Abstract: Since the independence movements, various currents of thought in West Africa have conflicted, collided, hybridized, or absorbed one another, resulting in a highly complex literary landscape. Deeply influenced by Marxism, West African literature has developed multiple literary paradigms, including traditional critique and realist critique, out of a critical poetics with distinct features of Négritude. The dissemination, reception, and active engagement of Marxism transformed the political and cultural landscape across different regions of Africa, gradually endowing West African literature with powerful critical force. This enabled it to advance steadily amid various struggles and contributed to the redrawing of the world literary map.

Key words: West African literature, critical poetics, traditional critique, realistic critique, Marxism

摘要: 自独立运动以来,各种思潮在西非冲突、碰撞、杂合或吸纳,使西非文学呈现出十分复杂的样态。受马克思主义的深度影响,西非文学从独具黑人性的批判诗学中发展出了传统批判和现实批判等多种不同的文学范式。马克思主义的传播、接纳和深度参与,改变了非洲各区域的政治和文化图景,使西非文学逐渐显现出强大的批判力,使之在各种博弈中稳步前行,为世界文学版图的重新绘制贡献了力量。
