparative criticism on insurgency literature, while identifying a thematic shift in its historical trajectory: from the dichotomous configuration of armed conflicts as the products of competing ideologies between the state and revolutionaries, to a more nuanced account of the diffused and disenfranchised nature of violence among a wide spectrum of political actors. Correspondingly, this research proposes an alternative framework through a subset of concepts, namely necro-nationalism and cultures of violence, that help underscore how the longue durée of conflicts in India, Nigeria and Burma have led to the construction of violence as a normative cultural practice among state authorities, private armies and insurgency groups. Hence, the suggested move towards post-terrorism in this research is inspired by the same ethical bind as its theoretical commitment to register the multiple modalities of violence that pervade contemporary world politics. Considering the fact that this project is based in Germany, it holds a strategic advantage to draw upon, and respond to, the debates on violence in the German literary studies (Germanistik und Komparatistik), Holocaust Studies, and Memory Studies.

本研究调查了当代关于恐怖主义的话语与印度、尼日利亚和缅甸的叛乱暴力的令人不安的融合，这些国家是后殖民世界中一些持续时间最长的武装冲突的发源地。它利用了9/11袭击后大量的叛乱文学作品——小说、自传、报告文学叙事。本研究的一个主要贡献在于及时构建了对叛乱文学的初步比较批评体系，同时确定了其历史轨迹的主题转变：从武装冲突的二分配置作为国家和革命者之间意识形态竞争的产物，到更细致地描述广泛的政治行动者之间暴力的扩散和剥夺的性质。相应地，本研究通过一系列概念提出了另一种框架，即死亡民族主义和暴力文化，这有助于强调印度、尼日利亚和缅甸的长期冲突是如何导致国家当局、私人军队和叛乱团体将暴力建构为一种规范的文化实践的。因此，本研究中建议的后恐怖主义的发展受到同样的伦理约束的启发，因为它的理论承诺是记录当代世界政治中普遍存在的多种形式的暴力。考虑到这个项目基于德国的事实，它具有战略优势，可以借鉴和回应德国文学研究（Germanistik und Komparatistik）、大屠杀研究和记忆研究中关于暴力的辩论。
