闭合与解域:《秀拉》中身份想象的空间维度

Enclosure and Dis-closure——The Spatial Elements of Identity Imagination in Sula

文化身份通过空间划界的方式得以构建。在《秀拉》中,空间意象以原象和隐喻形式贯穿文本始终,成为小说人物的身份载体。小说表现了对空间闭合这一身份建构方式的摈弃,从而具有反身份叙事的解域特征。

Cultural identity is usually constructed within an enclosed space. In Sula, space is a predominant image and serves as the signifier of cultural identity. However, the novel rejects the conventional way of identity construction and tries to deterritorialize the social enclosure forced upon individuals.
