摘要
作为唯一一位获得诺贝尔文学奖的美国黑人女作家,托妮·莫里森的作品受到了广泛的关注。其中,《柏油娃娃》是最有争议的一部作品。本文认为,作为后殖民主义小说的《柏油娃娃》中的主要人物在加勒比海的骑士岛、巴黎、纽约和弗罗里达州的埃罗等地域之间旅行、移位,对于后殖民时期的美国黑人对抗单一的、本质主义的黑人文化身份具有重要意义。小说采取的空间策略对莫里森反思美国黑人和白人的文化冲突、探索当代黑人的文化身份具有重要作用。
As the only Afro-American female writer who has received the Nobel Prize for Literature, Toni Morrison has drawn world-wide attention. Each of her novels has received considerable critical studies, but Tar Baby is perhaps the least written about and the most controversial work. This paper, however, argues that it is very significant for Morrison to set her story of Tar baby in different places such as the Caribbean Isle des Chevaliers, Paris, New York and Eloe. The space strategy adopted in this postcolonial novel plays a very important role for black characters to resist a fixed, essential identity and search for a mobile black cultural identity instead.
