从《最蓝的眼睛》看莫里森对黑人文化的传承与发展

On Toni Morrison's Contribution to the Inheritance and Development of the Black Culture

美国黑人女作家,托尼·莫里森一直致力于弘扬黑人传统文化。在《最蓝的眼睛》中她传承了黑人口头文学的艺术形式,把黑人口头文学中常出现的自然、时间等手段成功地引入到小说创作当中,并且运用多视角叙述、"碎片化"语言及意识流等现代主义手法,使古老的民间传说绽放出新的光辉。

As an Afro - American writer, Toni Morrison deeply roots her work in the black culture, and her works contribute much to retaining and developing the black oral tradition, which can be seen in her first novel the Bluest Eye. With the black in mind, she always tells stories rich in African - American folklore. Her prose is inflected with black musical traditions such as the spirituals, jazz and the blues. She uses the modernist techniques such as multiple perspectives, deliberate fragmentation and stream of consciousness to explore the destiny and options of the black in culture conflict.
