《薄如晨曦》中蒂图巴黑奴女巫身份认同研究

Identity Research of Black Witch Tituba in I,Tituba

法属瓜德罗普裔作家玛丽斯·孔戴的小说《薄如晨曦》围绕黑奴、女巫等多重身份的主角蒂图巴展开,探索17世纪巴巴多斯和美洲大陆的少数族裔女性身份认同危机以及自我身份重建的过程。基于萨特存在主义思想“存在先于本质”“自由选择”,分析蒂图巴在宗教、种族和性别的冲突中,采取一系列积极、不懈的行动,反抗与报复命运的不公、通过工作创造并实现自我价值、与其他女性互相扶持形成互助同盟等,走上并完成重建自我身份认同之路。

French Guadeloupean author Maryse Condé’s novel I,Tituba depicts Tituba’s multiple identities such as black slaves and witches,and explores the identity crisis of ethnic minority women and the process of self-identity reconstruction in Barbados and the American continent in the 17th century.Based on Sartre’s existentialism“existence precedes essence”and“freedom of choice”,this paper analyzes Tituba’s active and unremitting actions in the conflict of religion,race and gender,such as resistance and revenge against the injustice of fate,creation and realization of self-value through work,and mutual support and alliance with the females,so as to start and complete the reconstruction road of self-identity.
