摘要
怪诞是当代非洲裔美国黑人女作家托妮·莫里森“诗性批判”风格的重要形成因素。本文着重探讨了莫里森小说《宠儿》中怪诞的双重性特征 ,指出莫里森把怪诞的恐惧性与再生性融为一体 ,形成了否定性与肯定性之间的辩证张力 ;这种双重性使怪诞与崇高和优美有机结合 ,从而形成了其独特的审美价值。
The grotesque is one of the essential formal elements of Toni Morrison's 'poetic criticism.' The present paper discusses the double effects of the grotesque in Beloved and argues that Morrison establishes a dialectical tension between the negative mode(referring to horror) and the positive mode(referring to renewal)of the grotesque, not allowing her fiction to rest in either one. Furthermore, it assumes that these two modes make it possible for the grotesque to be connected with the sublime and beauty, and thereby a unique aesthetic style has been formed in this fiction.
