卡里尔·菲利普斯是英国著名文化学者吉尔罗伊流散思想最精粹的表达者,尤其是其作品《渡河》被公认为是吉尔罗伊的《黑色大西洋》中所表达的流散思想的范例文本,也是菲利普斯流散思想的精华体现。二人均强烈抵制将黑奴与奴隶主、统治者与被统治者等一系列关系简单粗暴的对立,反对以国家和民族为基础的流散身份模式,致力于一种无种族的混杂研究,《渡河》1993年出版时,因身负刻意遗忘“非洲”形象和“美化”白人的罪名一度被视为是殖民统治的共谋者,质疑声颇多。但如果在全球化语境下加以观照就不难发现,随着大规模的移民迁徙运动的发展,流散群族与流散文学也得以发展。《渡河》虽然具有局限性,但作者所表达的超前的流散思想与当前的流散趋势不谋而合。小说往日备受抨击的方面恰恰应和今日流散文化之趋势,成为智者对流散文化的一部预言书。同时菲利普斯流散思想的形成也经历一个演变过程。 Carrill Phillips is the most quintessential expressionist of Gilroy’s Diaspora thinking by the famous British scholar of culture, especially his work “Crossing the River” is widely accepted as a model text of the Diaspora thinking expressed in “Gilroy’s Black Atlantic” , But also the essence of Phillips thought of diaspora. Both of them strongly opposed the simple and rude antagonism of a series of relations such as slaves, slaves, rulers and ruled people, opposed the national-ethnic-based pattern of dispersal of identities and devoted themselves to a non-racial mixed study. “Crossing the river ”At the time of its publication in 1993, it was once considered a collusion of colonial rule by the people who deliberately forgotten the image of“ Africa ”and“ beautifying ”white people. There were many voices of doubt. However, if we look at it in the context of globalization, it is not hard to find that with the development of large-scale immigration and migration movements, the dispersed and exiled literature has also been developed. Although crossing the river has limitations, the author’s ideas of advanced divergence coincide with the current trend of dispersal. The much criticized aspects of the novel in the past should precisely coincide with the trend of the diaspora culture today and become a prophecy book about the diaspora of the wise man. At the same time, the formation of Phillips thought also has undergone an evolutionary process.
