论《宠儿》的身体叙事与主体建构

On Body Narratology and Subject Construction in Beloved

托妮·莫里森的代表作《宠儿》运用感性、物性的身体为叙事手段和叙事对象,使蓄奴制时代美国非裔尤其是非裔女性的历史际遇和现实体验得以由不可言说变得可以"言说",淋漓尽致地揭露了白人种族主义对黑人尤其是黑人女性主体的剥夺与压迫,同时展现了后者在特定历史条件下以身体为武器和战场展开的抗拒与颠覆;《宠儿》文本也得以借助身体叙事建构黑人女性写作的主体,消解西方理性传统和男性中心文化。

Employing the perceptual and material body as the narrative technique and object, the masterpiece of Toni Morrison Beloved turns the unspeakable painful historic and realistic experience of the AfroAmerican people, especially the Afro-American women, to be speakable, which reveals profoundly the white racists deprivation and oppression on the black and black women. Meanwhile, with body as a weapon and battlefield, the black defend the subject and overturn the white＇s oppression. By means of the body narratolody, the text Beloved succeeds in constructing the subject of the black women writing, and destructing the western rational tradition and the male-centered culture.
