THE IMPACT OF SYED MUJTABA ALI'S TRAVELS ON INTERNATIONALISM IN LITERATURE

Abastract: Naeem Mohaiemen, a Bangladeshi filmmaker and installation artist, was nominated for the Turner Prize in 2018 and exhibited at the Tate Britain gallery in London. He presented three works, including a feature film about a stranded traveler in Athens, a documentary about the Non-Aligned Movement during the 1970s, and a concertina book called "Volume Eleven (Flaw in the Algorithm of Cosmopolitanism). Mohaiemen referenced three essays written by Syed Mujtaba Ali, discussing Hitler and Germany. Ali's works and travels provide valuable insights into literary cosmopolitanisms and transnational alliances, particularly in the context of fascism and Cold War dynamics. His extensive collection of literary works showcases his remarkable productivity and high regard. Deshe Bideshe, published in 1949, is a Bengali travelogue that chronicles Mujtaba Ali's journey to Afghanistan from 1927 to 1929. The narrative explores the cultural and political history of Afghanistan and its connection to the Indian subcontinent, focusing on the three Anglo-Afghan wars fought by Britain. Ali's international perspective is closely connected to historical events, political dynamics, and the concept of nationhood. Mujtaba Ali's writings and reminiscences served as valuable resources for Bengali readers throughout the 1950s and beyond, expressing interwar cosmopolitanism and serving as platforms for political commentary and social critique. His writings present a distinct perspective on the world and India's position within it, highlighting the concept of 'Greater India' that captivated Orientalists. Mujtaba Ali critiques 'Greater India' intellectuals, highlighting the historical, political, and economic foundations of India's regional identity. His expertise in philology and literature made him well-suited to assume the role of a cultural envoy on behalf of a recently emancipated secular state, highlighting the need for fostering Asian and African solidarities as a means of countering both Eastern and Western power blocs.

摘要：孟加拉裔电影制片人、装置艺术家纳伊姆·莫哈伊门（Naeem Mohaiemen）于2018年获特纳奖（Turner Prize）提名，并在伦敦泰特不列颠美术馆（Tate Britain）举办展览。其展出作品共三件：包括一部以雅典滞留旅客为主题的剧情长片、一部纪录20世纪70年代不结盟运动（Non-Aligned Movement）的纪录片，以及一件名为《第十一卷：世界主义算法的瑕疵》（Volume Eleven (Flaw in the Algorithm of Cosmopolitanism)）的风琴折书籍（concertina book）。

莫哈伊门引用了赛义德·穆吉塔巴·阿里（Syed Mujtaba Ali）的三篇论述希特勒与德国的文章。阿里的创作与游历经历为文学世界主义与跨国联盟提供了宝贵洞见，尤其在法西斯主义（fascism）与冷战（Cold War）格局的语境下。其数量颇丰的文学作品彰显了惊人的创作力与崇高声望。1949年出版的《Deshe Bideshe》是一部孟加拉语游记，记录了穆吉塔巴·阿里1927年至1929年的阿富汗之行。该叙事作品探索了阿富汗的文化与政治历史，及其与印度次大陆（Indian subcontinent）的关联，重点聚焦英国发动的三次英阿战争（Anglo-Afghan wars）。

阿里的国际视野与历史事件、政治格局及民族国家概念紧密相连。穆吉塔巴·阿里的作品与回忆录在20世纪50年代及之后为孟加拉语读者提供了宝贵资源，既表达了两次世界大战间的世界主义思潮，也成为政治评论与社会批判的载体。其作品呈现了独特的全球视角与印度在国际格局中的定位，凸显了令东方学家（Orientalists）着迷的"大印度"概念。穆吉塔巴·阿里对"大印度"知识分子群体展开批判，揭示了印度区域身份的历史、政治与经济根基。他在语文学（philology）与文学领域的专长使其足以胜任新近获得解放的世俗国家的文化使节，强调需推动亚非团结以对抗东西方两大权力集团。
